Fabien O'Carroll 1bdc11eee3 Added new release script for Portal
This will be used for search and comments too, but I want to start with just
one app to get things going. Key things the script does:

 - Enforces that we're not on main & have clean working dir
 - Creates a well structured commit message w/ basic changelog
 - Updates the package.json and default config

The script explicitly does not push anything to GitHub or to NPM, giving us
more control about the contents of the commit

# Portal
[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/%40tryghost%2Fportal.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/js/%40tryghost%2Fportal)
[Drop-in script](https://ghost.org/help/setting-up-portal/) to make the bulk of Ghost membership features work on any theme.
## Usage
Ghost automatically injects Portal script on all sites running Ghost 4 or higher.
Alternatively, Portal can be enabled on non-ghost pages directly by inserting the below script on the page.
```html
<script defer src="https://unpkg.com/@tryghost/portal@latest/umd/portal.min.js" data-ghost="https://mymemberssite.com"></script>
```
The `data-ghost` attribute expects the URL for your Ghost site, which is the only input Portal needs to work with your site's membership data via Ghost APIs.
### Custom trigger button
By default, the script adds a default floating trigger button on the bottom right of your page which is used to trigger the popup on screen.
Its possible to add custom trigger button of your own by adding data attribute `data-portal` to any HTML tag on page, and also specify a specific [page](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/blob/main/ghost/portal/src/pages.js#L13-L22) to open from it by using it as `data-portal=signup`.
The script also adds custom class names to this element for open and close state of popup - `gh-portal-open` and `gh-portal-close`, allowing devs to update its UI based on popup state.
Refer the [docs](https://ghost.org/help/setup-members/#customize-portal-settings) to read about ways in which Portal can be customized for your site.
## Develop
Run Portal within the Ghost monorepo with:
```
yarn dev --portal
```
Alternatively, use `yarn dev --all` to load Portal and other supported apps/services, see [dev.js](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/blob/main/.github/scripts/dev.js) for more information.
---
To run Portal in a standalone fashion, use `yarn start` and open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
## Build
To create a production minified bundle in `umd/portal.min.js`:
```
yarn build
```
## Test
To run tests in watch mode:
```
yarn test
```
### Ghost e2e browser tests
Portal is primarily tested via Ghost's e2e browser tests. In order to test against your local changes rather than the last published package on npm you need to have the local portal build being served and to configure Ghost to use the local URL.
1. Run `yarn dev` in `ghost/apps/portal` to serve the local portal build on http://localhost:4175/portal.min.js
2. Run the Ghost e2e tests in `ghost/core`, providing an ENV variable to override the portal URL:
```
portal__url=http://localhost:4175/portal.min.js STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID=acct_xxx STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_test_xxx STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_xxx yarn test:browser:portal
```
## Release
A patch release can be rolled out instantly in production, whereas a minor/major release requires the Ghost monorepo to be updated and released. In either case, you need sufficient permissions to release `@tryghost` packages on NPM.
If you're releasing new code that should not immediately go live _always_ use a minor or major version when publishing.
In order to have Ghost's e2e tests run against the new code on CI or to test the new code in staging, you need to publish to npm following the Minor / major release process below.
### Patch release
1. Run `yarn ship` and select a patch version when prompted
2. Merge the release commit to `main`
### Minor / major release
1. Run `yarn ship` and select a minor or major version when prompted
2. Merge the release commit to `main`
3. Wait until a new version of Ghost is released
### JsDelivr cache
If the CI doesn't clear JsDelivr cache to get the new version out instantly, you may want to do it yourself manually ([docs](https://www.notion.so/ghost/How-to-clear-jsDelivr-CDN-cache-2930bdbac02946eca07ac23ab3199bfa?pvs=4)). Typically, you'll need to open `https://purge.jsdelivr.net/ghost/portal@~${PORTAL_VERSION}/umd/portal.min.js` and
`https://purge.jsdelivr.net/ghost/portal@~${PORTAL_VERSION}/umd/main.css` in your browser, where `PORTAL_VERSION` is the latest minor version in `ghost/core/core/shared/config/defaults.json` ([code](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/blob/0aef3d3beeebcd79a4bfd3ad27e0ac67554b5744/ghost/core/core/shared/config/defaults.json#L185))
