Welcome to our contributing guide! We're excited to have you as a contributor.
Packages are published on the npm registry. Each release is associated to a github tag.
A version is composed of three numbers: X.Y.Z
where X
is the major version,
Y
is the minor version and Z
is the patch version.
A tag is a label that is applied to a version. It can be used to identify a version as a beta, or other version.
Combined together, a version and a tag can be used to identify a package release.
Example:
v1.0.0
is the first release of the1.0.0
version.v1.0.0-beta1
is the firstbeta
release of the1.0.0
version.
We have some rules in place to make sure that the version numbers and tags are correct.
Publishing packages is done by running the Publish packages workflow.
- Run the workflow with the appropriate git tag.
- Validate that the workflow published the packages to the npm registry.
To run a release in github (for main
and beta
branches):
- Create a new release on github using the URL provided at the end of the workflow.
- Add the release notes
- Update CHANGELOG.md
Latest releases are stable and production ready.
We release packages under the latest
npm tag using the following format:
- github tag:
vX.Y.Z
- version:
X.Y.Z
- npm tag:
latest
Latest releases are only published from the main
branch.
Beta releases are near-stable and close to production ready.
We release packages under the beta
npm tag using the following format:
- github tag:
vX.Y.Z-betaN
- version:
X.Y.Z-betaN
- npm tag:
beta
Beta releases are only published from the beta
branch.
Other releases are not stable and not production ready.
We release packages under the desired npm tag using the following format:
- github tag:
vX.Y.Z-<tag>N
- version:
X.Y.Z-<tag>N
- npm tag:
<tag>
Other releases are published from any branch.
