Introduction

This package builds JavaScript projects any JS tooling you might happen to use. It contains a zest.releaser entry point and a stand-alone command line tool.

Goal

You want to release a package that has a packages.json on it and to build the final assets you only have two commands:

• install (dependencies)
• build (the assets)

Usually one does not want to keep the generated files on VCS, but you want them when releasing with zest.releaser.

Configuration

For that to work you need to add a yarn.build section on setup.cfg with the following configuration options:

[yarn.build]
folder = src/my/package/frontend
install = pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
build = pnpm build

• folder: is a path to where the package.json is located
• install: is the command to install the dependencies that your frontend code needs
• build: is the command that generates your assets

Credits

This package is a direct inspiration from zest.pocompile from Maurits van Rees.
