Publish version 1.0.4 to NPM

[ddgromit]

I'm replacing sprockets with webpack in my app and need to install this as a package. The currently published version is 1.0.2 (which works) but I'd love to be able to get the latest version. Could we get 1.0.4 published to npm?

[rafaelfranca]

I'm sorry but we don't support npm and we don't want to support. Wasn't the Rails team that published the package there so it would be great if you ask to who did it

[ddgromit]

No problem, makes sense. /cc @callumacrae

Sorry about that, the developers of jquery-ujs are too lazy to support npm.

For reference, my shell history for the last thirty seconds:

j jquery-ujs
git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/master
vim package.json # updating version number
git commit -am '1.0.4'
git push --follow-tags origin master
npm publish

Literally thirty seconds. You wouldn't even have to do the first three steps.

Come on, guys. I don't want to do this.

@rafaelfranca Is there anyway we can make this happen? We are working on a react webpack project within rails, https://github.com/shakacode/react_rails_server_rendering, and we need this on npm to keep all the assets in one place while still being able to leverage turbolinks.

I understand your reasoning though for why you haven't supported up until now.

@callumacrae My team needs this (https://github.com/shakacode/). If you can transfer the npm to us, we'll maintain this. @rafaelfranca We're happy to help. I just wrote about the options here: http://forum.railsonmaui.com/t/considerations-for-jquery-with-rails-and-webpack/344

[callumacrae]

Sure! What's your npm username?

Note that I've been pushing from my fork, which includes the package.json from #380: https://github.com/callumacrae/jquery-ujs

[justin808]

@callumacrae I just setup username "shakacode". We'll probably setup a fork off of your fork. Thanks so much. Please see the comment I posted to #380.

[callumacrae]

I've added you:

❯ npm owner ls jquery-ujs
callumacrae <callum@macr.ae>
shakacode <justin@shakacode.com>

[justin808]

Thanks. Any need right now to publish a new version? Any way to get notified of when I need to do so?

[callumacrae]

1.1.0 was released the other day which needs publishing to npm. There isn't really any easy way to get notifications short of watching this repo, which could be noisy.

[justin808]

Version 1.1.0 is published: https://www.npmjs.com/package/jquery-ujs. Note, after publishing, I tried to change the readme. Sadly, you have to change the version number to update the readme. Thus the version on npm right now is 1.1.0-1. In the future, we'll keep the version number the same as this project. In case I ever miss publishing an update, feel free to message me justin@shakacode.com.

I documented this here, copied below:

This pull request has the changes:

https://github.com/shakacode/react-webpack-rails-tutorial/pull/88/files

To summarize:

1. Remove jquery-rails from your Rails Gemfile.
2. Add jquery, jquery-ujs to your list of entry points, in your webpack config, like this.
3. Expose jQuery and $ in your webpack config like this.
4. Edit your application.js so that your generated/client-bundle from Webpack comes before other libraries that depend on jQuery, such as bootstrap-sprockets, as shown here.
5. Be sure to run bundle and npm install and npm shrinkwrap, committing the updates to your Gemfile.lock and npm-shrinwrap.json.

BOOM! No more gemified jquery-ujs and jquery, and just one place to track dependency versions of your JavaScript!

@callumacrae Looks like we need to update to 1.2.0.

@rafaelfranca How can @callumacrae and I be notified when you release new versions?

FWIW, we had 21,000 downloads last month: https://www.npmjs.com/package/jquery-ujs

[callumacrae]

Woah, that's actually a pretty serious number of downloads.

I've published 1.2.0. I pulled from the shakacode fork, merged in master from this repo, and then updated the package.json. I've pushed to my fork because I don't have push access to the shakacode fork: https://github.com/callumacrae/jquery-ujs

Note to jquery-ujs maintainers: you could have done this by running just npm version 1.2.0 && npm publish, which would also have handled the git tag for you. I'm amazed you're letting non-maintainers maintain what now seems to be a pretty serious distribution channel!
