Advanced tools
This is a personal study on the necessary steps to create, publish and consume a npm package. I am following this nice tutorial from Joanne at medium.com.
This package exports Joanne's implementation of a function to add commas to numbers.
npm install gerardolima-number-formatter
var numFormatter = require('gerardolima-number-formatter');
var formattedNum = numFormatter(35666);
Output should be 35,666
Currenly this repository package only relies on npm scripts.
npm run clean
npm run build
Currenntly, these scripts need to run on bash, so that the continuous integration and the coverage tests run properly. To run them on windows, you need to create an evironment variable to inform npm to use bash, instead of the standard command interpreter (more information here).
export "comspec=C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe"
I am intending to use Gulp to avoid these kind of system specifities.
