specify build directory

See original GitHub issue

❔ Question

How do you specify the build directory in parcel 2? I have looked all over and can’t find the API for this. Is it only possible through some naming plugin or something? I was hoping for at least --out-dir with the cli.

Love this tool, and thanks in advance for any feedback!

🔦 Context

I’d like to put my built files in a sub directory, like public. That’s all.

💻 Code Sample

Currently running parcel build src/index.html on a very minimal React app (only index.html and index.js, no other assets included, no other plugins running).

🌍 Your Environment

Software Version(s)
Parcel 2.0.0-alpha.1.1
Node 10.15.3
npm/Yarn 6.11.3
Operating System MacOS Mojave
