request: build hooks

[Mastersam07]

Is there an existing feature request for this?

• I have searched the existing issues.

Description

I would like to run certain commands after the build process is complete.

A sample:

build:
  hooks:
    post_build:
      - dart run bin/migrate.dart

Reasoning

Allows to run commands post build process. An example is running migrations command which is meant to be outside of the application process.

Additional context and comments

No response

Found a workaround by using custom build command and chaining the commands:

dart_frog build && dart run bin/migrate.dart migrate

@Mastersam07 You can check for environment variable GLOBE_BUILD_ENV in your code. Value will be 1 when your code is running in the build environment. You can safely run migrations using this check.

 final isBuildEnv = Platform.environment['GLOBE_BUILD_ENV'] == '1';

  if (isBuildEnv) {
    stdout.writeln('Running in build environment, setting up DB.');

    await migrations.migrate(db);
    await db.executeBatch('INSERT INTO test_data(data) values(?)', [
      ['Test1'],
      ['Test2']
    ]);
  }

Thanks. This makes sense also as i didn't want to run migrations as part of the application process.
