say-hi-npm

A demo NPM package to test automated releases and CI. I created it for an article I wrote on the subject.

Here's what's happening here:

It's a TypeScript function that returns "hi".
It also has a unit test to make sure it's indeed saying "hi"
The cd-pipeline action runs on every push to main and whenever you run it manually in the GitHub interface.
The ci-pipeline action runs on every pull request against the main branch to make sure tests are indeed passing

The CI Pipeline

This pipeline takes care of automating code testing and linting.

Here's how this pipeline functions:

When I push to the main branch, if there's a version bump, it tags the software with the new version and builds it
When I push to the prod branch or when I run it manually through the GitHub interface, if the version has been updated, it tags the software as latest and builds it
On a successful build, it also packages an artifact for the GitHub Release
Upon successful checking and building, if it's a versioned release, it creates a new GitHub Release. If it's a latest release, it publishes the built program to npm
