[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/handbrake-static.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/js/handbrake-static)

handbrake-static provides cross-platform [HandBrake CLI](https://handbrake.fr/) binaries in your Electron application.

## Installation

```sh

 npm i handbrake-static --save

```

## Usage

```js

// points to app.asar.unpacked

const handbrakePath = require("handbrake-static").path;

// points to node_modules

const handbrakeDevPath = require("handbrake-static").devPath;

console.log(handbrakePath, handbrakeDevPath);

```

Don't forget to expose the binaries in your production build! Use electron-builder's [extraFiles configuration attribute](https://www.electron.build/configuration/contents).

```json

"extraFiles": {

  "from": "node_modules/handbrake-static/bin/mac/x64/HandBrakeCLI",

  "to":

  "./resources/app.asar.unpacked/handbrake-static/bin/mac/x64/HandBrakeCLI",

}

```

A more general example of using the HandBrake CLI binary in your project (which isn't the scope of this package 🤷‍♂️) -

```js

const handbrakePath = require("handbrake-static").path;

const util = require("util");

const cp = require("child_process");

function execHandbrake(inputPath, outputPath, done) {

  const cmd = util.format(

    '"%s" %s',

    handbrakePath,

    `-i ${inputPath}`,

    `-o ${outputPath}`,

    "-e x264",

    "--encoder-preset veryfast",

    "-q 17"

  );

  cp.exec(cmd, done);

}

```
