@hashicorp/platform-tools

A collection of tools and utilities intended for use throughout our applications. Also includes an out-of-the-box script runner which can execute arbitrary TypeScript scripts. This is useful for writing local scripts without introducing ts-node and additional configuration. Things that might live here:

• One-off scripts needed for use across applications
• Codemods

Installation & Usage

npm install @hashicorp/platform-tools

Once installed, the runner can be used to execute a packaged script, or an arbitrary script in your current working directory. Running script without any arguments will return a list of the packaged scripts:

$ npx hc-tools

Expected a script name to be passed, available scripts:
  - add-deploy-preview-script

Additional arguments beyond the script name will be passed to the executed script:

$ npx hc-tools add-deploy-preview-script waypoint

# Executes the add-deploy-preview script with the argument "waypoint"

Local scripts

hc-tools can be used to run scripts defined locally in your project, for example:

$ hc-tools ./scripts/my-script.ts

As part of this, hc-tools will also load environment variables defined in .env using the same loading strategy as Next.js.

Options

• --project [path to tsconfig] - If specified, loads the tsconfig from the specified path
• --resolve-paths [true|false] - Controls whether or not to resolve paths based on local tsconfig settings (default: true)

Included scripts

add-deploy-preview-script

$ hc-tools add-deploy-preview-script <product>

Adds a shell script in ./scripts/website-build.sh, which is used to build deploy previews from hashicorp/dev-portal within a product repository so contributors can continue to preview their docs changes.

next-build-webpack-only

$ hc-tools next-build-webpack-only

Executes next build and short-circuits the process before static generation occurs. Helpful for more performant builds if all we care about is the compilation output (for bundle analysis, for example).

capture-build-metrics

$ hc-tools capture-build-metrics <appName>

Captures the build metrics emitted by Next during the build process and sends them to Datadog. appName should be the name of the repo.
