A demo to show you how you can deploy your first Svelte registry to jsrepo.com.

Within is an example of a big red button to help demonstrate how jsrepo works.

Tutorial

In this tutorial we will cover how to build and publish a simple Svelte registry to jsrepo.com.

1. Initialize a TypeScript project

Start by initializing a Svelte project (I will use pnpm for this)

pnpm dlx sv create

2. Create your components

Now lets create some components that we want to share. Add the following components in their respective locations.

src/lib/components/ui/big-red-button.svelte:

<script lang="ts">
	import { cn } from '$lib/utils/utils.js';
	import type { HTMLButtonAttributes } from 'svelte/elements';
 
	let { class: className, children, ...rest }: HTMLButtonAttributes = $props();
</script>
 
<div class="group relative inline-block size-20 [--offset:0px] has-active:[--offset:4px]">
	<span class="absolute top-1 left-1 z-0 size-full scale-98 rounded-full bg-black transition-all"
	></span>
	<button
		{...rest}
		class={cn(
			'relative top-(--offset) left-(--offset) z-10 size-20 rounded-full border border-red-500 bg-red-500 text-white transition-all',
			className
		)}
	>
		{@render children?.()}
	</button>
</div>

src/lib/utils/utils.ts:

import { type ClassValue, clsx } from 'clsx';
import { twMerge } from 'tailwind-merge';
 
export function cn(...inputs: ClassValue[]) {
	return twMerge(clsx(inputs));
}

3. Prepare the registry for publish

Now that we have our components let's configure jsrepo to publish our registry to jsrepo.com.

Start by running the init command:

pnpm dlx jsrepo init --registry

When asked "Where are your blocks located?" answer ./src/lib and then add another called ./src/lib/components these directories are where our categories are.

Answer yes to "Configure to publish to jsrepo.com?" and then input the name of your registry.

The name of the registry should be in the format of @<scope>/<name>. If you don't already have a scope you can claim one here.

┌   jsrepo  v2.0.0
│
◇  Where are your blocks located?
│  ./src/lib
│
◇  Add another blocks directory?
│  Yes
│
◇  Where are your blocks located?
│  ./src/lib/components
│
◇  Add another blocks directory?
│  No
│
◇  Configure to publish to jsrepo.com?
│  Yes
│
◇  What's the name of your registry?
│  @example/svelte
│
◇  Added script to package.json
│
◇  Wrote config to `jsrepo-build-config.json`
│
◇  Would you like to install dependencies?
│  Yes
│
◆  Installed jsrepo
│
├ Next Steps ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                                                                 │
│   1. Add categories to `./src/lib, ./src/lib/components`.       │
│   2. Run `pnpm run release:registry` to publish the registry.   │
│                                                                 │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
│
└  All done!

Next let's make sure we are only going to build the blocks that we want to include in our registry. We can do this with the keys in the jsrepo-build-config.json:

{
	"$schema": "https://unpkg.com/jsrepo@2.0.0/schemas/registry-config.json",
	"name": "@example/svelte",
	"version": "0.0.1",
	"readme": "README.md",
	"dirs": ["./src/lib", "./src/lib/components"],
	"doNotListBlocks": [],
	"doNotListCategories": [],
	"listBlocks": [],
	"listCategories": [],
	"excludeDeps": [],
	"includeBlocks": [],
	"includeCategories": ["ui", "utils"], // this way we only build ui and utils
	"excludeBlocks": [],
	"excludeCategories": [],
	"preview": false
}

Now your registry should be ready to publish!

4. Publish your registry

Now that your registry has been configured to publish to jsrepo.com let's authenticate to the jsrepo CLI.

jsrepo auth
 
# or
 
jsrepo auth --token <...>

Once you are authenticated let's do a dry run to make sure we got everything right:

jsrepo publish --dry-run

If all went well you should see:

◆  [jsrepo.com] Completed dry run!

See it? Great! Now let's do it for real!

jsrepo publish

And there you go you published your first registry to jsrepo.com.

Now you can access your components through the jsrepo CLI.

jsrepo init @example/svelte
 
jsrepo add # list components
 
jsrepo add ui/big-red-button # add individual

and from the jsrepo.com page for your registry located at https://jsrepo.com/@<scope>/<name>.

5. Advanced usage

Un-listing blocks

Now let's do a few things to improve our registry.

First of all when we run the jsrepo add command right now to list our components we see big-red-button and utils. Since utils is just an internal helper for big-red-button why don't we prevent it from coming up on this list.

We can do this with the doNotListBlocks key in our jsrepo-build-config.json file:

{
	// -- snip --
	"doNotListBlocks": ["utils"]
	// -- snip --
}

Now when we list our blocks only big-red-button will appear.

Alternatively if we had more internal utils we could use listBlocks and only include big-red-button to prevent others from showing up here.

Metadata

jsrepo.com uses metadata you provide in your jsrepo-build-config.json to display on your registries homepage.

{
	// -- snip --
	"meta": {
		"authors": ["Aidan Bleser"],
		"bugs": "https://github.com/jsrepojs/example-svelte",
		"description": "A demo to show you can you can deploy your first Svelte registry to jsrepo.com",
		"homepage": "https://github.com/jsrepojs/example-svelte",
		"repository": "https://github.com/jsrepojs/example-svelte",
		"tags": ["registry", "svelte", "example", "jsrepo"]
	}
	// -- snip --
}

Changesets

Another thing you may want to setup if you are publishing a registry to jsrepo.com is changesets.

Changesets are an awesome way to manage the versioning of your registry let's set them up here.

pnpm install @changesets/cli -D
 
pnpm changeset init

Now that you have changesets initialized let's make a small modification to the .changeset/config.json file:

{
  // -- snip --
+ "privatePackages": {
+   "tag": true,
+   "version": true
+ }
}

Let's also modify our package.json so that our release get's tagged when we publish a new version:

{
	// -- snip --
	"scripts": {
+		"release:registry": "jsrepo publish && changeset tag"
	}
	// -- snip --
}

And finally let's modify our jsrepo-build-config.json file to use the version from our package.json:

You'll want to make sure that the version in your package.json matches the version in your jsrepo-build-config.json before continuing.

{
	// -- snip --
+	"version": "package",
	// -- snip --
}

Finally let's create a workflow so that we can publish a new version of our registry whenever there are changesets.

If you are publishing from a workflow make sure to create a token here and add it with the name JSREPO_TOKEN under Settings / Secrets and variables / Actions

.github/workflows/publish.yml

name: Publish
 
on:
    push:
        branches:
            - main
 
concurrency: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
 
jobs:
    release:
        name: Build & Publish Release
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
 
        steps:
            - uses: actions/checkout@v4
            - uses: pnpm/action-setup@v4
            - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
              with:
                  node-version: "20"
                  cache: pnpm
 
            - name: Install dependencies
              run: pnpm install
 
			- name: SvelteKit Sync
              run: pnpm sync
 
            - name: Create Release Pull Request or Publish
              id: changesets
              uses: changesets/action@v1
              with:
                  commit: "chore(release): version package"
                  title: "chore(release): version package"
                  publish: pnpm release:registry
              env:
                  JSREPO_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.JSREPO_TOKEN }} # !! DON'T FORGET THIS !!
                  GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
                  NODE_ENV: production

Now lets create a changeset:

pnpm changeset

Now once we commit our changeset to main changesets will automatically open a PR and version our package for us to create a release.
