projen GitHub Demo

Releasing to private GitHub packages is super simple with the new npmRegistryUrl support!

Steps To Create

• Create new project with npx projen new jsii
• Set the package name in .projenrc.js using @scope/package-name
  • e.g. name: '@kcwinner/projen-github-demo'
• Change the jsiiFqn value in `.projenrc.js
  • If you plan to only have on project type use jsiiFqn: 'package-name.ProjectType'
  • If you plan to have multiple types you can remove the value and let it detect automatically at install time
• Set npm dist tag and npm registry in .projecrc.js
  • npmDistTag: 'latest'
  • npmRegistryUrl: 'https://npm.pkg.github.com'
• Generate personal access token for the repository
  • Give it write:packages permission
  • Set it as the repository secret NPM_TOKEN

Test Locally

Disclaimer - there is a small bug with testing external modules locally

• Build with yarn build
• In a separate directory: npx projen new --from ~/path/to/your/dist/js/package-name@x.x.x.jsii.tgz

Steps To Use After Publish

• Generate a github personal access token
• Authenticate against the GitHub NPM registry using your GitHub username and personal access token: npm login --scope @yourorg --registry https://npm.pkg.github.com
• Validate you can see the project
  • npm view @yourorg/package-name
• npx projen new --from @yourorg/package-name
