Happy

Happy simplifies your day-to-day git workflow:

$ happy
$ happy "Move the dates to ISO 8601"

happy analyzes your project to find the appropriate npm scripts to run and then commits and deploys those changes with git.

What it does

It makes sure your project is ready to deploy, and then deploy it. For this, these are the steps:

• "Building project": run npm run build if the "build" script is found in your package.json.
• "Linting": run npm run lint if the "lint" script is found in the project package.json.
• "Testing project": run npm test if the "test" script is found in the project package.json.
• "Saving changes": add all of the files with git, equivalent to git add . && git commit -m "Saved on $TIME". Provide a message for a custom git message.
• "Downloading latest": git pull
• "Uploading changes": git push
• "Publish to npm": only if the --publish flag is passed, publish it to npm.

Building project

Run the npm run build script if this script is found in your package.json configuration. Example:

{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "rollup -c"
  }
}

This step will be skipped if:

• The script "build" is not found in the project package.json.
• The flag --now was passed.

Linting

Run the npm run lint script if this script is found in your package.json configuration. Example:

{
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "eslint"
  }
}

This step will be skipped if:

• The script "lint" is not found in the project package.json.
• The flag --now was passed.

Testing project

Run the npm test script if this script is found in your package.json configuration. Example:

{
  "scripts": {
    "test": "jest"
  }
}

The test script will also set the environment variable CI=true to avoid some common issues.

This step will be skipped if:

• The script "test" is not found in the project package.json.
• The flag --now was passed.

Saving Changes

This is the equivalent of adding and commiting the changed files to Git. The message for the commit is the string that you pass:

happy "Added that new cool feature"

When no string is provided, it will save the changes with a generic commit with the current timestamp like:

Saved on 2020-08-13T10:20:00Z

This step will be skipped if:

• There are no changes to add or commit.
• The changes were already commited.

Downloading latest

Try to pull the latest changes from the remote repo to combine them locally. It will exit if there's a problem with the merge so that you can merge it manually.

This step might take longer than the others since it talks to your git server.

This step will be skipped if:

• There were no changes in the remote repo (you are up to date).

This step will throw an error if:

• The origin is not set.

TODO: ask/fix the origin if it's not set

Uploading changes

Take all of your changes and upload them to the origin that is set in your project. This is specially useful when combined with e.g. Heroku, and you set heroku as the origin, since it will also deploy the full website.

This step takes longer than the others since it's talking to your git server.

This step will be skipped if:

• There were no changes in the local repo.

Publish to npm

You need to have the library np installed for this, please do npm i np -g

Add a --publish VERSION flag to publish the current package to npm with np:

happy --publish patch
happy --publish minor
happy --publish major

happy --publish 5.0.0

As an alias, you can do with just --patch, --minor or --major instead:

happy --patch
happy --minor
happy --major

happy --publish 5.0.0
