This guide provides instructions for contributing to this Capacitor plugin.
-
Fork and clone the repo.
-
Install the dependencies.
npm install
-
Install SwiftLint if you're on macOS.
brew install swiftlint
Build the plugin web assets and generate plugin API documentation using @capacitor/docgen
.
It will compile the TypeScript code from src/
into ESM JavaScript in dist/esm/
. These files are used in apps with bundlers when your plugin is imported.
Then, Rollup will bundle the code into a single file at dist/plugin.js
. This file is used in apps without bundlers by including it as a script in index.html
.
Build and validate the web and native projects.
This is useful to run in CI to verify that the plugin builds for all platforms.
Check formatting and code quality, autoformat/autofix if possible.
This template is integrated with ESLint, Prettier, and SwiftLint. Using these tools is completely optional, but the Capacitor Community strives to have consistent code style and structure for easier cooperation.
Don't change the plugin version manually, the version change is automated with standard-version
package.
First run:
npm run release
That will update the plugin version and update the CHANGELOG.md
file with latest changes. Then it will ask you to run:
git push --follow-tags origin master && npm publish
That creates a tag on gitbhub and publishes the package on npm.
Go to the github tags section, pick the latest tag and create a release for it.
Note: The
files
array inpackage.json
specifies which files get published. If you rename files/directories or add files elsewhere, you may need to update it.
