Developer info

This file provides some details useful during development.

Project repository

The project is hosted on GitHub:

To clone it:

cd ${HOME}/Work
git clone https://github.com/micro-os-plus/hello-world-qemu-template-xpack.git \
  hello-world-qemu-template-xpack.git

To clone the development branch:

git clone --branch xpack-develop \
  https://github.com/micro-os-plus/hello-world-qemu-template-xpack.git \
  hello-world-qemu-template-xpack.git

Prerequisites

A recent xpm, which is a portable Node.js command line application.

Basic info

The package is both an xPack (used by xpm) and a Node.js module (for running tests).

To be accepted as a template by xpm init, a project must:

  • be an xPack (have a package.json with an xpack property
  • have a property called main in package.json, pointing to a JavaScript file that can be consumed by require()
  • the main file must export a class called XpmInitTemplate
  • an instances of this class must have a run() method.

The template receives via the context:

  • a log object
  • the new project config.name, either given explicitly via --name or inferred from the folder name
  • a map of config.properties, given explicitly via --property name=value

Branches

Apart from the unused master branch, there are two active branches:

  • xpack, with the latest stable version
  • xpack-develop, with the current development version

All development is done in the xpack-develop branch, and contributions via Pull Requests should be directed to this branch.

When new releases are published, the xpack-develop branch is merged into xpack.

Testing

Normally the tests should consume the template via xpm init, but this goes through the global repo in the home folder, and requires to uninstall the xPack, to be sure that the latest version is used.

To perform the tests, run the usual npm sequence:

cd hello-world-qemu-template-xpack.git
npm install
npm run test-all

Coverage tests

  • none so far.

Continuous Integration

All available tests are also performed on GitHub Actions, as the CI on Push workflow.

Standard compliance

The module uses ECMAScript 6 class definitions.

As style, it uses the JavaScript Standard Style, automatically checked at each commit via Travis CI.

Known and accepted exceptions:

  • none.

To manually fix compliance with the style guide (where possible):

% npm run fix

> @micro-os-plus/hello-world-qemu-template@1.2.0 fix
> standard --fix

Documentation metadata

The documentation metadata follows the JSdoc tags.

To enforce checking at file level, add the following comments right after the use strict:

'use strict'
/* eslint valid-jsdoc: "error" */
/* eslint max-len: [ "error", 80, { "ignoreUrls": true } ] */

Note: be sure C style comments are used, C++ styles are not parsed by ESLint.
