Publish bundle(s) on npm registry #3125

Open mbarto opened 6 years ago

mbarto commented 6 years ago

Description

Users asked for the possibility to import MapStore2 framework from the npm registry, to allow projects without a git submodule and use npm based dependency handling. This would improve developers experience.

We should think about publishing at least released bundle(s) on npm and eventually have different bundle(s) for core / plugins / apis, etc.

Did some preliminary experimentation. Sharing some results:

tested latest nodejs 8.11.4 and npm 5.6.0: working good
tested lernajs as a multi-bundle solution, not sure it's useful
tested yarn, expecially yarn workspaces for multi-bundle solution, looking good so far, also yarn install worked smoothly (can replace npm dependency management)

Hi @mbarto,

Do you mind if I ask what the status of this issue is?

I would be interested in contributing towards this if such a contribution would be welcome.

@zachsa Currently, I only did some experiments on separating the framework into different packages. You can find those experiments here: https://github.com/mbarto/MapStore2/tree/npm_publish
