Publishing my first package
This week, I've published my 1st package on npm - mh-ssg - a static site generator CLI.
-
Adding Continuous Integration to a Project
I also worked on another project, mh-ssg, and added tests to this project as well. I created unit tests for a function called processFolder(). This function accepts an input folder path, output folder path and stylesheet URL. I created two unit tests, one which tests when a valid input folder containing files is passed to the function and one which tests when a non-existent folder is passed to the function. The function logs a message to the console depending on how many files are saved in the output folder, so the tests I wrote tested for these console logs.
-
Add testing to SSG
For this lab, I picked Jest as the testing tool for mh-ssg. This is a popular Javascript testing framework thanks to its simplicity and ease of usage.
-
Adding Static Analysis Tools to SSG
To maintain the quality of source code, I added a formatter and a linter for my project.

Static Site Generator - Support static files
Throughout the previous week, I was exploring Docusaurus and found that they have a feature to support static files. I find this feature very useful for any static site generator since images, favicons, stylesheets, etc. are very common parts of a webpage. Therefore, I decided to add this feature in my tool.
-
Code Refactoring and Rebase
As new features are added to the tool, I realized that the logic is not clear anymore and some parts were duplicated, making it inefficient and hard to maintain. This time, I decided to focus on removing those duplications by moving the statements to the appropriate place and extracting function for reusability. All the refactoring was done through a single commit with the help of git rebase.
-
Working with git remote - approving new feature
Luke also implemented the same feature for my project. His code in general was good but I suggested some changes including separating modules and combining functions to remove code duplicates.
-
A different way of reviewing pull requests
After looking through my classmates' projects, I decided to work on Minh Hang's static site generator and filed an issue to her repo.
-
Merges and conflicts
In the last update, my friend - Dustin - helped to add Markdown as a valid input for my tool. Markdown syntaxes are different from HTML syntaxes and he has worked on converting some of them. This time I decided to add two more:
-
Collaboration and pull requests
I've been sending a lot of pull requests but this was actually my first time receiving one ๐ and Dustin was my first contributor. He also proposed to add Markdown support for my tool and to parse all the headings, bold, italics and link from markdown into the corresponding HTML tags. I scanned through the pull request and found some minor issues, including missing new feature in documentation and missing the handling of the output file name. We also had different opinions about the implementation of .txt file and .md file. However after discussion, we came to agreement and I approved his changes.
