Building the package

To build the package Rollup.js is used as a module bundler. The configuration can be found in the rollup.config.js file and is orchestrated by the Yarn package manager. The package bundle is formatted as commonjs and is meant to be consumed only by Node.js applications.

The build can be started with the following two commands:

yarn build for building the package.
yarn dev for building and watching the sources of the package.

Linting

The source code of this package will be linted by our CI environment. To ensure a coding standard and quality, use the configured linter tslint. This package extends from the tslint-config-airbnb and the linting configuration extends from the root tslint.json.

Testing the package

To ensure that the helpers are working, write tests and put them in a properly named file.

Note: All tests based on this package should be wrapped in a describe element with the prefix: [node-helpers] › ... like the following:

// import statements

describe('[node-helpers] › ${description of the functionality that should be tested}', () => {

});

The Jest framework has been selected for tests.
