Overview

This section outlines the CI/CD workflow associated with the project. If a CI/CD pipeline has not been established, this documentation will indicate the absence and suggest potential next steps.

Current Status

As of now, the CI/CD workflow is not yet set up for the project.

To establish a CI/CD pipeline, consider the following steps:

1. Select a CI/CD Tool: Choose a tool that fits the project’s requirements. Common options include GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, Travis CI, or CircleCI.

2. Define Build Commands: Specify the commands necessary to build the project. This typically includes compiling code, running tests, and preparing artifacts.

3. Create Configuration File: Each CI/CD tool requires a configuration file to define the workflow. Below are examples of configuration files for various tools.

Example CI/CD Configurations

GitHub Actions

Create a file named .github/workflows/ci.yml with the following content:

name: CI

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

GitLab CI/CD

Create a file named .gitlab-ci.yml with the following content:

stages:
  - build
  - test

build_job:
  stage: build
  script:
    - echo "Building project..."
    - npm install
    - npm run build

test_job:
  stage: test
  script:
    - echo "Running tests..."
    - npm test

Travis CI

Create a file named .travis.yml with the following content:

language: node_js
node_js:
  - "14"

script:
  - npm install
  - npm test
  - npm run build

Next Steps

1. Integrate the Selected CI/CD Tool: Follow the installation instructions specific to the chosen CI/CD tool.

2. Connect Your Repository: Ensure that the CI/CD tool is correctly connected to your repository for triggering builds on commits.

3. Run Initial Build: Commit the configuration files to the main branch and monitor the CI/CD tool interface to ensure builds are running as expected.

4. Optimize the Pipeline: Review build performance and adjust commands, stages, and jobs for efficiency based on feedback and metrics.

5. Add Deployment Steps: Depending on the deployment targets, you may need to configure deployment actions or commands in the CI/CD pipeline.

By setting up a CI/CD pipeline, the development process can become more automated and efficient, allowing for quicker feedback and deployment cycles. Consider reviewing documentation specific to the CI/CD tool of choice for more advanced features and configuration options.
