**Motivation** Make the types exports consistent for all packages. All modern runtimes support [conditional exports](https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#conditional-exports) and there are caveats when we have both conditional exports and normal exports present in a package.json. This PR tend to make all exports follow same consistent and modern pattern. **Description** - We were using subpath exports for some packages and module exports for other - Keep all the types export consistent as subpath exports. - Remove "types" and "exports` directive from package.json - Remove `typesVersions`, this is useful only if we have different version of types for different versions of Typescript. Or having different types files for different file paths. **Steps to test or reproduce** - Run all CI
lodestar-params
This package is part of ChainSafe's Lodestar project
Lodestar defines all constants and presets defined in the Ethereum Consensus spec. This can be used in conjunction with other Lodestar libraries to interact with the Ethereum consensus.
Installation
npm install @lodestar/params
Usage
The Lodestar params package contains several items used in all downstream Lodestar libraries:
- Fork names
- Constants
- Presets
Fork names
Many downstream components are namespaced on fork names, or otherwise rely on knowing the fork names ahead of time. The Lodestar params package exports an enum ForkName the enumerates all known fork names.
import {ForkName} from "@lodestar/params";
// dummy data
let forkName = "phase0";
switch (forkName) {
case ForkName.phase0:
case ForkName.altair:
case ForkName.bellatrix:
default:
}
Constants
All constants defined in the spec are exported verbatim.
import {GENESIS_SLOT} from "@lodestar/params";
Presets
Presets are defined in the spec as "constantish" and can only be configured at build-time. These are meant to be treated as constants, and indeed are treated as constants by all downstream Lodestar libraries. The default preset is mainnet. The only other preset defined is minimal, used only in testing environments.
The active preset is exported under the ACTIVE_PRESET named export.
import {ACTIVE_PRESET, SLOTS_PER_EPOCH} from "@lodestar/params";
The preset may be set in one of two ways:
- by setting the
LODESTAR_PRESETenvironment variable - by executing the
setActivePreset(preset: Preset)function
Important Notes:
- Interacting with and understanding the active preset is only necessary in very limited testing environments, like for ephemeral testnets
- The
minimalpreset is NOT compatible with themainnetpreset. - using
setActivePresetmay be dangerous, and only should be run once before loading any other libraries. All downstream Lodestar libraries expect the active preset to never change. - Preset values can be overridden by executing
setActivePreset(presetName: PresetName, overrides?: Partial<BeaconPreset>)and supplying values to override. - The Lodestar CLI exposes
setActivePresetthrough--presetFileflag which allows to override the active preset with custom values from file.
