CI/CD Setup Status

As of the latest update, there is no CI/CD setup existing in the helixml/demo-recipes project. This section details next steps for implementing a CI/CD pipeline.

Next Steps for CI/CD Implementation

1. Choose a CI/CD Tool

Select a CI/CD tool that suits the team’s workflow. Popular choices include:

  • GitHub Actions
  • GitLab CI
  • CircleCI
  • Travis CI

2. Define the Workflow

For this example, we will illustrate how to set up GitHub Actions due to its seamless integration with GitHub repositories.

3. Create a GitHub Actions Workflow

Create a file in the .github/workflows directory inside your repository. The file should be named ci-cd.yml. Here is an example configuration:

name: CI/CD Pipeline

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Set up Node.js
        uses: actions/setup-node@v2
        with:
          node-version: '14'

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: npm install

      - name: Run tests
        run: npm test

      - name: Build project
        run: npm run build

      - name: Deploy
        run: |
          echo "Deploying to production..."

4. Add Build and Test Scripts to package.json

Ensure that your package.json file contains the necessary scripts for building and testing the project. Below is an example:

{
  "scripts": {
    "test": "jest",
    "build": "tsc"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "jest": "^27.0.0",
    "typescript": "^4.0.0"
  }
}

5. Configure Deployment Environment

If a deployment step is added to the workflow, ensure that the necessary credentials and environment variables are configured in GitHub Secrets. You can set these under the repository settings in GitHub.

For example, to add environment variables:

  • Go to your GitHub repository
  • Click on Settings
  • Scroll down to Secrets and variables and click on Actions
  • Add your deployment environment variables

6. Test the Pipeline

Once the configuration is complete, push changes to the main branch or open a pull request against it. This will trigger the GitHub Actions workflow to ensure that everything is set up correctly.

7. Monitor and Adjust

After setting up the CI/CD pipeline, monitor the workflow runs in the “Actions” tab of your GitHub repository. Adjust the settings and variables based on the feedback from these runs to optimize the CI/CD process.

By following these steps, you can effectively implement a CI/CD pipeline for the helixml/demo-recipes project using GitHub Actions.
