Thank you for your interest in this project! We welcome all contributions and suggestions!
You can open a new issue to report a bug, share an idea, or request a feature. If you're more hands-on, you can submit a pull-request.
As a contributor, you're expected to follow the code of conduct.
Most contributions require you to agree to a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) declaring that you have the right to, and actually do, grant us the rights to use your contribution. For details, visit https://cla.opensource.microsoft.com.
When you submit a pull request, a CLA bot will automatically determine whether you need to provide a CLA and decorate the PR appropriately (e.g., status check, comment). Simply follow the instructions provided by the bot. You will only need to do this once across all repos using our CLA.

We use Yarn to install npm dependencies. From the repo root, run:
yarn
Once it's done, you can choose to build all packages or just the packages you're interested in.
If you want to build all packages, run the following command at the root:
yarn build
Otherwise, you can specify which package to build, e.g. @rnx-kit/cli
:
yarn build-scope cli
Alternatively, you can navigate to the package folder and run:
cd packages/cli
yarn build --dependencies
Both the repository level build-scope
and the package local
build --dependencies
ensure all dependencies are built before the target
package.
Below is a table of commonly used commands and what they do depending on your current working directory.
Command | Repository Level | Package Level |
---|---|---|
yarn build |
Builds all packages in the repository | Builds the current package only |
yarn build --dependencies |
-- | Builds the current package and its dependencies |
yarn build-scope |
Builds the specified package and its dependencies | -- |
yarn format |
Formats all packages in the repository | Formats the current package only |
yarn lint |
Lints all packages in the repository | Lints the current package only |
yarn test |
Tests all packages in the repository | Tests the current package only |
To ensure that there is consistency and shared practices across the monorepo, we have introduced a small script to easily allow for new packages generation.
Simply run
yarn new-package <package-name>
To generate a sample project for you to use; this is based on
packages/template
. You can pass the extra flag --experimental
to send the
package in the incubator
folder — files will be tweaked as necessary.
Each package in this monorepo contains a change log. The log is built from change descriptions submitted with each PR.
$ yarn change
This launches Changesets, which collects and records information about your change.
Follow the prompts and describe the changes you are making to each package. This
information is written in files under /.changeset
. Our CI loop uses these
files to bump package versions and update package change logs.
Note that you only need one change log entry per feature/fix. You don't need to create new entries if you're addressing PR feedback.
Our release process is fully automated by Changesets.
When a PR is merged, our CI loop uses Changesets
to version-bump each changed
package and publish it to npm
.
Most files are formatted with Prettier. We also use ESLint to lint all JavaScript code.
You can trigger formatting by running yarn format
, and linting with
yarn lint
.
