pedalboard VS nx

You can check out some demo examples in this Storybook, and see the code in the pedalboard repo.

Turns out there are tools for that and one of them is called typescript-coverage-report by Alex Canessa and I’m going to give it a try now and implement it in my Pedalboard monorepo.

Also, all the code mentioned here can be found in the GitHub repository for this plugin. Put your testing helmet on, here we go!

My Components package currently supports regular plain-old CSS (not that there’s anything wrong with it), and I thought it was a good time to introduce SASS to it, but the package is not a ordinary “Webpack-build-that-s#!t-for-me”. I’m using TSC (TypeScript Compiler) to generate the artifacts - What it means is that TSC is compiling 2 versions of the component, ESM and CJS. Once we have these, we’re taking the ESM outcome and bundling it using esbuild. You can read more about it here, but if to put it visually:

In this post I will write a test suite for my @pedalboard/stylelint-plugin-craftsmanlint. We will be using jest-preset-stylelint to help us with that, and as a bonus, I’ll fortify the plugin’s TypeScript support.

For reference, below is an image of the Pagination component, and you can find it’s code here:

Disclaimer - I’m going to apply the following steps on my Pedalboard monorepo. Working with monrepos is a bit different, and I will relate to that during the process, but be aware that applying Chromatic on a “simple” repo is even simpler.

I have noticed that although the build process for packages under my “pedalboard” Monorepo creates different artifacts (CJS, ESM and types - you can read about it in more details in my “Hybrid NPM package through TypeScript Compiler (TSC)” post) it does not create a single bundle for the entire package.

I will attempt to introduce this visual regression testing to my Pagination component from the @pedalboard/components package. So here we go.

So let’s see how this tool works and what we can do with it. I’m gonna do my experimenting over my Pagination component which resides on the @pedalboard/components package. Let’s go!

With Nx, you can use the list of presets, but it is hardcoded. There is some flexibility for each with some options, but not enough to generate a more advanced workspace.

One notable feature is the ability to remember selected tabs. When you select a specific tab on a page, all other tabs on the page with the same name will also be selected. This selection will persist during your next visit to nx.dev.

Hono does have a template application for Vercel, but in my case, my requirements were different (aren't they always 😅). I was working in a monorepo (using nx) because I wanted to manage my libs, tests, and examples all together in a single place, instead of having different repos.

Recently, My coworker is using Nx to automate his workflow, including automated release using semantic version. I found this method quite useful, so I want to re-implement on single GitHub repositories (without Nx).

I started a discussion on GitHub concerning that subject: Design Nx Plugin Project Crystal

We are looking for companies to partner with on the Analog project to support development of the project. Thanks to Snyder Technologies for being an early adopter and promoter of Analog, Nx for joining us as a sponsor, House of Angular, and many other backers of the project.

Additionally, thank you to all our community launch partners across the frontend ecosystem for helping us bring Storybook 8 to the world! Thanks to Chromatic, Figma, ViteConf, Omlet, DivRiots, story.to.design, StackBlitz, UXpin, Nx, Mock Service Worker, Anima, Zeplin, zeroheight, kickstartDS, and Kendo UI.
