# WooCommerce Packages
|
|
|
|
Currently we have a set of public-facing packages that can be downloaded from [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/org/woocommerce) and used in external applications. Here is a non-exhaustive list.
|
|
|
|
- `@woocommerce/components`: A library of components that can be used to create pages in the WooCommerce dashboard and reports pages.
|
|
- `@woocommerce/csv-export`: A set of functions to convert data into CSV values, and enable a browser download of the CSV data.
|
|
- `@woocommerce/currency`: A class to display and work with currency values.
|
|
- `@woocommerce/date`: A collection of utilities to display and work with date values.
|
|
- `@woocommerce/navigation`: A collection of navigation-related functions for handling query parameter objects, serializing query parameters, updating query parameters, and triggering path changes.
|
|
- `@woocommerce/tracks`: User event tracking utility functions for Automattic based projects.
|
|
|
|
## Working with existing packages
|
|
|
|
- You can make changes to packages files as normal, and running `pnpm start` will compile and watch both app files and packages.
|
|
- :warning: Add any dependencies to a package using `pnpm add` from the package root.
|
|
- :warning: Make sure you're not importing from any other files outside of the package (you can import from other packages, just use the `import from @woocommerce/package` syntax).
|
|
- Don't change the version in `package.json`.
|
|
- Label your PR with the `Packages` label.
|
|
- See the [Package Release Tool](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/f9e7a5a3fb11cdd4dc064c02e045cf429cb6a2b6/tools/package-release/README.md) for instructions on how to release packages.

## Creating a new package
|
|
|
|
Most of this is pulled [from the Gutenberg workflow](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/trunk/CONTRIBUTING.md#creating-new-package).
|
|
|
|
To create a new package, add a new folder to `/packages`, containing…
|
|
|
|
1. `package.json` based on the template:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "@woocommerce/package-name",
|
|
"version": "1.0.0-beta.0",
|
|
"description": "Package description.",
|
|
"author": "Automattic",
|
|
"license": "GPL-2.0-or-later",
|
|
"keywords": [ "wordpress", "woocommerce" ],
|
|
"homepage": "https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/tree/trunk/packages/js/[_YOUR_PACKAGE_]/README.md",
|
|
"repository": {
|
|
"type": "git",
|
|
"url": "https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce.git"
|
|
},
|
|
"bugs": {
|
|
"url": "https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues"
|
|
},
|
|
"main": "build/index.js",
|
|
"module": "build-module/index.js",
|
|
"react-native": "src/index",
|
|
"publishConfig": {
|
|
"access": "public"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. `.npmrc` file which disables creating `package-lock.json` file for the package:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
package-lock=false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. `README.md` file containing at least:
|
|
- Package name
|
|
- Package description
|
|
- Installation details
|
|
- Usage example
|
|
4. A `src` directory for the source of your module. Note that you'll want an `index.js` file that exports the package contents, see other packages for examples.
|
|
5. A blank Changelog file, `changelog.md`.
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
# Changelog
|
|
|
|
This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
6. Add the new package name to `packages/js/dependency-extraction-webpack-plugin/assets/packages.js` so that users of that plugin will also be able to use the new package without enqueuing it.
