Build steps

  1. npm run build:generate will generate type definitions and encode/decode functions from .proto files, and generate type definitions from json schema files, and place them in generated. It will also generate validation functions from json schema files and place that in dist.
  2. rootDirs is set in tsconfig.json so that files in src can import from generated as if the two folders were merged
  3. tsc generates .js and .d.ts from the files in src and generated and outputs to intermediate
  4. A final copy step is needed to merge intermediate/generated and intermediate/src into dist.

All of these steps can be run with npm run build

Publishing to npm

Please publish to npm via Github using the release workflow, rather than publishing from your local machine. This ensures that the artifacts are built and release notes are generated.

1. Prepare a release

  • Navigate to the release action workflow and click the "Run workflow" dropdown.
  • Select the semver release, e.g. "patch" for bug fixes, "minor" for new features, and "major" for breaking changes. For pre-release see below
  • Click "Run workflow" button.

This will open a new Pull Request with a draft release

2. Review and publish the release

  • Look for the new PR created by step 1 (above)
  • Review the changes — check the version number is correct and the npm tag is correct — and merge the PR
  • Release will be automatically published to npm when you merge the PR
  • If something is incorrect just close the PR and the release will be cancelled

Prereleases

Prereleases are useful for testing new versions of this package without affecting existing dependent packages. Ideally work on a pre-release should be on a separate branch, e.g. create a next branch from master.

To prepare the release, select "Run workflow" on the release action workflow as above, but select the branch next (or whatever branch you are using for prerelease development) for "Use workflow from", and for the "semver to use" option, select:

  • prepatch to create a new patch prerelease, e.g. if the current version is v3.0.0, then this will generate a new release v3.0.1-next.0.
  • preminor to create a new minor prerelease, e.g. if the current version is v3.0.0 then this will generate a new release v3.1.0-next.0.
  • premajor to create a new major prerelease, e.g. if the current version is v3.0.0 then this will generate a new release v4.0.0-next.0.
  • prelease to bump the prerelease version if the current version on the branch that you target is already a prerelease and you want to create a new prerelease, e.g. if the current version on the target branch is v3.0.1-next.0 then this will generate a new release v3.0.1-next.1.

The pre-releases will be published to npm with the next dist-tag. Publishing a pre-release will not change the latest tag, so that normal installs of npm install @comapeo/schema will not get the pre-release. To install the pre-release for testing, use npm install @comapeo/schema@latest.

To publish a latest release from a pre-release, first merge the pre-release branch to master, then follow the usual "Prepare a release" steps from above, but select auto for the "semver to use" option. If you have a prerelease version v3.0.1-next.3 then this will publish a release called v3.0.1.
