Rell Module Manager

Installlation

The Rell module manager is available as a NPM tool.

npm install -g rell-module-manager

Once you have it installed, see rmm --help for available commands.

Downloading modules

Modules are defined in a manifest.json file located in the rell directory. The tool looks inside that file to figure out which modules to download into rell/src/rell_modules directory.

Example of manifest.json:

{
  "name": "my-dapp",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "dependencies": [
    "my-module:0.0.1
  ]
}

If you don't have a manifest.json yet, then you can initialize one by running rmm init.

Publish a module

To publish a library you need to declare a manifest.json in the module directory rell/src/my_module/manifest.json.

The manifest.json file should look like the following:

{
  "name": "my_module",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "dependencies": []
}

If you don't have a manifest.json you can easy create one by running rmm init.

It is important that the name mathces with the directory that you are standing in, the module directory.

Contact me on telegram @snieking and ask for a publishing key for your module.

To create a release run rmm publish --signer <PRIVATE_KEY>.
