# Creating a release
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Only collaborators in npm for **node-addon-api** can create releases.
|
||
|
|
If you want to be able to do releases ask one of the existing
|
||
|
|
collaborators to add you. If necessary you can ask the build
|
||
|
|
Working Group who manages the Node.js npm user to add you if
|
||
|
|
there are no other active collaborators.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before to start creating a new release check if you have installed the following
|
||
|
|
tools:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* [Changelog maker](https://www.npmjs.com/package/changelog-maker)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If not please follow the instruction reported in the tool's documentation to
|
||
|
|
install it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Publish new release
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These are the steps to follow to create a new release:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Open an issue in the **node-addon-api** repo documenting the intent to create a
|
||
|
|
new release. Give people some time to comment or suggest PRs that should land first.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Validate all tests pass by running npm test on master.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Update the version in **package.json** appropriately.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Update the [README.md](https://github.com/nodejs/node-addon-api/blob/master/README.md)
|
||
|
|
to show the new version as the latest.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Generate the changelog for the new version using **changelog maker** tool. From
|
||
|
|
the route folder of the repo launch the following command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
> changelog-maker
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
* Use the output generated by **changelog maker** to pdate the [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/nodejs/node-addon-api/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)
|
||
|
|
following the style used in publishing the previous release.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Add any new contributors to the "contributors" section in the package.json
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Validate all tests pass by running npm test on master.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Use **[CI](https://ci.nodejs.org/view/x%20-%20Abi%20stable%20module%20API/job/node-test-node-addon-api/)**
|
||
|
|
to validate tests pass for latest 11, 10, 8, 6 releases (note there are still some issues on SmartOS and
|
||
|
|
Windows in the testing).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Do a clean checkout of node-addon-api.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Login and then run `npm publish`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Create a release in Github (look at existing releases for an example).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Validate that you can run `npm install node-addon-api` successfully
|
||
|
|
and that the correct version is installed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Comment on the issue opened in the first step that the release has been created
|
||
|
|
and close the issue.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Tweet that the release has been created.
