A collection of useful odds and ends. Many of these come from stack overflow, but I'm tired of looking them up and adding TypeScript annotations each time I need them.
Version 1.4.0 includes one serious bug fix, several small improvements, and a lot of new features.
This is a collection of items that I've been copying from one project to another.
polarToRectangular() was giving completely incorrect results.
I need to find the projects that used bad version, so I don't break them with this upgrade.
- Miscellaneous (Browser only.)
- Miscellaneous (Works with node.js and in the browser.)
- Support for the TCL programming language
Manually bump the package version number in package.json. Then run npm update to copy that version number into package-lock.json.
Then type:
npx tsc
npx typedoc *.ts
git add .
git commit
git push
npm publish
You might have to publish to GitHub then update the documentation one more time then publish that final result to GitHub.
That will make sure that the pointers from the documentation back to the source code will point to the correct version on GitHub.
This should make no important difference to the npm package.
I've never gotten this to work quite right.
In this directory: npm link
In the main / test program directory: npm link phil-lib
Special instructions if the main program uses vite: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67964556/cant-support-npm-link-added-local-package-in-vite-cli
Sometimes I push to GitHub, but I don't publish to npm.
Then I run npm install https://github.com/TradeIdeasPhilip/phil-lib in the main / test program directory.
Then I build and run the main program to test this library.
This means that people who install from the npm repository will only get things that have been tested. But I still have to publish untested code to GitHub.
I like the alternate format, described below, because it allowed me to make changes to the main program and the library at the same time.
I could build and test everything locally, before committing, publishing, or otherwise sharing anything.
npm link is aimed at local testing, but I have multiple problems trying to use it.
If you don't like npm see https://github.com/TradeIdeasPhilip/lib.
That package is mostly obsolete.
Use npm or one of its modern replacements.
Ignore the plethora of older solutions and use a package manager.
