# React Native Library Template

### This template is for creating React Native libraries for NPM

----
### What this template does for you

- Provides a `.gitlab-ci.yml` to manage the CI/CD pipeline
- Runs your *Unit Tests* with every push to the remote repository
- Analyzes your code with:
  - linting rules
  - run a *SAST* check
  - Pushes your code coverage analysis to SonarQube
- Ensures your code passes the SonarQube Quality Gate
- Utilizes *Semantic Release*, which means the pipeline will handle versioning
- Publishes your module to *npmjs*

----
### Follow these steps to create a new project using this template:

#### 1. Clone this project to your local machine and remove the git control file
Note: We use 'my-project' as the name of your new project
 ```bash
git clone git@code.tls.nuskin.io:ns-am/templates/npm-library-template.git <my-project>
cd <my-project>
rm -rf .git
```

#### 2. Create your new project in Gitlab

1. In the appropriate sub-group select **"New project"**
2. Name your project
3. Select a project description (optional)
4. Select **"Create project"**

#### 3. Connect your local project to the gitlab remote project
You can copy and paste the section in the gitlab command line instructions of your new
project into the command line of your local project.  It will look like the following
but will have your project specific details.
 ```bash
cd <your project folder if you are not already there>
git init
git remote add origin <your gitlab project url>
git add .
git commit -m "Chore: Initial commit"
git push -u origin master
```

#### 4. Add rules to your new project repository

- Under *Settings* Select *Repository*
  - Select *Push Rules* ([See Sample](./push-rules.png))
    1. Check *Do not allow users to remove git tags with `git push`*
  - Click on **Expand** in the *Protected Branches* section ([See Sample](./protected-branches.png))
    - **master** should already be set as your default branch. For **master** do the following:
      1. Set *Allowed to merge* to **Developers + Maintainers**
      2. Set *Allowed to push* to **Maintainers**
      3. Set *Code owner approval* to **Off**


#### 5. Update your new project with your project specific settings and information

1. Replace the `README.md` with a proper readme that will be displayed on *npmjs* ([See Sample](./README-sample.md))
2. Update these settings in your `package.json`
  - Note: All module names should be created in the *@nuskin* namespace.
  ```JavaScript
  {
    "name": "@nuskin/npm-library-template",
    "description": "The description that will amaze and astound your audience when they read it",
    "repository": {
      "type": "git",
      "url": "git@code.tls.nuskin.io:ns-am/templates/npm-library-template.git"
    },
    "author": "Ian Harisay <imharisa@nuskin.com>",
    "homepage": "https://code.tls.nuskin.io/ns-am/templates/npm-library-template/blob/master/README.md"
  }
  ```

#### 6. Determine if your module should be public or private
If your module should be public and published to *npmjs.com*, nothing needs to be done.  This is the default
behavior. If you need to publish to the private npm repository *nexus3.nuskin.net*, inside `gitlab-ci.yml`
update **PRIVATE_NPM** to `true`
```yaml
variables:
  PRIVATE_NPM: "true"
```
#### 7. Turning on your CI/CD pipeline

Once you are ready for your project to start running the CI/CD pipeline, you should rename the `gitlab-ci.yml`
to `.gitlab-ci.yml`.
```bash
git mv gitlab-ci.yml .gitlab-ci.yml
git commit -am"Chore: renaming gitlab-ci.yml to .gitlab-ci.yml so my pipeline runs"
git push
```

## TODO: Write documentation about Semantic Release (don't forget prereleases)
