npm-version-nonroot v1.0.0

npm-version-nonroot

npm version for packages in subdirectories of git repositories

Use case

I've started building projects that utilize Docker and organizing the repositor ies based on the Docker containers. A simple project might have the following structure:

project
├── db
|   ├── Dockerfile
|   └── schema.sql
├── web
|   ├── Dockerfile
|   ├── package.json
|   └── server.js
├── docker-compose.yml
└── README.md

Because package.json is not in the root of the git repository, npm vesion will not perform any of the git-related commands, such as committing and tagging. This module makes npm version work as expected.

Usage

Add nvn-preversion and nvn-version as part of npm's preversion and version scripts, respectively.

"scripts": {
  "pre-version": "nvn-preversion",
  "version": "nvn-version"
}

Implementation details

nvn-preversion runs the following steps. All differences from standard npm preversion behavior are noted.

1. Check if the git working directory is clean.

• npm version would normally do this before running the preversion script.
• nvn-version does not yet support the --force flag to prevent this check.

nvn-version runs the following steps. All differences from standard npm version behavior are noted:

1. Update npm-shrinkwrap.json if it exists.

• npm version would normally run this, and all following steps after the version script and before the postversion script.

1. Commit the changes to git.
2. Create the tag in git.

• nvn-version does not yet check for an existing tag of the same name.
