- Zero-setup. After running
npm installthings will setup for you 😉 - RollupJS for multiple optimized bundles following the standard convention and Tree-shaking
- Tests, coverage and interactive watch mode using Jest
- Prettier and TSLint for code formatting and consistency
- Docs automatic generation and deployment to
gh-pages, using TypeDoc - Automatic types
(*.d.ts)file generation - Travis integration and Coveralls report
- (Optional) Automatic releases and changelog, using Semantic release, Commitizen, Conventional changelog and Husky (for the git hooks)
You can import the generated bundle to use the whole library generated by this starter:
import myLib from 'mylib';Additionally, you can import the transpiled modules from dist/lib in case you have a modular library:
import something from 'mylib/dist/lib/something';npm t: Run test suitenpm start: Runnpm run buildin watch modenpm run test:watch: Run test suite in interactive watch modenpm run test:prod: Run linting and generate coveragenpm run build: Generate bundles and typings, create docsnpm run lint: Lints codenpm run commit: Commit using conventional commit style (husky will tell you to use it if you haven't 😉)
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 how to do that.
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'].
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?").
Note: make sure you've setup repository.url in your package.json file
npm install -g semantic-release-cli
semantic-release-cli setup
# IMPORTANT!! Answer NO to "Do you want a `.travis.yml` file with semantic-release setup?" question. It is already prepared for you :PFrom now on, you'll need to use npm run commit, which is a convenient way to create conventional commits.
Automatic releases are possible thanks to semantic release, which publishes your code automatically on github and npm, plus generates automatically a changelog. This setup is highly influenced by Kent C. Dodds course on egghead.io
There is already set a precommit hook for formatting your code with Prettier 💅
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:
- You follow a conventional commit message
- Your build is not going to fail in Travis (or your CI server), since it's runned locally before
git push
This makes more sense in combination with automatic releases
