Install

npm install -g generator-typescript-package

Use

Create a directory for the new package, cd inside and generate the package skeleton with

yo typescript-package [--lerna] [--bin]
git commit -m 'Initial commit'

Finally, address each TODO: statement in the generated project.

Options

lerna

default: false

Generate a package in a lerna mono-repo. This package is expected to be built with TypeScript 3.0's build mode.

bin

default: false

Define an executable file under the bin section in the package.json.

Test

Test the generated package

npm test

Integrations

Continuous Integration

GitHub actions runs the .github/workflows/ci.yml action on every pull-request against the master, alpha, or beta branch.

To configure this behavior, customize the invoked npm run-scripts or the GitHub action itself.

Continuous Delivery

GitHub actions runs the .github/workflows/release.yml action on every push to the master, alpha, or beta branch.

This action uses the semantic-release GitHub action to create a new release and publish to npm, which requires the NPM_TOKEN Secret Variable.

Note that pushes to the alpha and beta branch create prereleases.
