Project updates

[larrybotha]

A list of collaborative / project update to svelte-forms-lib which will make contributing, publishing, and fixing issues easier. Feel free to submit a PR for any of the following:

• automate semantic version publishing to NPM
  • requires:
    • semantic-release for automatic versioning based on commit messages
    • commitizen for a commit convention that semantic-release can use to determine version numbers for releases
    • Travis / Github actions for automating publishing
• add .prettierrc.js for consistent formatting for all contributors
  • husky pre-push hook to automate formatting for contributors not using prettier
• add linting to tests
• add test coverage and badge
• add a link to a simple svelte-forms-lib codesandbox template in bug template to encourage SSCCE repros of issues
• rewrite in TypeScript / add definitions

Hi @larrybotha, awesome work.

A quick FYI — last time I checked codesandbox contained a bug when using the $ shorthand for accessing observable values. See https://github.com/codesandbox/codesandbox-client/issues/2415. So you might run into issues when adding that template.

Regarding TypeScript — When I wrote this lib, the Svelte team was still working on TypeScript support. If by now TS is supported I'd happily spent some time with the conversion.

@tjinauyeung ok, great to know about the Codesandbox issue.

There's a language server that's had a lot of work recently: https://github.com/sveltejs/language-tools. I'm not sure if it's ready yet, as I'm waiting for things to stabilise before I use it, and there's still a lot of activity. The TS task can be low priority until someone's brave enough to give it a bash in :P

@tjinauyeung FYI the TypeScript LSP for Svelte has been deemed production-ready! sveltejs/svelte#4518 (comment)

I don't use VSCode, so I'll have to see what support looks like for me, but I'm keen to give it a bash this weekend and will let you know if I have any reservations.

@tjinauyeung I've added a .travis.yml, but I can't see this project in my Travis account - I might need to be given an elevated role on the project by you.

Also, please add me as a contributor on NPM - I can then evaluate the full deployment process.

EDIT: oh yes, regarding the new language server - seems to be working ok in Vim at least. Not quite as good as the TS experience, but at least nothing broken. Will probably be great in VSCode.

@tjinauyeung I just tried to replicate the codesandox issue mentioned above and it appears that this has been resolved: https://codesandbox.io/s/issue-2415-ce3sj?file=/App.svelte

[tjinauyeung]

@larrybotha, I've added you on NPM as well.

@tiaanduplessis That's great news. I might move the examples in the docs to codesandbox in the future!

[tiaanduplessis]

@larrybotha if you haven't gotten to it, I'll proceed and add a Codesandbox template in bug template to encourage repros of issues?

[larrybotha]

@tiaanduplessis excellent, go ahead :)

[larrybotha]

@tjinauyeung thanks for adding me to NPM. Took a quick look at Github actions as an alternative to Travis, but only collaborators with admin access can configure repo secrets.

If you add svelte-forms-lib at travis-ci.org I may be able to continue with configuring semantic-release and automated versioning.

[tjinauyeung]

Added it to travis-ci.org.
