@guardian/automat-client
Advanced tools
A basic (JS) client for Automat. If you are reading this and don't know what Automat is, this library is probably not useful for you.
$ yarn dev
With yarn link
you can develop against a locally checked out version of
this client:
In your local checkout of automat-client
:
$ yarn link
And then in the project consuming the client:
$ yarn link "@guardian/automat-client"
To revert back to using the published version of the package:
$ yarn unlink "@guardian/automat-client"
$ yarn install --force
NOTE: Ensure you build this library before adding it locally to your project, by running yarn build
.
On your feature branch, increment the version in the package.json
file.
Once we hit version 1 we should use semver when doing this.
Once the feature branch is merged into master, run:
yarn publishToNPM
This will build and then publish to NPM.
You should then push your (updated) master to origin.
You can then update the clients!
Note: you'll need to be part of the @guardian org on npm to do this.
Speak to a suitable person if you don't have access.
