Develop

This is a mono repository, managed with lerna.

1. git clone this repo & cd into it as usual
2. yarn setup is mapped to lerna bootstrap
   • installs all external dependencies
   • links all internal dependencies

Run

To make sure the TypeScript packages are built (immediately and after file changes), use

yarn build:watch

Or run yarn build once if you don't need the watching.

To run a local development copy, cd into this directory, and use yarn dev instead of migrate like so:

yarn dev [source]

Test

• yarn lint run just eslint
• yarn test run lint and tests

Publish

• yarn ship is an alias for lerna publish
  • Publishes all packages which have changed
  • Also updates any packages which depend on changed packages
