shenanigans-manager

shenanigans-manager

Manages locally installed FullScreenShenanigans modules for development.

shenanigans-manager is a development dependency of all FullScreenShenanigans modules. It sets up files that are kept standard across the repositories, such as GitHub templates, README.mds, and test infrastructure.

It can also be used as a CLI while developing those modules locally.

CLI

npm install -g shenanigans-manager

shenanigans-manager --help

The shenanigans-manager CLI provides commands that are often useful for developing multiple modules. The full list of commands is in src/Commands; the common ones are:

• generate-tests: Creates test setup and HTML files for a repository to allow it to run unit tests, which necessitates reading for all .test.ts? files in its src/ directory.
  • If --watch is provided, it'll stay in a watcher mode and continuously recreate those files whenever they're changed on disk.
• hydrate: Creates the shared file segments common to all EightBittr monorepo packages:
  • hydrate-package-json: Copies a few common portions of package.json, including its scripts.
  • hydrate-readme: Copies the top and bottom portions of README.md.
• link-packages: Runs yarn link for each package in this monorepo.
• publish-if-updated: Runs npm publish if and only if a package's version is different from the newest published version in the npm registry.

Package Settings

Modules should declare a "shenanigans" section in their package.json. It may contain the following keys, out of which only name is required:

• name: PascalCase name of the package, such as "EightBittr".
• dist: Whether the package should also include a dist command that generates a Webpack-bundled dist/ directory.
• game: Whether the package's code should be structured as a game inheriting from EightBittr.
• external: Whether the package is a standalone repository outside of the EightBittr monorepo.
• loading: Settings for how to prepare the package for browser usage.
  • entries: Any additional Webpack entry points for creating output files.
  • externals: Non-EightBittr dependencies this will need to load before running.
• mode: Either an "external" package that exists on its own or an "internal" member of this monorepo.
• web: Whether to create a lib/index.html file to view the package as an EightBittr game.
