DEVELOPERS

Prep the client

git clone git://github.com/ildella/pocket-cli.git
cd pocket-cli
npm install

Prep the auth proxy

In order to communicate with the Pocket API, we always need to send both the consumer key, unique to the pocket-cli app, and the user token, which is obtained trough a oauth exchange.

We need to run a proxy that securely stores the uniquer pocket-cli consumer key to access the Pocket API.

To try it in dev, create a fresh API key from Pocket Store it in a file called .env in the project root, like this

POCKET='<your api key here...>'

The proxy server can be started locally:

wt serve src/server/auth-proxy.js --port 4040

Run it

./bin/pocket-cli

Link

To use locally the current branch:

npm link

To link it to a different bin:

sudo ln -s "$HOME/n/bin/pocket-cli" /usr/local/bin/pocket-cli-dev

Depencencies.

I have a quite strict policy on dependencies.

$ yarn list --prod
[email protected] /home/ildella/projects/personal/pocket-cli
├─┬ [email protected]

I do not use most common command line library or framework like commander, inquirer, chalk. I also do not use lodash or similar libraries.

What I rely on:

  • Axios - http client
  • Colorette - a dependency free ansii coloring
  • Luxon - a dependency free, immutable momentjs

Publish from master

Docs: https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/npm/

Install travis locally:

sudo apt install ruby ruby-dev
sudo gem install travis --no-document

Generate a new GitHub Access Token with the scopes as specified in "Repositories on https://travis-ci.org" section.

Now, authenticate to Travis and setup the project. This whole thing should be done only once.

travis login --github-token GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN

Generate a new NPM access token which will be used and encrypted in this interactive shell:

travis setup npm

This will generate or upgrade the .travis.yml file in the project. The relevant portion is

deploy:
  provider: npm
  email: [email protected]
  api_key:
    secure: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  on:
    tags: true
    repo: ildella/pocket-cli
  skip_cleanup: 'true'

This will publish to npm each tag that we push to GitHub like this:

git tag v0.x.x
git push origin v0.x.x

Snap

To release as a snap installer:

sudo apt install snapcraft
snapcraft
