semantic-release

Semantic Release executable and configuration for SEAL Systems

Getting started

First, you have to install the module as a development dependency:

npm install --save-dev @sealsystems/semantic-release

Please note:

• In order to install all dependencies directly in the project's node_modules folder, you may need to delete package-lock.json before adding this package.

The following release configurations are available:

• Generic release
• Node.js module
• Node.js binary

Generic release

This configuration is used to create a release on GitHub. It updates the CHANGELOG.md, created a release tag, and publishes the release on the release page.

To create binary releases, insert the following lines into your package.json:

"release": {
  "extends": "@sealsystems/semantic-release/generic",
}

Node.js module

This configuration is used for Node.js modules. It performs the same steps as a binary release. In addition it also uploads the new release to a NPM registry.

To release a Node.js module, insert the following lines into your package.json:

"release": {
  "extends": "@sealsystems/semantic-release/node-module"
}

Node.js binary

This configuration is used for Node.js executables (e.g. services). It performs almost the same steps as a module release excapt for publishing it on NPM.

To release a Node.js binary, insert the following lines into your package.json:

"release": {
  "extends": "@sealsystems/semantic-release/node-binary"
}

Calling the release script

This module provides an NPM executable that calls semantic-release. To use it, add the following to the script section of your package.json:

"scripts": {
  "release": "release"
}

Now, your CI server can run it:

npm run release

Implementation details

Please note: If you add new JavaScript files to the root folder (or any other than the lib folder), you have to update the .npmignore template in generator-seal-node.
