Development: environment setup

To setup the development environment for this repository, follow these steps:

1. Clone this package.
2. Run npm install to install dependencies
3. Run npm run bootstrap to bootstrap project
4. Run npm run build to build packages
5. Run npm run test to run tests

Development: adding dependencies

This repo uses Lerna hoisting for package dependencies.

In order to install a new dependency to a package, the lerna add command must be used, rather than npm install <package>.

For example, the following command installs lodash as a dependency to the @stacks/storage package:

# Run within the root directory
npm run lerna -- add lodash --scope @stacks/storage

Add --dev to install as a development dependency:

npm run lerna -- add lodash --scope @stacks/storage --dev
