Re: [incubation] Publishing to npm and handling of CQs for npm/nodejs de

[Jens Reimann <jreimann@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Thomas,

regarding the _javascript_ CQs: As you figured out, processing single CQs for _javascript_ can be a rather frustrating process. So I would encourage you, unless you see a real benefit, to create a single CQ for all your dependencies, and simply accept that _javascript_ dependencies are … well, I stop right here :)

From what I understand, you can release parts of your project with a different release Type. So core Ditto could remain Type B, while the "Ditto _javascript_ Client" could be release as Type A.

Hi incubation list.

 

We, the Eclipse Ditto project [1], are currently working on an initial _javascript_ client [2] for our backend.

We would like to publish/release that to npm and are now wondering if there are processes/guides/best practices on how to publish modules to npm.

 

And, in addition: what is the process of creating CQs for npm dependencies we use in our client?

I saw some CQs which just provide their “package.json” along with all the sources of the dependencies from “node_modules” which npm creates, e.g. [3] or [4]

While that is a really simple way, when doing that we have no chance of reusing/piggybacking on already approved npm dependencies.

On the other side I see that it is really crazy how much transitive dependencies are pulled from some npm modules.

 

Also, all npm depdencies CQs I saw were “Type A” and our project is currently a “Type B” project and we would like to keep it that way.

 

Any advice/guidance or experience is much appreciated :-)
