What I built

Web Monetization is really cool.
I came up with an idea that how existing content creators could add web-monetization to all their websites/projects.

Adding the monetization meta tag is simple, but it can be tiring to add it one-by-one to all your projects and webpages by opening them and add the tag.

With the monetize-files command-line tool, you can do it in just one simple command.


npm install -g monetize-files
cd your_project
monetize-files -w 'wallet address


Really, that's it!
monetize-files will figure out the html files by default and add that monetization meta tag to that file. You can also use other filetypes like pug or ejs if you want.

Submission Category:

monetize-files falls into the category of Foundational technology.

Demo

That's it to quickly get started with monetize-files.

If you want you can customize

• which filetype will it monetize
• which folder and its contents will it exclude from being monetized
• run it as dev-dependency for your project instead of a global dependency

All of these customization can be found here on the github repo.
Go on have a look ;)

How I built it

I have used JavaScript entirely to built this simple CLI tool.
However, my package has one dependency on yargs.

Basically, monetize-files takes input from the command line through yargs, figures out the files and directories to be scanned using and makes changes to these files using fs.

Additional Resources/Info

The tool can be found here on npmjs.

I really enjoyed building this and liked this hackathon. ;D
