NPM Workflows
The /packages
directory contains a number of NPM packages that are part of the core functionality of the project. These packages are listed under the WebDevStudios organization.
Testing Locally
Instead of publishing a new release every time you make changes, use npm link
to create a symlink to the package on your local. This allows you to test your changes without having to publish a release before it's ready.
It's a two step process. First, you create a symlink to the latest version of the package:
cd packages/headless-core
npm link
Second, use the symlink in another project:
cd examples/basic
npm link @webdevstudios/headless-core
Finally, you can install the package and test:
npm i @webdevstudios/headless-core
After your testing checks out, you can safely publish to NPM. Learn more about NPM link.
Publishing to NPM
Log into NPM
Before logging in, you must have an account on npmjs.com and be part of the WebDevStudios organization.
npm adduser
Follow the prompts and enter your username, password, and two-factor authentication code (if enabled). Learn more about NPM adduser.
Bump the version
Open the package.json
file and bump the version
number. For example, if the current version is 1.0.0-main.1
, then the next version will be 1.0.0-main.2
.
Publish a Release
If you're publishing a stable release:
npm publish --tag=latest --access=public
If you're publishing a prerelease:
npm publish --tag=next --access=public
Unpublish a Release
If something goes wrong with the release, you can unpublish it. For example, if 1.0.0-main.2
is not working the following will remove it from NPM's registry:
npm unpublish @webdevstudios/headless-core@1.0.0-main.2
