How to install
Install this package as a dev dependency:
npm install --save-dev @kibibit/announce-it
How to use
Intended to run after a new release in your continues integration
Twitter Setup
You have to create a Developer Account on Twitter.
- Create an App
- From your apps list go to your app Details
- Select the
Keys and tokens
tab - You'll need all 4 variables available in that page:
- API key
- API secret key
- Access token
- Access token secret
As a command line tool
You need to pass the following parameters by either ENV parameters or calling the cli with these as cli params:
TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY
= API keyTWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET
= API secret keyTWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY
= Access tokenTWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET
= Access token secretbranch
= the current branch
As CLI params:
./node_modules/.bin/announce-it --CONSUMER_KEY <key> --CONSUMER_SECRET <secret> --ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY <key> --ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET <secret> --branch <branchName>
Both ENV parameters and the CLI arguments have the same names. If a parameter is found in both places, the CLI argument will be used.
You can add a dedicated script in your
package.json
file:// ... "scripts": { // ... "announce": "announce-it" } // ...
If executed with @semanic-release/exec:
because of a current issue with
@semantic-release/exec
, you need to pass the current branch directly"release": { "branches": [ /* ... */ ] // ... "success": [ "@semantic-release/github", [ "@semantic-release/exec", { "successCmd": "npm start -- --branch $TRAVIS_BRANCH" } ] ], } // ... // ...
If installed as a project dependency, you can run with npx:
# should be ran inside your project # npx npx announce-it # directly ./node_modules/.bin/announce-it
If installed globally, you can run it from within any node package with the correct setup
As a node module
import { KbAnnounceIt, PackageDetails } from '@kibibit/announce-it';
const announceIt = new KbAnnounceIt({
accessTokenKey: 'TWITTER_ACCESS_KEY',
accessTokenSecret: 'TWITTER_ACCESS_SECRET',
consumerKey: 'TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY',
consumerSecret: 'TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET',
branch: 'CURRENT_BRANCH'
});
const myPackage: PackageDetails = require('./package');
// get generated tweet
const tweet: string = announceIt.generateTweet(myPackage);
console.log('going to tweet: ', tweet);
// publish tweet to twitter
announceIt.announceRelease(myPackage);
Defining your Templates
Inside your package.json
file, add an announcements
object with tweet
property.
You can then create your own tweet message template that will be posted to twitter.
{
"name": "my-package",
"version": "2.4.3",
// ...
"announcements": {
"tweet": "Version <%= version %> of <%= package %> is live! <%= npmpage %>"
},
}
The tweet template is generated with Lodash template.
You can use these variables:
- Package name:
<%= package %>
- Version number:
<%= version %>
- Package description:
<%= description %>
- Package author:
<%= author %>
- Homepage link:
<%= homepage %>
- Package page on npm:
<%= npmpage %>
