Add releaser config

[jtpio]

Fixes #147

TODO

• Add the Releaser config
• Bump version script to update the Python package and npm packages

[hbcarlos]

Maybe we should change the default branch to main.

Maybe we should change the default branch to main.

Sounds good 👍

For the bump version script maybe we can keep it simple and have something that takes the version as is and sets the same for both the Python package and the JS packages.

Instead of having the patch / minor / major flow of going through alpha -> beta -> rc -> final.

Thanks for working on this Jeremy.

CI is green now.

Is it ready?
I can take a look and merge tonight.

For bumping the version with the releaser we can use two options with the current bump-version.py script:

• next:
  • to increment a patch release, for example from 0.2.0 to 0.2.1
  • to increment a pre-release, for example from 0.3.0a0 to 0.3.0a1
• a version directly
  • for example we are currently on 0.2.0 and we can pass 0.3.0a0 directly for the next pre-release,

JS packages are formatted based on the Python version.

Is it ready?

I think so. I wanted to do the branch rename to main first but don't have access to that section in the settings:

Also we need to create a PyPI token for voila-gridstack and add it to the PYPI_TOKEN_MAP: https://jupyter-releaser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how_to_guides/convert_repo.html#checklist-for-adoption

Wow! Thank you so much!
We can rename the branch tomorrow in another PR.
