Documentation

Documentation for the CaSS Library can be found in the documentation folder:

Getting Started as a user of the library

We're assuming you're coming from the NPM / GitHub space. To see a developer guide, go to https://devs.cassproject.org/

• npm install --save cassproject

Getting Started as a contributor

The CaSS Library is a library, and as such can only be run self-contained against unit tests.

Dependencies

• git clone --recurse-submodules -b <branch> https://github.com/cassproject/cass-npm - Get the code.
• npm i - Install dependencies.

Tests

Running npm test requires Docker.

Release testing

• npm test - Runs unit tests in docker images against the CaSS 1.5 repositories using supported Node versions (18+) and Cypress against Edge, Chrome and Electron. Takes some time.

Development unit testing

Development unit tests presume you have a CaSS Repository running on localhost:80. You may get one by running docker run -d --name cass-test -p80:80 cassproject/cass:1.5.0

• npm automocha - Runs mocha unit tests against current Node environment. Will rerun unit tests on-save.
• npm mocha - Runs mocha unit tests.
• npm webpack:cypress - Runs unit tests in Cypress against Chrome (headless)
• npm webpack:cypressEdge - Runs unit tests in Cypress against Edge (headless)
• npm webpack:cypress:open - Runs unit tests in Cypress in development mode using webpack packaging. Will rerun unit tests on-save.
• npm browserify:cypress:open - Runs unit tests in Cypress in development mode using browserify packaging. Will rerun unit tests on-save.

Publish checklist

• npm upgrade --save Review dependencies, autocomplete version numbers to latest versions.
• Increment version number using npm version --no-git-tag-version <patch|minor|major>. This automatically updates package.json and yuidoc.json.
• Update changelog using npm run changelog, and review the changes in CHANGELOG.md.
• npm install
• npm audit and fix any audit issues. Stop if npm audit --omit=dev has findings.
• Update CaSS server version if necessary in package.json
• npm test - Must not fail any tests.
• npm run webpack:cypressFirefoxHttps See if the firefox test case has changed.
• Document code coverage output by the previous step.
• Commit changes to GitHub.
• Tag release with semantic version from package.json, push tag.
• npm publish (must be npm logined)
