isString package

Is the string a string?

const isString = require('isstring')

console.log('isString', isString(3))
console.log('isString', isString([3]))
console.log('isString', isString('test'))

How was this package created?

1. Created the isString project on Github as an empty repo for the tollbros Github org.
2. Locally created a packages directory.
3. Checked out the isString repo in the packages directory.
4. Within the packages/isString directory, run npm init --scope=tollbrothers and chose all the defaults.
5. Created the index.js file in packages/isString, this matches the default package.json (see main key).

How was this package tested locally?

1. Within the packages/isString directory, run npm link. This created the package-lock.json file.
2. Went back to the packages directory and created a isStringTEST directory.
3. Created the script.js file in packages/isStringTEST.
4. Within the packages/isStringTEST directory, run npm link isstring. This linked the isString package to the test script.
5. Run the script via node script.js

How do we publish changes?

1. Publishing has been automated by the Semantic Release Workflow

Semantic Release Workflow

Basically, follow the commit message format below. Then when the commit is posted on the main branch semantic-release will do its thing and publish a new version on merge to main or a direct commit to main.

• Commit message format
• How does it work?

Things to consider

• You can publish code without commiting it. Not sure why you would but there are no guards to prevent you from doing so.
• On github, the org is tollbros
• On npm, the org is tollbrothers
