ember-cli-mgmco-common

Our Ember CLI Add-on for our common things

We have quite some overlap in our files of our ember apps. The API is the same but the Ember apps are not. This add-on helps us to DRY too much.

Installation

• npm install ember-cli-mgmco-common --dev

Updating apps using this addon

• Update package.json to have the new npm version number
• Run npm install && git add package.json package-lock.json && git commit -m "Update common to version x.x.x to REASON" (Update the reason)

Developing

• Clone and navigate to the ember-cli-mgmco-common folder
• Run npm link to link the addon locally to npm
• Run npm start
• Navigate to the parent app (frontend, admin, ...) folder
• Change ember-cli-mgmco-common version in package.json to *
• Run npm link ember-cli-mgmco-common to link the addon locally to npm
• Now they both live reload on changes, pretty cool!

Deploying

• Make sure your PR is merged and pull the master-branch to your machine
• Update the version by running npm version patch -m "Upgrade to %s to REASON" (Update the reason)
• A git commit is automatically created, push it to GitHub
• Run npm publish (credentials are known by the developers)
• Push to GitHub as well git push origin --follow-tags
