nvm install $(cat .nvmrc)

Commands

npm start

Watch packages for updates to code and documentation, triggering builds of both on change.

npm run bootstrap

Install dependencies for each package.

npm run build

Build each package.

npm run package

Prepare each package for distribution.

npm run docgen

Generate documentation for each package.

npm test

Run tests for all packages.

Adding packages

See CONTRIBUTING.md.

Generating documentation

The generation of our documentation website is a three part process:

  1. jsii must be run within each package (this is done by running npm run build from the project base dir). This produces a .jsii in the root of each package.
  2. scripts/docgen.js should be run to gather each package's .jsii file and to export markdown documentation for each package into the site/docs directory.
  3. Jekyll should be run to generate HTML from the markdown documentation.

This process can be made easier by running two processes in separate terminals:

  1. npm start which concurrently runs two operations:
    • trigger jsii builds on changes to packages' README.md or lib/*.ts files.
    • trigger scripts/docgen.js to run on changes to packages' .jsii files.
  2. npm run website which starts the Jekyll server. It is assumed that Jekyll has been previously installed on the system. See Jekyll's documentation for more information.
