Node js - How to create an executable with pkg

I'm trying to create an executable in my node.js project with pkg and I can create this but without css files.

So, I install pkg with npm install -g pkg, in package.json I add this:

"pkg": {
    "scripts": "public/js/*.js",
    "assets": "public/css/*.css",
    "assets": "views/**/*"
  },

It adds the js.files fine and recognizes views, except css file.

My project structure is that:


In console, I ran the command pkg . and it generates linux, macos and win executables.

How can I add my css file and image folder too?

One solution is to have pkg detect assets in the source code rather than using a config object at the package.json level.

This is documented here. Basically, if you add the line path.join(__dirname, '../path/to/asset.css'); to your source code pkg should automatically add it to the executable.
