API

Build

• Build the Sidecar library: npm run build, output: ./dist/sidecar.js
• Build Sidecar module/package: npm run build-module, output: ./dist/sidecar-module.js

Dev

Same as devbuild but also watches the directory and rebuilds on any file changes

npm run devbuild

Build Microsite

npm run build-microsite

Dev

This is currently a work in progress. But I hope to have react-hot-loader and webpack-dev-server working for this:

npm run devbuild-microsite

Deploy: Push Release

We have CircleCI setup, the config is in circle.yml.

To push a new version of the sidecar script, run the following:

• npm version patch: bump version and tag it
• git push --tags: Trigger CircleCI build

To push a new release of microsite, just push to the master branch

Manual Deployment

You'll need AWS credentials exported as AWS_KEY and AWS_SECRET. This command is not meant to be run locally, only by the CircleCI deployment step (on every tag).

npm run deploy

Testing

npm test

We use git-flow. Merge requests should be made against develop not master.
