Publishing a release

In this guide, we'll walk through publishing for our newly merged custom Strong component to npm.

Log in

To publish to npm, you must have maintainer access to the @helpscout/hsds-react package.

Publish!

Make sure you're on the latest master branch.

Install all the dependencies by running:

npm install

Once you're ready, run the following command:

npm run release

This will kick of HSDS's automated release scripts, powered by np.

Select what kind of release you would like to do:

  • patch

  • minor

  • major

Our Strong component doesn't affect anything, and should be a non-breaking enhancement to the library. Let's select patch and hit Enter.

Once you do, np will:

  • Run the linter

  • Run all Jest tests

  • Build/bundle .js files

  • Build/bunlde .css/.js files

  • Semver bump the git Tag

  • Semver bump the version in package.json

  • Publish to npm

  • Push newest version to Github

(😻 np is amazing)

Release notes

HSDS is very transparent with it's release notes. np should have automatically created a new version on Github. Edit that version with the appropriate descriptions/screenshots.

You can follow that template to complete your release notes:

Release Title should be the release tag name

Title of the PR should start your release note, with a markdown H2 ## your PR title.

Pro Tip: If your pull request description is thorough. You can just copy/paste it as the release notes 😎.

High five

🙌 Yay! We did it. We walked throug the entire process of creating a component to publishing it on npm.

Thank you so much for sticking through this guide.

Hope you have a fantastic day ❤️!
