Spike to publish a typescript Node package to NPM
This repo was bootstraped with my node typescript project boilerplate. It uses the @changesets/cli tool to manage the Node package versioning, changelog and release process.
It's also configured with a GitHub action that uses changesets/action@v1 to create a release pull request, whenever new changes are detected on main branch. Once this PR is merged, it will automatically bump the package version, create a release tag, trigger a release on GitHub and publishes the package to NPM.
The way it works is by running the changesets tool when releasing the package, which creates a temporary file associated to the changes of the version being released. Then, when this file is pushed to the main branch, the changesets action detects that a release PR must be created. This PR removes the temporary file, and updates the needed files for a successful release!
Note: The release PR is only created in the presence of the temporary file created by the changesets tool!

I would like to thank @mattpocock for introducing me to changesets tool! Here's Matt video on it:
