ci & website

The project and documentation are built using typedoc, and delivered to the engine documentation website at https://js.m-ld.org/ using Vercel. This build includes unit testing.

work in progress

• Issues relating to this engine are logged on the Issues tab.
• Contributions are welcome! Contributed work is governed according to a CAA, the GitHub Community Guidelines, and the privacy policy.

extensions

Plug-ins such as remotes implementations in this repository are structured as:

• Directories under src
• Entries in package.json#exports like "./ext/socket.io": "./ext/socket. io/index.js"
• Dependencies in package.json#peerDependencies and marked optional in package.json#peerDependenciesMeta. Also in package.json#devDependencies for unit tests.

scripts

Scripts are run with npm.

• The build script cleans, compiles, tests and generates documentation.
• The dev script compiles and unit tests, and watches for changes (use dev+log to see console output).
• The compliance script runs spec compliance tests (long-running).
• The doc-dev script can be used after build to create a local web server watching for documentation changes.

publishing (team only)

This project uses semantic versioning. There are two main branches.

• The edge branch is for pre-releases. Docs are delivered to edge.js.m-ld.org. A merge into edge should be immediately followed by a pre-release if it affects versioned components.
• The master branch is for releases. Docs are delivered to js.m-ld.org. A merge into master should be immediately followed by a release if it affects versioned components.

Only the unit tests are included in the build. Prior to publish remember to run the compliance tests script (ticket).

npx publish.sh ≪newversion≫ (from m-ld-io-js-build) builds the project, increments the version as specified (e.g. patch), pushes the code and publishes the package. Ensure the repo is up-to-date and on master (release) or edge (pre-release).
