Getting Started:

This boilerplate including a basic code to start creating a js based library.

Start with cloning the project:

$ git clone --depth=1 git://github.com/Ziv-Barber/library-boilerplate.git your-project-name

• Remove the .git directory (rm -rf your-project-name/.git).
• Edit package.json and change the name of the project to your project name.
• The boilerplate without any changes supporting creating a library for both CommonJS, es6 modules, amd and browser. If you don't need all of this then just edit the rollup.config.js file and remove the inputs that you don't need.

Now, create a new github project and do:

$ git init
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/your-name/your-project-name.git
$ git add -A
$ npm run commit
$ git push origin master

This project is using semantic-release to automatic handling of the version of your library. To be able to automatic release a new version you must configure Travis-CI to your new project:

• Go to https://travis-ci.org/ and either signup or signin.
• Select your new project and click setting.
• You MUST configure a token or semantic-release will not be able to commit changes:
  • Create a new token (see here how to do it).
  • Permissions needed in the github token:
    • repo:
      • repo:status
      • repo_deployment
      • public_repo
    • admin:org:
      • read:org
    • admin:repo_hook:
      • write:repo_hook
    • user:
      • user:email
  • In your Travis-CI project setting, go to the environment settings section and add a new environment variable with the name 'GH_TOKEN' and the generated token as the data.
• To test everything just push something into github and it should update everything automatic!

Allow doing npm publish automatically by semantic-release:

• You need a npm token (see here) and add it as the NPM_TOKEN environment variable to Travis-CI like you did with the GH_TOKEN for github.
• Update the release section in package.json and add '@semantic-release/npm' to both 'prepare', 'publish' and 'verifyConditions'.
