Semantic Release

Once you have added your Project to CFA and set up a Requester and a Responder for that project you can go ahead and configure Semantic Release to use CFA.

Step 1: Configure your CI environment

In order for CFA to run and authenticate correctly you must configure the following environment variables on your CI provider.

Environment Variable	Value
CFA_SECRET	The "Project Secret" found on your Project configuration page
CFA_PROJECT_ID	The "Project ID" found on your Project configuration page

Step 2: Configure Semantic Release

You should configure Semantic Release following the default instructions. Then once it's completely set up you should add @continuous-auth/semantic-release-npm as a dev-dependency to your project.

Yarn

yarn add @continuous-auth/semantic-release-npm --dev

NPM

npm install @continuous-auth/semantic-release-npm --save-dev

Then add the following file to the root of your project

.releaserc.json

{
  "plugins": [
    "@semantic-release/commit-analyzer",
    "@semantic-release/release-notes-generator",
    "@continuous-auth/semantic-release-npm",
    "@semantic-release/github"
  ]
}

This is identical to the default configuration but with the default npm plugin swapped out for the CFA one.

Step 3: Try trigger a release

Everything should be completely set up now, try pushing a semantic commit to master and see if it releases your module.
