Release to NPM

Tell us about your feature request

I'm the author of GoNX, an Nx plugin to work with Go monorepos. One of the capabilities of Nx is its generators. Generators enable you to create packages, specifically in the case of Go, which are modules containing packages.

So far, I have created very simple blank binaries and libraries, but I would love to combine Nx generators with Go-Blueprint.

However, Nx devkit is written in TypeScript; therefore, the easiest way to combine both projects is if go-blueprint were released as an NPM package.

I understand this is possible with go-releaser

I would also recommend using this effort to add more target registries, like Homebrew.

@NachoVazquez this is currently assigned to you

Thanks, @Melkeydev. I have a colleague already working on this. We will need you to create a repository for Homebrew soon and add some secrets for NPM and multi-repository access. I'll let you know.

Blueprint is added into Homebrew Core, so we don’t need the individual formula repository

brew info go-blueprint

For NPM, I’m not sure how it works, but there is a pipeline example for Homebrew with GoReleaser in another project. I hope this helps

Awesome! Thanks for the info @Ujstor !

I'll let you know soon about the progress. I'm already working on the integrations while my friend works on the additional release targets.

Quick question: Where is the setup to release to Homebrew? Could you let me know if you are doing it manually?

[Ujstor]

In the case of Blueprint, I assume the maintainers added the repo to Homebrew Core (we just need to update the README and add Brew as an install option). But if you ever need a configuration, it’s in the Govm repo I posted in my previous comment. You need to create the formula repo like this (https://github.com/Melkeydev/homebrew-tap), and then set up a pipeline to push the config on release. This requires a PAT with write permissions (secrets.TAP_GITHUB_TOKEN in the workflow).

[NachoVazquez]

oh thanks @Ujstor , and sorry, I thought you were one of the maintainers.

[Ujstor]

@NachoVazquez can you check pipeline logs?
https://github.com/Melkeydev/go-blueprint/actions/runs/16392461847/job/46320246793

I did a manual trigger and was prompted to input the version, so I entered v0.10.11.

We can move the discussion here.

[NachoVazquez]

Looking into it thanks!
