Matchbox uses Lerna to manage packages.

First install lerna globally, then run the following commands to get started:

npm i -g lerna
git clone git@github.com:SparkPost/matchbox.git
cd matchbox
npm i
lerna bootstrap

Releases

Our release process isn't perfect, and requires some manual work.

We use lerna to handle versioning and publishing to NPM. Before publishing, ensure you are logged into SparkPost's NPM account locally via the NPM CLI. Reach out to #UXFE or #design-guild on Slack if you need access.

Publishing Steps

  1. Merge all pull requests you wish to release to main.
  2. Before publishing for the first time, set up your github auth token in .env. In order to run changelog you'll need to create a personal access token with the public_repo permissions and copy it to a GITHUB_AUTH variable in an .env file.
  3. On the main branch, run npm run changelog. This generates a markdown changelog in CHANGELOG.md.
  4. Open and edit CHANGELOG.md with correct title and version number of your release.
  5. Push these changes to main if you have permissions, or on a new branch.
  6. Run lerna version --force-publish. The Lerna CLI will prompt you for version numbers. The force-publish flag will force all packages to be bumped to the same version. See https://github.com/lerna/lerna/tree/master/commands/version.
  7. Run lerna publish from-package. The Lerna CLI will prompt you for a one time password from your authenticator. See https://github.com/lerna/lerna/tree/master/commands/publish.

What the commands look like:

npm run changelog
# Open the changelog file and edit
git add CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m "Update CHANGELOG.md"
git push
lerna version --force-publish
lerna publish from-package
# That's it!
