[FEATURE] Configurable output folder

[100terres]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We are configuring reassure in a monorepo containing many packages. We configured it in multiple packages. Each package has its own particularities and jest configuration, meaning they each have their respective reassure command.

We run these commands from the root of our monorepo. The problem is that since there's no way to configure an output folder, each package competes with the same .reassure/ folder at the root, making it difficult to run reassure across packages.

Let's say we change a shared util and want to measure its impact across the monorepo. We can't run the baseline, make the change, and then compare because the files in the .reassure/ folder get overridden after each reassure run in the different packages.

Describe the solution you'd like

Adding an environment variable called REASSURE_OUTPUT_FOLDER that works on the cli command and the measure packages.

The cli change might be as simple as changing a few lines here:

reassure/packages/cli/src/constants.ts

Lines 1 to 3 in 672af33

	export const RESULTS_DIRECTORY = '.reassure';
	export const RESULTS_FILE = '.reassure/current.perf';
	export const BASELINE_FILE = '.reassure/baseline.perf';

to something like

 export const RESULTS_DIRECTORY = process.env.REASSURE_OUTPUT_FOLDER || '.reassure'; 
 export const RESULTS_FILE = `${RESULTS_DIRECTORY}/current.perf`; 
 export const BASELINE_FILE = `${RESULTS_DIRECTORY}/baseline.perf`;

For the measure package, it might conflict with the REASSURE_OUTPUT_FILE environment variable, requiring more refactoring.

reassure/packages/measure/src/config.ts

Line 18 in 672af33

outputFile: process.env.REASSURE_OUTPUT_FILE ?? '.reassure/current.perf',

Describe alternatives you've considered

We could also double down on the REASSURE_OUTPUT_FILE environment variable and make it work with the cli package.

Additional context

Such a configuration would allow us to set up a different output folder per package in our monorepo.

There might already be a way of doing this, but I couldn't find it. Let me know what you think and how I can help. I can even make a pull request if needed.

@100terres could you submit PR for this?

[100terres]

@mdjastrzebski I can definitely look into it! Do you have a preferred way of approaching this?

[mdjastrzebski]

The way you described in the issue (env variable) seems fine: REASSURE_OUTPUT_DIR
