    NPM Build Utilities @ 0.1.3

    Opinionated utilities for easy build systems in npm projects.

    Not meant for use in production/client-side, only during development/build. Unit testing is not yet properly implemented.

    This library is fairly opinionated and targeted entirely towards my personal needs/preferences rather than to (web) developers in general. If you want to use it, it probably makes sense to make a wrapper package with your own preferred configuration and utilities.

    Read it from the source or the docs site.

    npm i -D @maddimathon/build-utilities@0.1.3
    npm i -D github:maddimathon/build-utilities#0.1.3

    For an overview of all exported items, including types, see the documentation below.

    Exports & Entry Points

    There is one main entry point (the root), plus one for types only and one for the bin and internal modules. It should, however, be possible to target individual files (carefully and at your own risk, paths may change without being considered a breaking change).

    import type { ... } from '@maddimathon/build-utilities';
    import type { ... } from '@maddimathon/build-utilities/types';

    import { bin, internal, ... } from '@maddimathon/build-utilities';

    import { ... } from '@maddimathon/build-utilities/bin';
    import { ... } from '@maddimathon/build-utilities/internal';

    A basic tsconfig to extend for npm scripts is available at @maddimathon/build-utilities/tsconfig.

    See documentation for details.

    This library is maintained by Maddi Mathon and is currently unlikely to accept other contributions.

    Each file that defines items/exports should limit its exports to one item and its associated types, if applicable. Occasionally (and judiciously), it may make more sense to define a small number of closely-related items in the same file.

    All files required for development but ommitted from the published package should be in src/.

    Files compiled in order to be included in the published package should be written to dist/.

    Files created in order to demo the package should be written as subdirectories in demos/.

    Documentation should be a valid HTML static site (for use with GitHub Pages) with a home page at docs/index.html.

    Scripts used for development (building, publishing, testing, etc.) should be in .scripts/. Subfolders for classes, functions, and variables separate resources from scripts meant to be run via npm.

    Long and clear is better than short and confusing.

    Abstract classes should start with Abstract (e.g., AbstractClass).

    Classes made only to be children of other classes should be prefixed with their parent class (e.g., ParentClass_[Child]).

    Documentation is good and helpful. The docs website for this package is mostly auto-generated from block comments and typing in the source. Keeping the readme and changelog up to date is also important.

    Documentation for the included JavaScript is generated from the TypeScript types and block comments in the source. Every new addition should be thoroughly documented from the start.

    To include source code in documentation, add the @source block tag (uses typedoc-plugin-inline-sources).

    Unit tests are written in the source but run after compile and minimize (via Build or Test scripts). Tests should be written in a file with the same path but with .test added before the extension — e.g., myFunction.ts is tested by myFunction.test.ts.

    Every subdirectory should have its own index.ts that re-exports the contents of its files. Types should also be tested using the utility types in @maddimathon/utility-typescript’s Types.Test.
