Rocket Scripts

Here we have main script sources to be used in WP Rocket plugin repository.

Building

dist directory contains the final build files.

Developments for the scripts are done in the src folder. To update the outputs in the dist folder

npm run build:unmin

This is to build the source files without minification.

npm run build:min

This is to build the minified version of the source files.

npm run build

This is to build both minified and not minified versions.

Updating WP Rocket

How to import changes from rocket-scripts

The following steps must be followed when you need to test a new version of the scripts within WP Rocket plugin, or to submit a new version into WP Rocket through a PR.

1. Create a branch and PR for your changes in this repository.

2. Check out wp rocket plugin on branch develop (or a dedicated branch for the issue to test if needed)

3. Edit package.json inside WP Rocket plugin repository to change the targeted version of wp-rocket-scripts:

   "wp-rocket-scripts": "github:wp-media/rocket-scripts#branch-name",
   

   This syntax allows to target a specific branch as dependency. For instance:

   "wp-rocket-scripts": "github:wp-media/rocket-scripts#enhancement/6741-adjust-beacon-timeout",
   

4. Remove node_modules directory and package-lock.json file.

5. Run the command

   npm install
   

   You should see the targeted version of the beacon in your working directory /node_modules/wp-rocket-scripts/dist.

6. Use the gulp task there to generate the beacon script:

   npm run gulp build:js:beacon
   

   You should see the new beacon files in assets/js.

7. Compile the plugin zip as usual.

How to release a new version

When a new WP Rocket release occurs with a new version of rocket-scripts, or when new developments are available on rocket-scripts develop without breaking compatibility with WP Rocket, a new rocket-scripts version must be created. To do so:

1. Update the version in package.json.
2. Make sure everything is merged into trunk branch.
3. Create a release from trunk.
4. Github Workflow will run to release into npm.
5. In WP Rocket or any other code that uses this package can update the version in their package.json and run npm install again.
