@nuxtjs/opencollective

What is @nuxtjs/opencollective?

The @nuxtjs/opencollective npm package is designed to encourage users of an open-source project to contribute to its collective fund. It displays a post-install message in the terminal, prompting users to donate to the project's Open Collective. This helps maintainers to sustain their work on the project by raising funds from users who find the project valuable.

What are @nuxtjs/opencollective's main functionalities?

Post-install donation prompt

Displays a message after `npm install` is run, encouraging users to support the project on Open Collective.

const { showPostInstallMessage } = require('@nuxtjs/opencollective');

// This function is typically called in a postinstall script in package.json

📖 Release Notes

Features

Displaying opencollective statistics and a donation URL after users install a package is important for many creators. After problems with current packages that offer similar features, we decided to spin off our one own. Our key goals are:

• No interference/problems when installing packages. Never break installation because of the package
• Pretty output for all information
• Decent configurability
• Seamless drop-in for common solutions

Setup

• Add @nuxt/opencollective dependency using yarn or npm to your project
• Add the script to postinstall in your package.json

{
  // ...
  "scripts": {
    "postinstall": "opencollective || exit 0"
  },
  "collective": {
    "url": "https://opencollective.com/nuxtjs"
  }
  // ...
}

• Configure it

Configuration

Configuration is applied through your project's package.json.

A full configuration looks like:

{
  "collective": {
    "url": "https://opencollective.com/nuxtjs",
    "logoUrl": "https://opencollective.com/nuxtjs/logo.txt?reverse=true&variant=variant2",
    "donation": {

Disable message

We know the postinstall messages can be annoying when deploying in production or running a CI pipeline. That's why the message is disabled in those environments by default.

Enabled when one the following environment variables is set:

• NODE_ENV=dev
• NODE_ENV=development
• OPENCOLLECTIVE_FORCE

Strictly Disabled when one the following environment variables is set:

• OC_POSTINSTALL_TEST
• OPENCOLLECTIVE_HIDE
• CI
• CONTINUOUS_INTEGRATION
• NODE_ENV (set and not dev or development)
• DISABLE_OPENCOLLECTIVE (set to any string value that is not 'false' or '0', for compatability with opencollective-postinatall)

Development

• Clone this repository
• Install dependencies using yarn install or npm install
• Run it manually path/to/project/root/src/index.js path/to/package/you/want/to/try
• Run tests with npm t or yarn test
