OneSignal React, Vue, & Angular Code Generator

NPM Packages

• React
• Vue
• Angular

Start

If you just cloned the repo run the command: scripts/bootstrap scripts/update-subtrees

If you already bootstrapped the remotes you just need to run: scripts/update-subtrees

Upstream API Spec

The code generator uses an api.json spec file from the OneSignal-Website-SDK repo as the input. Modify this file in that repo to change what the generator ultimately builds.

The generator uses the URL hard-coded as a constant in the src/support/constants.ts file to fetch the spec. Make sure to update this URL as needed.

Building For Release

Update version in package.json files

Run the update-version-numbers script in the scripts folder and input the update type (major, minor, patch, beta).

Update README.md files where needed

• React: src/static/react/README.md
• Vue: src/static/vue/README.md
• Angular: src/static/onesignal-ngx/README.md

npm run build

ATTENTION: note regarding hidden files: The settings.json file in the .vscode directory hides all *.js files automatically. This is to keep the workspace uncluttered. Alternatively, you can turn those settings off by flipping to false.

Publishing

1. Merge your changes to main to kick off the build and cd_update process. Or trigger the workflow manually through the "Submit Downstream PRs" Github Actions workflow.
2. Review the downstream PR (branch cd_update) and merge into each respective SDK's main or feature branch (e.g: user-model/v1).
3. Pull the remote changes via git pull for the SDKs.
4. Publish with npm publish .
   • For onesignal-vue3 you must pass the --access public to the publish command as it is a scoped package.
   • For beta releases run npm publish --tag beta

Special Types File

The repo contains a file types.ts that contains all the type definitions for arguments and return values. These types must be kept updated (synchronized) with the upstream. To add new ones:

• add the type to src/snippets/types.ts
• write the type via TypingsWriterManagerBase.ts

Compatibility

As frameworks put out new major releases, we should ensure our shims remain compatible with the new versions.

Vue 2 & 3

There were some breaking changes in Vue 3 that required the plugin to be updated to support it. Instead of making a major release, we opted to create a separate plugin: onesignal-vue3 as this will greatly simplify managing future major releases (e.g: w/ user-model).

Angular

Angular puts out a new major release more frequently: once or twice per year. Our plugin is almost a pure JS module with the exception of a couple imports including Injectable needed for the eventual dependency injection. These are:

import { Injectable, NgModule, Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

It is unlikely that Angular would introduce a regression in a future release, in particular with Injectable which is our main dependency injection method. For context, it is a decorator (e.g: @Injectable()) which Angular uses to know what to inject. However, keep an eye out for changes related to any of these when looking to determine compatibility.

Dev Environment

Set up a new React, Vue, or Angular App so the new app and final package repo is at the same directory level as this project.

Angular Example:

|_ web-shim-codegen   // code generator
|_ my-example-app     // your example app
|_ onesignal-ngx      // npm package

Creating Test Apps

React Example App

cd ~/tmp
npx create-react-app web-shim-test-react --template typescript
cd web-shim-test-react
npm link {YOUR_PATH_HERE}/web-shim-codegen/build/react

Vue Example App

cd ~/tmp
npm create vue@latest vue-web-shim-test
// follow the instructions
npm link {YOUR_PATH_HERE}/web-shim-codegen/build/vue/v3

Angular Example App

cd ~/tmp
ng new angular-example-app
// follow the instructions
npm link {YOUR_PATH_HERE}/web-shim-codegen/build/onesignal-ngx

Link Builds with Local Project

Creates a symlink to allow test projects to automatically pick up changes from builds.

React

npm link {YOUR_PATH_HERE}/web-shim-codegen/build/react

Vue3

npm link {YOUR_PATH_HERE}/web-shim-codegen/build/vue/v3

Vue2

npm link {YOUR_PATH_HERE}/web-shim-codegen/build/vue/v2

Angular

npm link {YOUR_PATH_HERE}/web-shim-codegen/build/onesignal-ngx

Rebuilding to test changes to package

Run npm run build here to rebuild all packages

• Your test projects should automatically be pick up the changes, since npm link does a symlink for you.

Troubleshooting

Changes not showing in your test project?

• Try re-link with the npm link ... command noted above, as the symlink may have broken
• Try removing the file's top level package import and re-importing via VSCode auto-import (start typing package name, hit enter)

Check the module

Check the package in the node_modules directory to see if it is updated with latest changes
