Nest framework TypeScript starter repository.

$ npm install

# development
$ npm run start

# watch mode
$ npm run start:dev

# production mode
$ npm run start:prod

# unit tests
$ npm run test

# e2e tests
$ npm run test:e2e

# test coverage
$ npm run test:cov

Install and add to devDependencies:

npm i --save-dev standard-version

Add an npm run script to your package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "release": "standard-version"
  }
}

Now you can use npm run release in place of npm version.

This has the benefit of making your repo/package more portable, so that other developers can cut releases without having to globally install standard-version on their machine.

Install globally (add to your PATH):

npm i -g standard-version

Now you can use standard-version in place of npm version.

This has the benefit of allowing you to use standard-version on any repo/package without adding a dev dependency to each one.

As of [email protected], npx is installed alongside npm. Using npx you can use standard-version without having to keep a package.json file by running: npx standard-version.

This method is especially useful when using standard-version in non-JavaScript projects.

You can configure standard-version either by:

1. Placing a standard-version stanza in your package.json (assuming your project is JavaScript).
2. Creating a .versionrc, .versionrc.json or .versionrc.js.

• If you are using a .versionrc.js your default export must be a configuration object, or a function returning a configuration object.

Any of the command line parameters accepted by standard-version can instead be provided via configuration. Please refer to the conventional-changelog-config-spec for details on available configuration options.

By default (as of 6.0.0), standard-version uses the conventionalcommits preset.

This preset:

• Adheres closely to the conventionalcommits.org specification.
• Is highly configurable, following the configuration specification maintained here.
  • We've documented these config settings as a recommendation to other tooling makers.

There are a variety of dials and knobs you can turn related to CHANGELOG generation.

As an example, suppose you're using GitLab, rather than GitHub, you might modify the following variables:

• commitUrlFormat: the URL format of commit SHAs detected in commit messages.
• compareUrlFormat: the URL format used to compare two tags.
• issueUrlFormat: the URL format used to link to issues.

Making these URLs match GitLab's format, rather than GitHub's.

NOTE: To pass nested configurations to the CLI without defining them in the package.json use dot notation as the parameters e.g. --skip.changelog.

To generate your changelog for your first release, simply do:

# npm run script
npm run release -- --first-release
# global bin
standard-version --first-release
# npx
npx standard-version --first-release

This will tag a release without bumping the version bumpFiles1.

When you are ready, push the git tag and npm publish your first release. \o/

If you typically use npm version to cut a new release, do this instead:

# npm run script
npm run release
# or global bin
standard-version

As long as your git commit messages are conventional and accurate, you no longer need to specify the semver type - and you get CHANGELOG generation for free! \o/

After you cut a release, you can push the new git tag and npm publish (or npm publish --tag next) when you're ready.

Use the flag --prerelease to generate pre-releases:

Suppose the last version of your code is 1.0.0, and your code to be committed has patched changes. Run:

# npm run script
npm run release -- --prerelease

This will tag your version as: 1.0.1-0.

If you want to name the pre-release, you specify the name via --prerelease <name>.

For example, suppose your pre-release should contain the alpha prefix:

# npm run script
npm run release -- --prerelease alpha

This will tag the version as: 1.0.1-alpha.0
