Package Exports

@plotset/cli
@plotset/cli/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@plotset/cli) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Publishing Workflow

Staging (Development)

plotset login-stage
plotset publish

Version updates are not required for staging.

Production

plotset login
plotset publish-production

For production:

Your project must be on github.com/plotset-corp
You'll be prompted to select a version increment (patch/minor/major)
First publish will create a new template
Subsequent publishes will update the existing template

Configuration Files

`plotset.json`

Stores template IDs for different environments:

{
  "templateId": 102,
  "stagingTemplateId": 45
}

`src/info.json`

Template metadata:

{
  "title": "My Chart Template",
  "author": "Your Name",
  "slug": "my-chart-template",
  "category": 1
}
