dojo-scripts

A package of scripts to aid with Dojo package development.

Features

Building

You can build your project using the regular tsc command. Some tsconfig.json templates are provided to make configuration eaasier.

TSConfig File	Description
tsconfig/base.json	Provides common tsconfig settings.
tsconfig/umd.json	Overrides the base config and provides UMD module compilation.
tsconfig/esm.json	Overrides the base config and provides ESM module compilation.
tsconfig/commonjs.json	Overrides the base config and provides CommonJS module compilation.

In your local project, you would extend one of these configs. For example to use UMD modules, your tsconfig.json would look like this:

{
  "extends": "./node_modules/@dojo/scripts/tsconfig/umd.json"
}

To further enable ESM modules, create a tsconfig.esm.json with the following:

{
  "extends": "./node_modules/@dojo/scripts/tsconfig/esm.json"
}

You can now use tsc to compile your code to the dist/umd and dist/esm directories.

# compile UMD
$ tsc

# compile ESM
$ tsc -p tsconfig.esm.json

Static Files

You can use other npm scripts to copy static assets into your build process. For example the copyfiles command can take .html files for your functional tests and put them in the dist/dev directory for testing.

{
  "scripts": {
    "build:static": "copyfiles \"tests/**/*.html\" dist/dev"
  }
}

Watching

It can be helpful during development to not have to rerun a full build every time you make a change. To help with this, you can use the dojo-tsc-watcher script. This script will watch one or more tsc compiles, and when they all compile successfully, will run a specified command.

For example, to repackage your dev and release directories automatically on a code change,

dojo-tsc-watcher -p tsconfig.json tsconfig.esm.json -- npm run package

By default, the watcher will not run the target script if compilation fails on one of the tsc processes. If you want run the target script regardless of if the compilation succeeded or failed, you can pass the —force flag.

Linting

This package also includes a base set of tslint rules you can use. Update your tslint.json to include,

{
  "extends": "./node_modules/@dojo/scripts/tslint/base.json"
}

You can now lint your project with,

$ tslint -p .

Packaging

The provided dojo-package script will take all of the directories in the dist directory (umd, cjs, and esm) and merge them together to create dev and release directories. When you run tests, they are run from the dev directory. Production, or release, code is stored in the release directory. The release directory will contain the files from the dev/src directory as well as a modified package.json from your project root.

Once in this format, you can easily create a .tar.gz of your package with npm pack dist/release.

Testing

Projects can extend the provided Intern configs and avoid boilerplate configuration. To use the intern config, create an intern.json in your project with the following,

{
  "extends": "./node_modules/@dojo/scripts/intern/base.json",
  "capibilities": {
    "name": "@dojo/your-project"
  }
}

In this file, you can add further configuration to override the base config (for example, custom loader configuration).

Now, with a regular intern.json you can run Intern from the command line to run your tests.

# run node unit tests
$ npx intern

# run browser unit tests
$ npx intern config=intern.json@local

See the Intern docs for more options on running Intern.

Releasing

Several scripts are provided to ease the release process.

Can Publish Checks

To check if the user is allowed to publish, run the dojo-can-publish-check script. The script will fail with a 1 exit code if the user cannot publish. The script checks that the user is logged into npm and that the user is in the maintainers list for the package.

If the package has never been published, the maintainers list will be empty and the check will always fail. Pass the --initial flag to skip the maintainers check.

Clean Repo Checks

A safe release is a clean release. To check if there are no uncommitted changes, and the user is on the correct branch for release, run thedojo-repo-is-clean-check script. The script will fail with a 1 exit code if the repo is dirty.

Release

The dojo-release script can release a dojo package. The dist/release directory is what gets released. The script takes a number of arguments:

Parameter	Default	Description
—release		The version to release
—next		The next version (package.json version gets set to this)
—dry-run	false	Shows the commands that will be run but does not run the commands
-branch	master	The branch to perform the release on
—tag	next	The tag to pass to npm publish
—initial	false	Is this the initial release? If true, the npm publish command is run with —access public

How do I use this package?

Add this package as a dependency and reference the provided scripts from npm scripts.

For example,

{
    "scripts": {
    "prepublish": "dojo-install-peer-deps",
    "lint": "tslint \"src/**/*.ts\" \"tests/**/*.ts\"",
    "test": "npm run build:umd && intern",
    "test:local": "intern config=intern.json@local",
    "test:browserstack": "intern config=intern.json@browserstack",
    "test:saucelabs": "intern config=intern.json@saucelabs",
    "build:static": "copyfiles \"tests/**/*.html\" \"src/**/*.d.ts\"",
    "build:umd": "tsc -p . && npm run build:static -- dist/umd",
    "build:esm": "tsc -p ./node_modules/@dojo/scripts/tsconfig.esm.json && npm run build:static -- dist/esm",
    "clean": "rimraf dist",
    "dist": "npm run lint && npm run clean && npm run build:umd && npm run build:esm && npm run package",
    "package": "dojo-package",
    "release": "dojo-can-publish-check && dojo-repo-is-clean-check && npm run dist && npm run package && dojo-release"
  },
}
