Finally, release my first open source.

Starting...

This lab is to release my product to install easily. Instead of cloning or downloading and setting it up manually, it provides a lot of convenience for users to install it. I chose NPM since I used nodejs. NPM is a great site to help develpers to release their git repository in the site.

Progressing...

First, I signed up on npmjs.com and logged in the site on the console to release my repository. I had to set up a lot of things like 'npm init', modifying readme and package.json to be ready. Second, I tried to release my repository by the command, 'npm publish --access public'. Unfortunately, the name, http-parser, was already taken, so I needed to change my name. I chose my name as http-checker and tried to release it again. At this time, I got 403, forbidden error. I spent a lot of time to figure out but it was actually due to not verified account. Once I got the verified email account, finally, I got the release version of my repository. Here is my new released site.

After I got this one, I asked one of my class-mates for testing it. At the same time, I installed my program in the new folder. To run it easily, I added script as "start": "http-checker -f urls2.txt" and ran it as npm start.

Concluding...

From this course, I have experienced all processing of development from a scratch to a release of it. During the time, I also have experienced how to handle with conflict when I am in the group project based on git. I believe that now I am more confident and have to appreciate to David, my OSD professor. I love Open source to expand my knowledge and I will keep in touch.

Comments

Experience about a contribution to fix a bug or issue

Starting... I have been very exciting to review other classmates' repository before I will jump into a real open source project. From this lab, I have learned how to do forking and cloning other projects and create a new branch for a new issue or a new feature. It is very hard to wait for the owner's answer but it also can be a special experience Reading... In my experience, finding an issue and improvement is not easy especially for other's task and really careful to touch it since it should be very sensitive. For this reason, my first step for this lab, I tried to create an issue with a nice comment. During the time for waiting for reply, I did forking and cloning the repository and started to review a code to find out what I can contribute. Finally, I figured out some part I can improve so I added comment for it, Issue 5 I suggested three things. First of all, the number of counter is always the last number so I wanted to fix it. Second, I wanted to add an another ...

Coding Standard

Starting... This lab is to help our codes to standardize automatically. As you have experienced a lot, group coding is very difficult to be unified in one specific style. In this lab, we will explore how to make one style code with very efficient or effective libraries, prettier and lint for node js . Progressing... Prettier, link , is great for matching our coding style especially indent with tab or space, how many line and so on. The first step I took is to install prettier and put simple scripts in package.json, "prettier-fix": "prettier --write \"./**/*.{md,js,json}\"", "prettier": "prettier --check \"./**/*.{md,js,json}\"". I just run the script and I realized that there were a lot of prettier issues like indent, different ending style, tab, space and so on. Luckily, these scripts were very helpful since it provided auto editing features as well so I did not have to modify following the rules manually. Eslint, li...

Local Authentication

Release 0.3.2 I tried to find a test issue to learn how to write test cases but I found another one which was also very interesting to me since it was about authentication set up using JSON web token. When I reviewed telescope, I read a code very carefully so I remembered about passport so I suggested that I would work with passport local and token and the owner agreed with my idea. First, for this I needed to understand passport and how JSON token works. After spending a lot of time, I implemented the part and commit it. The owner was satisfied with work but unfortunately, during the time, about 2 days, he decided to change main language from javascript to typescript due to typeorm. What is typeorm? It will be my next topic. Anyway, he liked my logic so he said he would use it. Ah~, there are many things I need to study. Since my second job was refused and wanted to study or contribute more especially about test case, I started to explore again and finally, I found one. And I le...
