# publib > Previously known as `jsii-release` A unified toolchain for publishing libraries to popular package managers. Supports: * npm * PyPI * NuGet * Maven * Go (GitHub) ## Usage This is an npm module. You can install it using `yarn add publib` or `npm install publib`. In most cases it will be installed as a `devDependency` in your `package.json`. This tool expects to find a distribution directory (default name is `dist`) which contains "ready-to-publish" artifacts for each package manager. * `dist/js/*.tgz` - npm tarballs * `dist/python/*.whl` - Python wheels * `dist/nuget/*.nupkg` - Nuget packages * `dist/java/**` - Maven artifacts in local repository structure * `dist/go/**/go.mod` - Go modules. Each subdirectory should have its own go.mod file. Each publisher needs a set of environment variables with credentials as described below (`NPM_TOKEN`, `TWINE_PASSWORD` etc). Then: ```shell publib ``` You can customize the distribution directory through `publib DIR` (the default is `dist`) This command will discover all the artifacts based on the above structure and will publish them to their respective package manager. You can also execute individual publishers: * `publib-maven` * `publib-nuget` * `publib-npm` * `publib-pypi` * `publib-golang` ## npm Publishes all `*.tgz` files from `DIR` to [npmjs](npmjs.com), [GitHub Packages](https://github.com/features/packages) or [AWS CodeArtifact](https://aws.amazon.com/codeartifact/). If AWS CodeArtifact is used as npm registry, a temporary npm authorization token is created using AWS CLI. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the necessary [configuration settings](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-quickstart.html), e.g. by passing access key ID and secret access key to this script. **Usage:** ```shell npx publib-npm [DIR] ``` `DIR` is a directory with npm tarballs (*.tgz). Default is `dist/js`. **Options (environment variables):** |Option|Required|Description| |------|--------|-----------| |`NPM_TOKEN`|Optional|Registry authentication token (either [npm.js publishing token](https://docs.npmjs.com/creating-and-viewing-authentication-tokens) or a [GitHub personal access token](https://help.github.com/en/packages/using-github-packages-with-your-projects-ecosystem/configuring-npm-for-use-with-github-packages#authenticating-to-github-packages)), not used for AWS CodeArtifact| |`NPM_REGISTRY`|Optional|The registry URL (defaults to "registry.npmjs.org"). Use "npm.pkg.github.com" to publish to GitHub Packages. Use repository endpoint for AWS CodeAtifact, e.g. "my-domain-111122223333.d.codeartifact.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/npm/my_repo/".| |`NPM_DIST_TAG`|Optional|Registers the published package with the given [dist-tag](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/dist-tag) (e.g. `next`, default is `latest`)| |`NPM_ACCESS_LEVEL`|Optional|Publishes the package with the given [access level](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npm-publish#access) (e.g. `public`, default is `restricted` for scoped packages and `public` for unscoped packages)| |`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`|Optional|If AWS CodeArtifact is used as registry, an AWS access key can be spedified.| |`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`|Optional|Secret access key that belongs to the AWS access key.| |`AWS_ROLE_TO_ASSUME`|Optional|If AWS CodeArtifact is used as registry, an AWS role ARN to assume before authorizing.| |`DISABLE_HTTPS`|Optional|Connect to the registry with HTTP instead of HTTPS (defaults to false).| ## Maven Publishes all Maven modules in the `DIR` to [Maven Central](https://search.maven.org/). Note that if you signed up at SonaType after February 2021, you need to use this URL: `https://s01.oss.sonatype.org` ([announcement](https://central.sonatype.org/news/20210223_new-users-on-s01/)). **Usage:** ```shell npx publib-maven [DIR] ``` `DIR` is a directory with a local maven layout. Default is `dist/java`. **Options (environment variables):** |Option|Required|Description| |------|--------|-----------| |`MAVEN_USERNAME` and `MAVEN_PASSWORD`|Yes|Username and password for maven repository. For Maven Central, you will need to [Create JIRA account](https://issues.sonatype.org/secure/Signup!default.jspa) and then request a [new project](https://issues.sonatype.org/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?issuetype=21&pid=10134). Read the [OSSRH guide](https://central.sonatype.org/pages/ossrh-guide.html) for more details.| |`MAVEN_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY` or `MAVEN_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE` and `MAVEN_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSPHRASE`|Yes for Maven Central|GPG private key or file that includes it.

Staging profile ID can be found **in the URL** of the "Releases" staging profile under "Staging Profiles" in <https://oss.sonatype.org> or <https://s01.oss.sonatype.org> if you are logged in (e.g. `https://oss.sonatype.org/#stagingProfiles;68a05363083174`).| |`MAVEN_ENDPOINT`|Yes for new Maven Central users|URL of Nexus repository. Defaults to `https://oss.sonatype.org`. Use `https://s01.oss.sonatype.org` if you are a new user.| |`MAVEN_SERVER_ID`|No|Used in maven settings for credential lookup (e.g. use `github` when publishing to GitHub). Defaults to `ossrh` for Maven Central.| |`MAVEN_REPOSITORY_URL`|No|Deployment repository when not deploying to Maven Central| |`MAVEN_DRYRUN`|No|Set to "true" for a dry run| **How to create a GPG key?** Install [GnuPG](https://gnupg.org/). Generate your key: ```console $ gpg --full-generate-key # select RSA only, 4096, passphrase ``` Your selected passphrase goes to `MAVEN_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSPHRASE`. Export and publish the public key: ```console gpg -a --export > public.pem ``` Go to <https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/> and submit the public key. You can use `cat public.pem` and copy/paste it into the "Submit Key" dialog. Export the private key: ```console gpg -a --export-secret-keys <fingerprint> > private.pem ``` Now, either set `MAVEN_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE` to point to `private.pem` or export the private key to a single line where newlines are encoded as `\n` and then assign it to `MAVEN_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY`: ```console echo $(cat -e private.pem) | sed 's/\$ /\\n/g' | sed 's/\$$//' ``` **Publish to GitHub Packages** An example GitHub Actions publish step: ```yaml - name: Publish package run: npx -p publib publib-maven env: MAVEN_SERVER_ID: github MAVEN_USERNAME: ${{ github.actor }} MAVEN_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} MAVEN_REPOSITORY_URL: "https://maven.pkg.github.com/${{ github.repository }}" ``` ## NuGet Publishes all `*.nupkg` to the [NuGet Gallery](https://www.nuget.org/). **Usage:** ```shell npx publib-nuget [DIR] ``` `DIR` is a directory with Nuget packages (*.nupkg).

Modules can be located either in subdirectories, (e.g 'dist/go/my-module/go.mod') or in the root (e.g 'dist/go/go.mod'). If you specify the `VERSION` env variable, all modules will recieve that version, otherwise a `version` file is expected to exist in each module directory. Repository tags will be in the following format: * For a module located at the root: `v${module_version}` (e.g `v1.20.1`) * For modules located inside subdirectories: `<subdir-name>/v${module_version}` (e.g `my-module/v3.3.1`) **Options (environment variables):** |Option|Required|Description| |------|--------|-----------| |`GITHUB_TOKEN`|Required if `GITHUB_USE_SSH` is not specified|[GitHub personal access token.](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token)| |`GITHUB_USE_SSH`|Required if `GITHUB_TOKEN` is not specified|Set any value to use SSH with [deploy keys](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/overview/managing-deploy-keys#deploy-keys) or your private SSH key.

Defaults to 'chore(release): $VERSION'.| |`DRYRUN`|Optional|Set to "true" for a dry run.| ## Publish to CodeArtifact for testing This package contains the `publib-ca` CLI tool which is intended to use to publish packages to CodeArtifact for testing (in a pipeline, before publishing to the actual public package managers). Use the following commands: `publib-ca create [--no-gc] [--no-login]` creates a new CodeArtifact repository with a random name, with upstreams configured for all supported public package managers. By default this command runs the `gc` and `login` subcommands automatically. `publib-ca login --repo NAME [--cmd COMMAND]` logs in to a CodeArtifact repository and prepares some files that configure package managers for use with this CodeArtifact repository. If `--cmd` is given, the command is run in an environment where all supported package managers have been configured for the given repository. Otherwise, activate these settings in the current bash shell by running `source ~/.publib-ca/usage/activate.bash`. This will set some environment variables and copy some files into the current directory. (Note: the CodeArtifact repository used here does not have to be created using `publib-ca create`. It is fine if it already existed beforehand). `publib-ca gc` collects old repositories created using `publib-ca create`. `publib-ca publish [--repo NAME] DIRECTORY` publishes all packages in the given directory to the given repository. If `--repo` is not given, the most recently logged-into repository is used, if the login session is still valid. ## Roadmap * [X] GitHub Support: Maven * [X] GitHub Support: NuGet * [ ] CodeArtifact Support: Maven * [ ] CodeArtifact Support: NuGet * [ ] CodeArtifact Support: Python ## License Released under the [Apache 2.0](./LICENSE) license.
