v2.0.x Chore - implement package.json

[reactive-firewall]

consider using package.json to manage npm deps

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "markdownlint": "^0.31.1",
    "markdownlint-cli": "^0.37.0"
  }
}

@coderabbitai, What about related changes to dependabot to manage this new file? and how does the npm usage change with this new file? use a tone appropriate for a developer guide.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@reactive-firewall Based on the existing dependabot.yml configuration, I'll provide a developer-focused guide on integrating npm dependency management while maintaining consistency with your current setup:

1. Dependabot Configuration Update
   Add the following npm ecosystem configuration to your .github/dependabot.yml, matching your existing style and preferences:

  - package-ecosystem: "npm"
    directory: "/"
    target-branch: "master"
    milestone: 1
    versioning-strategy: increase-if-necessary
    labels:
      - "Configs"
      - "JavaScript"
      - "Multicast"
    rebase-strategy: "disabled"
    groups:
      development-dependencies:
        dependency-type: "development"
    allow:
      - dependency-type: "development"
    assignees:
      - "reactive-firewall"
    commit-message:
      prefix: "[HOTFIX] "
      include: "scope"
    schedule:
      interval: "weekly"
      day: "tuesday"

2. NPM Workflow Changes
   With the introduction of package.json, here's how the development workflow adapts:

• Initial Setup:

  npm install

  This generates package-lock.json and installs the markdown linting tools.

• Dependency Management:

  • Dependabot will automatically create PRs for updates every Tuesday
  • Manual updates if needed:

    npm update markdownlint markdownlint-cli

• Markdown Linting:
  Update package.json to include these scripts:

  {
    "devDependencies": {
      "markdownlint": "^0.31.1",
      "markdownlint-cli": "^0.37.0"
    },
    "scripts": {
      "lint:md": "markdownlint '**/*.md' --ignore node_modules --ignore build",
      "fix:md": "markdownlint '**/*.md' --ignore node_modules --ignore build --fix"
    }
  }

  Usage:

  npm run lint:md  # Check markdown files
  npm run fix:md   # Auto-fix markdown issues

The configuration maintains your existing patterns for:

• Weekly updates on Tuesdays
• Consistent labeling strategy
• Assignee automation
• Commit message formatting
• Rebase strategy
• Milestone tracking

Would you like me to create a GitHub issue to track these changes?

🔗 Analysis chain

Let me gather information about the current dependabot configuration and npm-related files.

Let me analyze the results and provide guidance on the necessary changes.

@reactive-firewall Based on the project objectives and your question, I'll provide a developer-focused guide on implementing dependabot support and npm workflow changes with the new package.json:

1. Dependabot Configuration
   To enable automated dependency updates for npm packages, you'll need to add npm ecosystem support to your dependabot configuration. Create or update .github/dependabot.yml:

version: 2
updates:
  - package-ecosystem: "npm"
    directory: "/"
    schedule:
      interval: "weekly"
    # Recommended settings for dev dependencies
    allow:
      - dependency-type: "development"
    commit-message:
      prefix: "chore(deps)"
      prefix-development: "chore(dev-deps)"
    labels:
      - "dependencies"
      - "npm"

2. NPM Workflow Changes
   With the introduction of package.json, the npm workflow will change as follows:

• Initial Setup: Run npm install to install dev dependencies and generate package-lock.json
• Adding Dependencies: Use npm install --save-dev <package> instead of manual edits
• Updating Dependencies:
  • Automated: Dependabot will create PRs for updates
  • Manual: Use npm update or npm update <package>
• Scripts: Consider adding npm scripts for markdown linting:

  {
    "scripts": {
      "lint:md": "markdownlint '**/*.md' --ignore node_modules",
      "fix:md": "markdownlint '**/*.md' --ignore node_modules --fix"
    }
  }

Would you like me to create a GitHub issue to track the implementation of these changes?

@coderabbitai and can I continue to install via:

sudo npm install -g markdownlint
sudo npm install -g markdownlint-cli

as I have been?

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@reactive-firewall While you can continue using global installations with -g, it's generally recommended to use local installations with package.json for better dependency management and project isolation. Here's why:

1. Project-specific versioning: Local installations ensure all developers use the same versions specified in package.json, avoiding version conflicts.

2. Easier onboarding: New developers can simply run npm install to get all required dependencies without needing sudo access.

3. CI/CD compatibility: CI pipelines can install dependencies without requiring global installations.

However, if you prefer to maintain global installations, you can do both:

• Keep your global installations for system-wide use
• Add the dependencies to package.json for project-specific management

The tools will work the same way, but you'll need to use different commands:

• Global: markdownlint file.md
• Local: npx markdownlint file.md or npm run lint:md

Would you like me to update the package.json scripts to work seamlessly with both global and local installations?
