Electrode Native CocoaPod Spec Container Publisher

[![ci][1]][2]

This publisher can be used to publish the CocoaPod spec of an iOS container to a remote Git pod spec repository. The Git repository provider should not matter (GitHub, BitBucket, TFS ...).

This publisher expect that the container is distributed as a precompiled XCFramework

In future updates of this publisher we may support other distribution formats based on new needs.

The target Git remote repository must exist. It will not be created by this publisher.

Usage

$3

#### Required

- --url/-u : URL of the remote Git repository (SSH or HTTPS) to publish to
- --publisher/-p : cocoapod-spec
- --platform : ios
- sourceRepoUrl should be set in the extra object payload (via -e option). It should point to the Git repository url where the container xcframework is stored.

#### Optional

- --containerPath : Path to the Container to publish.\
Defaults to the Electrode Native default iOS Container Generation path (~/.ern/containergen/out/ios if not changed through config)

- --containerVersion/-v : Version of the Container to publish.\
Default to 1.0.0

- branch : The name of the branch to publish to.\
Default to main

The ern publish-container CLI command can be used as follow to manually publish a Container using the cocoapod git publisher :

``sh
ern publish-container --containerPath [pathToContainer] -p cocoapod-spec -u [gitRepoUrl] -v [containerVersion] ---platform [android|ios] -e '{"branch":"[branch_name]"}'
`

- allowVersionOverwrite : A boolean flag to allow overwriting the version (tag). Defaults to false.

`sh
ern publish-container --containerPath [pathToContainer] -p cocoapod-spec -u [gitRepoUrl] -v [containerVersion] ---platform [android|ios] -e '{"allowVersionOverwrite": true}'
`

$3

#### Required

- --publisher/-p : cocoapod-spec
- --url/-u : URL of the remote Git repository (SSH or HTTPS) to publish to
- sourceRepoUrl should be set in the extra object payload. It should point to the Git repository url where the container xcframework is stored.

#### Optional

- branch : The name of the branch to publish to.\
Please note that the branch needs to be created manually before hand in the remote repo. Defaults to main

- allowVersionOverwrite : A boolean flag to allow overwriting the version (tag).\
Defaults to false.

To automatically publish Cauldron generated Containers of a target native application and platform, the ern cauldron add publisher command can be used as follow:

`sh
ern cauldron add publisher -p cocoapod-spec -u [gitRepoUrl] -e '{"branch":"[branch_name]"}'
`

This will result in the following publisher entry in Cauldron :

`json
{
"name": "cocoapod-spec",
"url": "[gitRepoUrl]",
"extra": {
"branch": "[branch_name]",
"allowVersionOverwrite": "[allowVersionOverwrite]",
"sourcRepoUrl": "[sourceRepoUrl]"
}
}
`

This is only needed once. Once the configuration for the publisher is stored in Cauldron, any new Cauldron generated Container will be published to Git.

`js
import GitPublisher from 'ern-container-publisher-cocoapod-spec'
const publisher = new CocoaPodGitPublisher()
publisher.publish({
/ Local file system path to the Container /
containerPath,
/ Version of the Container. Will result in a Git tag. /
containerVersion,
/ Remote Git repository url (ssh or https) /
url,
/ Extra config specific to this publisher /
extra?: {
/ Name of the branch to publish to /
branch?: string
/ Allow version (tag) overwrite /
allowVersionOverwrite?: boolean
/ Source repository url [REQUIRED] /
sourceRepoUrl: string
}
})
