New Module Starter

Node.js CI Coverage Status

This repo is for reference when creating a new node module/application in the nodeshift org.

Minimum requirements

Commit Messages

We have been trying to adhere to conventional commits, https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/, which helps when creating our changelogs and releases.

We also try to stay away from merge commits to keep the git history clean.

npm >= 7

npm install standard-version -D
npm set-script release "standard-version"

npm < 7

npm install standard-version -D

Add to package.json

 "scripts": {
    "release": "standard-version",

We can run this with --dry-run option to see the results, for example:

$ npm run release -- --dry-run

> [email protected] release /home/lm/code/npcheck
> standard-version "--dry-run"
