The Kinvey JavaScript SDK core is a package that can be used to develop JavaScript applications on the Kinvey platform. The Kinvey JavaScript SDK core is intended used as a way to share common code across different Kinvey JavaScript SDK builds.

The simplest way to build the sdk is by running gulp. More advanced tasks are available.

• gulp bump: bump the pacakge version
• gulp build: build the sdk
• gulp clean: remove files created by the build process
• gulp release: release a new version of the sdk

The following flags are available when running gulp bump:

• --type <major|minor|patch|prerelease>: Bumps the package version using the Semantic Version 2.0.0 spec. Defaults to patch.
• --version <version>: Sets the package version to the provided version.

You can run the tests using npm test.

The workflow for releasing a new version of the sdk is as follows:

1. Commit all changes on the develop branch.
2. Checkout the master branch and merge the develop branch.
3. Update the Changelog.
4. Run gulp bump --type <type> replacing <type> with major, minor, patch, or prerelease. See Flags above.
5. Make sure all changes are committed on the master branch and push.

Updating the sdk version should follow Semantic Version 2.0.0:

• Major (x.0.0): when making incompatible API changes.
• Minor (3.x.0): when adding functionality in a backwards-compatible manner.
• Patch (3.0.x): when making backwards-compatible bug fixes or enhancements.
