# WooCommerce Packages
|
||
|
||
Currently we have a small set of public-facing packages that can be dowloaded from [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/org/woocommerce) and used in external applications.
|
||
|
||
- `@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 collection of utilities 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.
|
||
|
||
## Working with existing packages
|
||
|
||
- You can make changes to packages files as normal, and running `npm start` will compile and watch both app files and packages.
|
||
- :warning: Make sure any dependencies you add to a package are also added to that package's `package.json`, not just the wc-admin package.json
|
||
- :warning: Make sure you're not importing from any wc-admin files outside of the package (you can import from other packages, just use the `import from @woocommerce/package` syntax).
|
||
- Add your change to the CHANGELOG for that package under the next version number, creating one if necessary (we use semantic versioning for packages, [see these guidelines](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#maintaining-changelogs)).
|
||
- Don't change the version in `package.json`.
|
||
- Label your PR with the `Packages` label.
|
||
- Once merged, you can wait for the next package release roundup, or you can publish a release now (see below, "Publishing packages").

## Creating a new package
|
||
|
||
Most of this is pulled [from the Gutenberg workflow](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/master/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/wc-admin/tree/master/packages/[_YOUR_PACKAGE_]/README.md",
|
||
"repository": {
|
||
"type": "git",
|
||
"url": "https://github.com/WooCommerce/wc-admin.git"
|
||
},
|
||
"bugs": {
|
||
"url": "https://github.com/WooCommerce/wc-admin/issues"
|
||
},
|
||
"main": "build/index.js",
|
||
"module": "build-module/index.js",
|
||
"react-native": "src/index",
|
||
"dependencies": {
|
||
"@babel/runtime-corejs2": "7.1.5"
|
||
},
|
||
"publishConfig": {
|
||
"access": "public"
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
2. `.npmrc` file which disables creating `package-lock.json` file for the package:
|
||
```
|
||
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, which will be built by default using the `npm run build:packages` command. Note that you'll want an `index.js` file that exports the package contents, see other packages for examples.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Publishing packages
|
||
|
||
- Run `npm run publish:check` to see which packages will be published
|
||
- Create a PR with a CHANGELOG for each updated package (or try to add to the CHANGELOG with any PR editing `packages/`)
|
||
- Run `npm run publish:prod` to publish the package
|
||
- _OR_ Run `npm run publish:dev` to publish "next" releases (installed as `npm i @woocommerce/package@next`). Currently packages are published this way, but we should be using prod in the future. Only use `:dev` if you have a reason to.
|
||
- Both commands will run `build:packages` before the lerna task, just to catch any last updates.
|
||
- Lerna will ask you what version you want to release, for example:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Select a new version for @woocommerce/components (currently 1.0.1) (Use arrow keys)
|
||
❯ Patch (1.0.2)
|
||
Minor (1.1.0)
|
||
Major (2.0.0)
|
||
Prepatch (1.0.2-alpha.0)
|
||
Preminor (1.1.0-alpha.0)
|
||
Premajor (2.0.0-alpha.0)
|
||
Custom Prerelease
|
||
Custom Version
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
It will confirm with you once more before publishing:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Changes:
|
||
- @woocommerce/components: 1.0.1 => 1.1.0
|
||
- @woocommerce/date: 1.0.1 => 1.0.2
|
||
- @woocommerce/navigation: 1.0.0 => 1.1.0
|
||
|
||
? Are you sure you want to publish these packages?
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you accept, Lerna will create git tags, publish those to github, then push your packages to npm.
|
||
|
||
🎉 You have a published package!
