Features

  • Build & Test development workflow
  • CI Setup
  • Automatic Documentation generation for GitHub Pages

How to develop

  • Write your library code in *.mo source files in the src/ directory.
  • Run make check to make sure your changes compile (or use the VSCode extension to get quicker feedback)
  • Add tests to the source files in the test/ directory, and run them with make test. The project template is set up to include motoko-matchers.
  • Generate API documentation locally by running make docs and then open the resulting docs/index.html in your browser

How to publish

  • Create a git tag for the commit you'd like to be the published version. For example:
    git tag v1.1.0
    git push origin v1.1.0
  • Follow the instructions at vessel-package-set to make it easy for other to install your library

Checklist

Check the initial setup works
