How to use `npm.static` config

Description

I would like fonts from an npm package to be copied over to my public directory. there is an npm.static configuration option in https://github.com/brunch/brunch/blob/master/docs/config.md but there’s hardly anything about it and I could not figure out how to use it at all.

could I get an example how to go about using this / maybe put that explanation in the documentation as well?

NB npm.static values must start with node_modules/, not just the module name.

I thought npm.assets would copy over any files too. Thanks for clarifying. I think the docs should be updated to say the option is all/only about JavaScript.

Incidentally, I was also trying to use fonts from an npm package. I added the following at the bottom of my brunch-config.js. Seems to be working so far.

const recurFs = require('recur-fs') // npm install recur-fs

recurFs.cp(
  'node_modules/font-awesome/fonts/',
  'public/font-awesome',
  false, // Don’t overwrite.
  (error) => {
    if (error) {
      console.error('Failed to copy font-awesome fonts', error)
    }
  }
)

(In case somebody searches for “font-awesome” and ends up here: I also use the following:

$fa-font-path: 'font-awesome';

@import 'node_modules/font-awesome/scss/font-awesome';

)
