Project Status

This project is under active development and not yet stable. We welcome bug reports and new ideas, but are not prepared to review or accept major contributions at this time.

Reporting Security Issues

If you believe you have found a security issue, please responsibly disclose via the process in our Security Policy.

Getting started (development)

1. Install the development version of node.

   If you use nvm to manage node versions, you can run:

   nvm use

   Otherwise, manually install the version of node specified in .nvmrc.

2. Install the dependencies required by this project (from within this directory):

   npm install

   Re-run this command any time the dependencies listed in package.json change, such as after checking out a different revision or pulling changes.

3. To run a local server for development purposes (from the repo root):

   npm run examples

   This will start a server on http://localhost:5173.

4. To run the unit test suite (headless Chrome using playwright), run:

   npm test or npm run test-with-coverage to generate a coverage report.

   By default, the test runner will watch for changes to the source files and re-run the tests automatically, so you can leave it running while you work. To run the tests once and exit, use npm run test -- --run.

5. See package.json for other available commands.

Release

We maintain the @idetik/core package on npm.

Automatic Release Process (Recommended)

We use semantic-release to automatically handle versioning, changelog generation, npm publishing, and GitHub releases.

How It Works

1. Use Conventional Commits: When creating PRs, ensure your PR title follows the Conventional Commits format:

   • feat: add new feature → triggers a minor version bump (e.g., 7.0.0 → 7.1.0)
   • fix: resolve bug → triggers a patch version bump (e.g., 7.0.0 → 7.0.1)
   • feat!: breaking change or BREAKING CHANGE: in commit footer → triggers a major version bump (e.g., 7.0.0 → 8.0.0)
   • refactor:, perf:, chore: → triggers a patch version bump
   • docs:, style:, test:, ci:, build: → no release

2. PR Title Validation: Our CI automatically validates PR titles to ensure they follow the conventional commit format.

3. Merge to Main: When your PR is merged to main, the release workflow automatically:

   • Analyzes commits since the last release
   • Determines the version bump
   • Updates the version in package.json
   • Generates/updates CHANGELOG.md
   • Publishes to npm as @idetik/core
   • Creates a GitHub release with release notes
   • Tags the release (e.g., v7.1.0)

4. No Manual Intervention Required: The entire process is automatic once merged to main.

Pre-requirements

• For GH Actions:
  • Set up "trusted publishing" for the repo/package pair on npm (uses OIDC to authenticate when publishing)
  • Use actions/create-github-app-token to generate a GH token so semantic-release can comment on the PR after release
• For manual releases:
  • Set NPM_TOKEN env var with an npm token with publish access to @idetik scope
  • You must be a member of the idetik developer team on NPM

Manual Release Process (Fallback)

If you need to manually release (e.g., if the automated process fails), follow these steps:

1. Bump the version:

   git switch -c your-name/prerelease-X-Y-Z
   npm version [major|minor|patch]  # Choose appropriate bump
   npm install  # Updates package-lock.json
   npm run build

2. Create and merge PR:

   • Create a PR with your changes
   • Get it approved and merge to main

3. Publish to npm:

   git checkout main
   git pull
   npm login
   npm run pub

4. Tag the release:

   git tag vX.Y.Z  # Use the version number from package.json
   git push origin --tags

5. Create GitHub release:

   • Go to the Releases page
   • Click "Create a new release"
   • Select the tag you just created
   • Add release notes describing the changes
