|
14 | ### Usage
|
15 |
|
16 | ```bash
|
17 | git clone https://github.com/alexjoverm/typescript-library-starter.git YOURFOLDERNAME
|
18 | cd YOURFOLDERNAME
|
19 |
|
20 | # Run npm install and write your library name when asked. That's all!
|
21 | npm install
|
22 | ```
|
23 |
|
24 | **Start coding!** `package.json` and entry files are already set up for you, so don't worry about linking to your main file, typings, etc. Just keep those files with the same name.
|
25 |
|
26 | ### Features
|
27 |
|
28 | - Zero-setup. After running `npm install` things will setup for you :wink:
|
29 | - **[RollupJS](https://rollupjs.org/)** for multiple optimized bundles following the [standard convention](http://2ality.com/2017/04/setting-up-multi-platform-packages.html) and [Tree-shaking](https://alexjoverm.github.io/2017/03/06/Tree-shaking-with-Webpack-2-TypeScript-and-Babel/)
|
30 | - Tests, coverage and interactive watch mode using **[Jest](http://facebook.github.io/jest/)**
|
31 | - **[Prettier](https://github.com/prettier/prettier)** and **[TSLint](https://palantir.github.io/tslint/)** for code formatting and consistency
|
32 | - **Docs automatic generation and deployment** to `gh-pages`, using **[TypeDoc](http://typedoc.org/)**
|
33 | - Automatic types `(*.d.ts)` file generation
|
34 | - **[Travis](https://travis-ci.org)** integration and **[Coveralls](https://coveralls.io/)** report
|
35 | - (Optional) **Automatic releases and changelog**, using [Semantic release](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release), [Commitizen](https://github.com/commitizen/cz-cli), [Conventional changelog](https://github.com/conventional-changelog/conventional-changelog) and [Husky](https://github.com/typicode/husky) (for the git hooks)
|
36 |
|
37 | ### Importing library
|
38 |
|
39 | You can import the generated bundle to use the whole library generated by this starter:
|
40 |
|
41 | ```javascript
|
42 | import myLib from 'mylib'
|
43 | ```
|
44 |
|
45 | Additionally, you can import the transpiled modules from `dist/lib` in case you have a modular library:
|
46 |
|
47 | ```javascript
|
48 | import something from 'mylib/dist/lib/something'
|
49 | ```
|
50 |
|
51 | ### NPM scripts
|
52 |
|
53 | - `npm t`: Run test suite
|
54 | - `npm start`: Run `npm run build` in watch mode
|
55 | - `npm run test:watch`: Run test suite in [interactive watch mode](http://facebook.github.io/jest/docs/cli.html#watch)
|
56 | - `npm run test:prod`: Run linting and generate coverage
|
57 | - `npm run build`: Generate bundles and typings, create docs
|
58 | - `npm run lint`: Lints code
|
59 | - `npm run commit`: Commit using conventional commit style ([husky](https://github.com/typicode/husky) will tell you to use it if you haven't :wink:)
|
60 |
|
61 | ### Excluding peerDependencies
|
62 |
|
63 | On library development, one might want to set some peer dependencies, and thus remove those from the final bundle. You can see in [Rollup docs](https://rollupjs.org/#peer-dependencies) how to do that.
|
64 |
|
65 | Good news: the setup is here for you, you must only include the dependency name in `external` property within `rollup.config.js`. For example, if you want to exclude `lodash`, just write there `external: ['lodash']`.
|
66 |
|
67 | ### Automatic releases
|
68 |
|
69 | _**Prerequisites**: you need to create/login accounts and add your project to:_
|
70 | - [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)
|
71 | - [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org)
|
72 | - [Coveralls](https://coveralls.io)
|
73 |
|
74 | _**Prerequisite for Windows**: Semantic-release uses
|
75 | **[node-gyp](https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp)** so you will need to
|
76 | install
|
77 | [Microsoft's windows-build-tools](https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools)
|
78 | using this command:_
|
79 |
|
80 | ```bash
|
81 | npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
|
82 | ```
|
83 |
|
84 | #### Setup steps
|
85 |
|
86 | Follow the console instructions to install semantic release and run it (answer NO to "Do you want a `.travis.yml` file with semantic-release setup?").
|
87 |
|
88 | _Note: make sure you've setup `repository.url` in your `package.json` file_
|
89 |
|
90 | ```bash
|
91 | npm install -g semantic-release-cli
|
92 | semantic-release-cli setup
|
93 | # IMPORTANT!! Answer NO to "Do you want a `.travis.yml` file with semantic-release setup?" question. It is already prepared for you :P
|
94 | ```
|
95 |
|
96 | From now on, you'll need to use `npm run commit`, which is a convenient way to create conventional commits.
|
97 |
|
98 | Automatic releases are possible thanks to [semantic release](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release), which publishes your code automatically on [github](https://github.com/) and [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/), plus generates automatically a changelog. This setup is highly influenced by [Kent C. Dodds course on egghead.io](https://egghead.io/courses/how-to-write-an-open-source-javascript-library)
|
99 |
|
100 | ### Git Hooks
|
101 |
|
102 | There is already set a `precommit` hook for formatting your code with Prettier :nail_care:
|
103 |
|
104 | By default, there are two disabled git hooks. They're set up when you run the `npm run semantic-release-prepare` script. They make sure:
|
105 | - You follow a [conventional commit message](https://github.com/conventional-changelog/conventional-changelog)
|
106 | - Your build is not going to fail in [Travis](https://travis-ci.org) (or your CI server), since it's runned locally before `git push`
|
107 |
|
108 | This makes more sense in combination with [automatic releases](#automatic-releases)
|
109 |
|
110 | ### FAQ
|
111 |
|
112 | #### `Array.prototype.from`, `Promise`, `Map`... is undefined?
|
113 |
|
114 | TypeScript or Babel only provides down-emits on syntactical features (`class`, `let`, `async/await`...), but not on functional features (`Array.prototype.find`, `Set`, `Promise`...), . For that, you need Polyfills, such as [`core-js`](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js) or [`babel-polyfill`](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/polyfill/) (which extends `core-js`).
|
115 |
|
116 | For a library, `core-js` plays very nicely, since you can import just the polyfills you need:
|
117 |
|
118 | ```javascript
|
119 | import "core-js/fn/array/find"
|
120 | import "core-js/fn/string/includes"
|
121 | import "core-js/fn/promise"
|
122 | ...
|
123 | ```
|
124 |
|
125 | #### What is `npm install` doing on first run?
|
126 |
|
127 | It runs the script `tools/init` which sets up everything for you. In short, it:
|
128 | - Configures RollupJS for the build, which creates the bundles
|
129 | - Configures `package.json` (typings file, main file, etc)
|
130 | - Renames main src and test files
|
131 |
|
132 | #### What if I don't want git-hooks, automatic releases or semantic-release?
|
133 |
|
134 | Then you may want to:
|
135 | - Remove `commitmsg`, `postinstall` scripts from `package.json`. That will not use those git hooks to make sure you make a conventional commit
|
136 | - Remove `npm run semantic-release` from `.travis.yml`
|
137 |
|
138 | #### What if I don't want to use coveralls or report my coverage?
|
139 |
|
140 | Remove `npm run report-coverage` from `.travis.yml`
|
141 |
