# Webamp NPM Module

## Development

I do most development by starting the demo site in dev mode and iterating that way. The following commands will install all dependencies, run an initial development build and then start a local server. Every time you save a file, it will rebuild the bundle and automatically refresh the page.

    # First clone the repo, then...
    cd webamp
    # Change into the NPM module's sub directory
    cd packages/webamp
    # __Note:__ Please use yarn over npm, since yarn will respect our `yarn.lock` file
    yarn install
    yarn start

`http://localhost:8080/` should automatically open in your browser.

    # Run tests and lint checks
    yarn test

## Building

The NPM module is built separately from the demo site. To build it run:

    yarn run build-library

This will write files to `./built`.

## Testing

    yarn test

This will run the tests the linter and the type checker.

To update snapshots run

    yarn test -u

## Cutting a Release

1. Update the version number in `package.json`
2. Rename the "Next" title at the top of `CHANGELOG.md` to the new version number and ensure it is up to date
3. Update the static `VERSION` property of the `Webamp` class in `webamplazy.tsx`
4. Git commit
5. `npm publish`
6. Git tag the commit (e.g. `1.4.2` or `1.4.3-beta.3`)
7.

  The folks at Spotify reimplemented Winamp as a frontend for Spotify. Not in a
  browser, and only runs on Windows. It has since been discontinued.
