Afterward, for a list of all available commands run npm run.

For all packages

• npm run build - builds all distributions of every package with ultra, inside each package builds are done in parallel with npm-run-all. Output is errors only.
• npm run build:esm, npm run build:cjs, npm run build:bundled - as as the above but only one of our target distributions.
• npm run dev:esm, npm run dev:cjs, npm run dev:bundled - runs the appropriate watch command in all packages.

How to add a new package

• In /packages, create a new folder with your desired new package name
• Each package will have it’s own local package.json and tsconfig.json if using typescript
• Create a folder in your new package called src in which your code will be defined
• After creating your custom package, go to the root package.json, under the property workspaces, add the title of your custom package
• Run npm build:esm
• Check in the root node_modules/@esri that your new custom package has been added
• Go into /demos, create a new folder and title what you want to call your demo
• Add a local package.json in your new demo folder. Add your custom package name as a dependency and be sure to have at least these properties in your package.json, dependency, name, version, - description, license, type, main, scripts, and author.
• Add a .gitignore in the root level of your demo folder that ignore node_modules. Be sure to ignore an env file as well if your demo is using any personal keys or tokens.
• Run mpm install within the /demos directory and make sure your demo folder has it's own local node_modules.
• In your demo/index, import your custom package.
• To run your demo be sure to have script that has a property start in your demo directory and your script is pointing to the correct index file.
• Run npm run start while being in your /demos/custom-demo directory.
• Add a readme describing your demo.
