Support Request - Variable for Mod Name

[ChemBoy1]

I am attempting to write an installer function for one of my Vortex extensions, and I need to know what is the correct variable name to use for a mod's name so that I can create a folder with that name to set the install location. 

 

Basically, what should be the "VARIABLE" in the function below to pass the name of the mod into the function and create a folder above the mod file with that mod name. Note that I cannot use "rootPath" in this case as there is no directory above the mod file. I have tried things like "modName", "archiveName", and "modId" but these cause errors. 

 

function installChairMod(files, VARIABLE) { // <--pass variable into function here
  const modFile = files.find(file => path.basename(file).toLocaleLowerCase() === CHAIRMOD_FILE);
  const idx = modFile.indexOf(path.basename(modFile));
  const rootPath = path.dirname(modFile);
  const setModTypeInstruction = { type: 'setmodtype', value: CHAIRMOD_ID};

  const filtered = files.filter(file =>
    ((file.indexOf(rootPath) !== -1) &&
      (!file.endsWith(path.sep))));

  const instructions = filtered.map(file => {
    return {
      type: 'copy',
      source: file,
      destination: path.join(VARIABLE, file.substr(idx)), // <-- Need to add folder with the name of the mod here
    };
  });
  instructions.push(setModTypeInstruction);

  return Promise.resolve({ instructions });
}

Hey @ChemBoy1

Can you post in #vortex-dev on the Discord please and provide a bit more context on what code is calling this function. You can pass in anything you like to the function but we need a bit more info.

Thanks

Is this what you need?

The destinationPath can be converted to the archive name (e.g. path.basename(destinationPath))

That's exactly what I needed. Thank you!
