CI/CD Deployment for stevedunn/pacman-typescript

As of now, CI/CD is not yet set up for the stevedunn/pacman-typescript project. To implement a CI/CD pipeline for this project, follow these steps:

Next Steps for Setting Up CI/CD

1. Choose a CI/CD Tool: Consider using popular CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions, Travis CI, or CircleCI. For this project, GitHub Actions is a good choice due to its seamless integration with GitHub repositories.

2. Create a Configuration File: Depending on the tool chosen, create the necessary configuration files to define your CI/CD pipeline. Below are examples for GitHub Actions.

Example Configuration with GitHub Actions

To set up CI/CD using GitHub Actions, create a .github/workflows/ci.yml file in the project’s root directory.

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'  # Specify the node version

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: npm install

      - name: Run tests
        run: npm test

      - name: Build project
        run: npm run build

Explanation of the Configuration

• name: The name of the workflow, which in this case is “CI”.

• on: Specifies the events that trigger the workflow. Here, the workflow is triggered on pushes and pull requests to the main branch.

• jobs: Defines a collection of tasks to be executed.

• build: This is the job name and defines the environment for running the tasks.

• runs-on: Specifies the virtual machine environment where the job runs, here it is set to ‘ubuntu-latest’.

• steps: This section contains a sequence of tasks that perform the following:

  • Checkout code: Uses the actions/checkout action to fetch the repository’s code.

  • Set up Node.js: Uses the actions/setup-node action to set up the Node.js environment with a specified version.

  • Install dependencies: Runs npm install to install project dependencies.

  • Run tests: Executes the test suite using npm test.

  • Build project: Executes the build process using npm run build.

3. Add Secrets and Environment Variables: If your deployment process requires secrets (such as API keys), add them to your repository settings under “Secrets” in GitHub.

4. Deploy to Hosting Service: After setting up the CI pipeline, the next step would be to automate the deployment of your built application to a hosting service such as Vercel, Netlify, or AWS. This can be configured as an additional job in the GitHub Actions workflow.

Example for Deployment to GitHub Pages

If you plan to deploy the application to GitHub Pages, you can extend the previous configuration:

  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: build
    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: Build project
        run: npm run build

      - name: Deploy to GitHub Pages
        uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
        with:
          github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          publish_dir: ./build  # Path to your built files

This deploy job:

• Checks out the code.
• Sets up Node.js and installs dependencies.
• Builds the project.
• Deploys the contents of the ./build directory to GitHub Pages using the peaceiris/actions-gh-pages action.

Conclusion

These steps provide a foundation for setting up CI/CD for the stevedunn/pacman-typescript project. Once established, the automated workflows will help maintain code quality and streamline deployment processes.
