Registry Style Guide

caution

If you develop your custom registry, you don't have to conform to this style guide. But the guide would be useful to write good and consistent configuration.

Format with prettier

$ npm i -g prettier
$ prettier -w registry.yaml

Remove spaces in the template {{ and }}

asset: tfcmt_{{.OS}}_{{.Arch}}.tar.gz

asset: tfcmt_{{ .OS }}_{{ .Arch }}.tar.gz

Remove characters .! from the end of the description

Remove unneeded quotes of strings

Avoid if and for statement in templates

format: tar.gz
overrides:
- goos: windows
format: zip

👎

asset: 'foo.{{if eq .GOOS "windows"}}zip{{else}}tar.gz{{end}}'

version_overrides Style Guide

e.g.

# Latest setting
version_constraint: semver(">= 5.0.0")
version_overrides:
- version_constraint: semver(">= 4.0.0")
# ...
- version_constraint: semver(">= 3.0.0")
# ...
- version_constraint: semver("< 3.0.0") # Oldest setting

If the format is raw, files[].src isn't needed

👍

format: raw
files:
- name: swagger

👎

format: raw
files:
- name: swagger
src: swagger_{{.OS}}_{{.Arch}} # unneeded

Omit the setting which is equivalent to the default value

When repo_owner and repo_name are set, you can omit some attributes.

👍

repo_owner: weaveworks
repo_name: eksctl

👎

repo_owner: weaveworks
repo_name: eksctl
name: weaveworks/eksctl
link: https://github.com/weaveworks/eksctl
files:
- name: eksctl

Use aliases only for keeping the compatibility

Please see here

Use supported_envs rather than supported_if

Please see the caution.

Select type according to the following order

  1. github_release
  2. github_content
  3. github_archive
  4. http
  5. go_install
  6. go_build

For example, you can also use http type to install the package from GitHub Releases, but in that case you should use github_release rather than http.

cargo package name should be crates.io/<crate name>

Please see here.
