v5.0.0 - the great rename!
Hi there! I kinda botched things a bit with the release, so you're reading a changelog that I wrote by hand. Fun stuff!
So you can see the enormous diff between the latest p-s
version (3.1.0) and nps
(v5.0.0) here. I'll give you some highlights:
Backward Compatible Changes:
b80aa2b: fix(init): don't fail when there are no scripts (#99)
Now you can init
on a project that has no package.json
scripts
🎉
3566a15: fix(load): allow function to be exported (as docs say) (#98)
I don't think anyone was doing this because it never worked, but it does now. So feel free to do it!
Breaking Changes:
acb7917: fix(parallel): remove
--parallel
in favor ofconcurrently
(#94)
This was a pretty big change! See the linked PR for more on why it was decided to do this. I'm pretty pleased with it to be honest. concurrently
is a great package and I'm already loving using it (the labels are cool)! I'm also thinking about making nps-utils
which will have utility functions you can use in your package-scripts.js
file to make using things like concurrently more ergonomic :)
before:
nps --parallel lint,test,build
after:
concurrently --kill-others "nps lint" "nps test" "nps build"
I realize that's a bit verbose, but writing a function for that is pretty straightforward (and like I said, I may provide one with nps-utils
one day). Things can get pretty awesome (and colorful 🌈) with concurrently
if you do something like this 😄
I'm pretty sure it's been awhile since we dropped support for environments that don't support native Promises, but this is the nail in the coffin for that.
Again, I'm pretty sure v4 is our oldest supported version, so we're transpiling down to that version of node now.
f5e17f4: fix(cli): improve handling of forwarding args/flags (#101)
This was a (surprisingly) HUGE refactor. Before, we were using commander
and things were pretty hacky (especially for stuff like autocompletion and what-not). With yargs
things are much more flexible.
Another significant change here is the change for #100.
before:
nps lint,build "src/**/*.js"
after:
nps "lint src/**/*.js" "build src/**/*.js"
It's kinda sad, but I honestly never really saw anyone utilizing the argument forwarding feature anyway. Where this gets a little more impactful is when you're typing at the command line:
before:
nps test --updateSnapshot
after:
nps "test --updateSnapshot"
Notice the quotes. Those are now required for a command and its arguments to be grouped (otherwise --updateSnapshot
will be assumed to be a command you're trying to execute and you'll get an error). Actually, nps
will throw an error if you try nps foo --flag
because --flag
is not a recognized nps
flag :)
28141fb: fix(name): rename from
p-s
tonps
This is thanks to @tmpvar for giving up the name "nps" for his npmsearch-cli
package. 👏 Thank you! Now things are much less confusing. There's only one alias. p-s
will no longer work:
before: (if you were even using this alias)
p-s test
after:
nps test
That's it! Overall, I'm excited about this release! Thanks for upgrading! If you have any trouble, please file an issue! There are still more issues up for grabs if anyone wants to contribute!
