snaps-monorepo

Monorepo for experimental snaps dependencies.

Contributing

Installing

Run yarn install in the project root directory. Do not run any installation commands in individual workspaces.

If you add a dependency with a lifecycle script, said dependency must be added to the devDependencies and lavamoat.allow-scripts config of the root package.json file. This is currently the only way to use @lavamoat/allow-scripts in monorepos.

Building

Run yarn build to build all packages in correct order. If you encounter any errors, try yarn build:clean, and if that fails, check the TypeScript configuration (see below).

You can also run yarn build in a specific package / workspace, although you have to ensure that its dependencies have been built.

Repository-wide watching is currently not possible due to the build processes of some packages.

Using packages in other projects during development/testing

When developing changes to packages within this repository that a different project depends upon, you may wish to load those changes into the project and test them locally or in CI before publishing proper releases of those packages. To solve that problem, this repository provides a mechanism to publish "preview" versions of packages to GitHub Package Registry. These versions can then be used in the project like any other version, provided the project is configured to use that registry.

As a MetaMask contributor

If you're a MetaMask contributor, you can create these preview versions via draft pull requests:

  1. Navigate to your settings within GitHub and create a classic access token. Make sure to give this token the packages:read scope.

  2. Switch to your project locally and add/edit the appropriate file with the following content, filling in the appropriate areas:

    • Yarn 1 (classic) or NPM

      Add the following in .npmrc

      @metamask:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=<your personal access token>

    • Yarn >= 2 (berry):

      Add the following in .yarnrc.yml

      npmScopes:
   metamask:
      npmAlwaysAuth: true
      npmAuthToken: ${GITHUB_NPM_TOKEN}
      npmRegistryServer: 'https://npm.pkg.github.com'

    Make sure not to commit these changes.

  3. Go to GitHub and open up a pull request for this repository, then post a comment on the PR with the text @metamaskbot publish-preview. (This triggers the publish-preview GitHub action.)

  4. After a few minutes, you will see a new comment indicating that all packages have been published with the format <package name>-<commit id>.

  5. Switch back to your project locally and update package.json by replacing the versions for the packages you've changed in your PR using the new version format (e.g. 1.2.3-e2df9b4 instead of ~1.2.3), then run GITHUB_NPM_TOKEN=your-token yarn install.

    • It's recommended to use your machine's local keychain to store the token, and receive it from there. For example on macOS, you can use: 
      GITHUB_NPM_TOKEN=$(security find-generic-password -s 'GitHub NPM Token' -w) yarn install

  6. Repeat steps 3-5 after pushing new changes to your PR to generate and use new preview versions.

As an independent contributor

If you're a contributor and you've forked this repository, you can create preview versions for a branch via provided scripts:

  1. Navigate to your settings within GitHub and create a classic access token. Make sure to give this token the packages:read scope.

  2. Switch to your project locally and add/edit the appropriate file with the following content, filling in the appropriate areas.

    • Yarn 1 (classic) or NPM:

      Add the following in .npmrc

      @<your GitHub username>:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=<your personal access token>

    • Yarn >= 2 (berry):

      Add the following in .yarnrc.yml

      npmScopes:
   <your GitHub username>:
      npmAlwaysAuth: true
      npmAuthToken: ${GITHUB_NPM_TOKEN}
      npmRegistryServer: 'https://npm.pkg.github.com'

    Make sure not to commit these changes.

  3. Open the package.json for each package that you want to publish and change the scope in the name from @metamask to @<your GitHub username>.

  4. Switch to your fork of this repository locally and run yarn prepare-preview-builds "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)" && yarn build && yarn publish-previews to generate preview versions for all packages based on the current branch and publish them to GitHub Package Registry. Take note of the version that is published; it should look like 1.2.3-e2df9b4 instead of 1.2.3.

  5. Switch back to your project and update package.json by replacing the versions for all packages you've changed using the version that was output in the previous step, then run GITHUB_NPM_TOKEN=your-token yarn install.

    • It's recommended to use your machine's local keychain to store the token, and receive it from there. For example on macOS, you can use: 
      GITHUB_NPM_TOKEN=$(security find-generic-password -s 'GitHub NPM Token' -w) yarn install

  6. If you make any new changes to your project, repeat steps 3-5 to generate and use new preview versions.

  7. As changes will have been made to this repository (due to step 4), make sure to clear out those changes after you've completed testing.

Configuring TypeScript

The TypeScript configuration of this monorepo is brittle, and requires manual maintenance. It uses TypeScript project references and composite sub-projects (i.e. monorepo package). In short, the root tsconfig.json must contain an empty files array, and references to each interdependent project with a tsconfig.json in its root directory. Meanwhile, every sub-project must explicitly declare the relative paths to its local dependencies via its references array.

If building from the monorepo root suddenly starts to fail, check if the errors are referring to monorepo packages, and verify that their tsconfig.json files are configured correctly.

Some packages do not require a tsconfig.json file. These packages must be explicitly ignored in the TypeScript config lint script. If a package is neither referenced nor ignored, linting will fail.

Testing and Linting

Run yarn test and yarn lint in the project root directory, or in a workspace.

Publishing

  1. Run Create Release Pull Request workflow
  2. Checkout the created branch.
  3. Update CHANGELOG.md in each package, moving changes to their categories and make them more descriptive.
  4. Run yarn install in root to update yarn.lock.
  5. Run yarn build in packages/examples to update snap manifests
  6. Get the PR merged, Publish Release workflow will start on main branch.
  7. After the workflow does a dry run, manually approve the deployment in Github Actions tab.

To publish locally from the monorepo root use:

yarn publish:all --otp=YOUR_NPM_OTP_CODE
