These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See usage notes on how to consume this package in your project.

Minimal requirements to set up the project:

• Node.js v12, installation instructions can be found on the official website, a recommended installation option is to use Node Version Manager. It can be installed in a few commands.
• A package manager npm. All instructions in the documentation will follow the npm syntax.
• Optionally a Git client.

That's it! You can now go to the next step.

This project uses Prettier to automate formatting. All supported files are being reformatted in a pre-commit hook. You can also use one of the two scripts to validate and optionally fix all of the files:

npm run format
npm run format:fix

This project uses ESLint to enable static analysis. TypeScript files are linted using a custom configuration. You can use one of the following scripts to validate and optionally fix all of the files:

npm run lint
npm run lint:fix

Publishing is handled in an automated way and must not be performed manually.

Each commit to the master branch is automatically tagged using semantic-release.
