Dependencies

There are a couple of important things to be aware of at this time.

NPM Version

Github Actions will use npm version 6 for node version 14. For consistency, best to use npm version 6 when making changes locally. Target it with the following command:

npm i -g npm@6

Force Resolutions

We recently encountered a dependencies issue introduced by a breaking changes in the latest @types/react version. Basically, a dependency of material-ui v4 (react-transition-group) is now using the latest version of @types/react, which conflicts with our dependency on the previous version of react-types. Despite the breaking changes, npm is not preventing the update in the background. You can find a description of the issue on SO here and a similar one on the material-ui github here.

The latest version of npm supports an overrides property for the package.json that works similarly to yarn's resolutions. However, we're currently using npm version 6 and need to rely on an external package to achieve the same behavior.

To fix this we used npm-force-resolutions to ensure that @react/types@17 is used in sasquatch consistently. In order to build the package at release time we had to commit the package-lock.json. Until we find a way to resolve the dependency issue for @types/react changes to the lockfile will need to be committed.

If this problem occurs again, then to update with npm-force-resolution follow the steps outlined here. DON'T commit the preinstall script after the install completes. Remove it from the pacakge.json. Otherwise, it will complain about a missing package-lock.json when installing on lovepop-storefront.

"scripts": {
  "preinstall": "npx npm-force-resolutions"
}

Installation

Sasquatch is available as an npm package.

// with npm

Usage

Here is a quick example to get you started (to be updated as implemented):

import * as React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import ProductPersonalizationFlow from '@lovepop/sasquatch';

function App() {
  return (
    <ProductPersonalizationFlow
      endpoint={'https://devapi.lovepopcards.com'}
      onError={console.error}
      product={{ title: 'Example Product', image: 'https://image.url' }}
    />
  );
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.querySelector('#app'));
