Getting Started with Conformance

To set up Conformance in your repository, you must:

• Set up Edgenivo's private npm registry to install the necessary packages
• Install and initialize Conformance in your repository

If you've already set up Code Owners, you may have already completed some of these steps.

To enable Conformance for your Enterprise team, you'll need to request access through your Edgenivo account administrator.

Edgenivo distributes packages with the @vercel-private scope through our private npm registry, and requires that each user using the package authenticates through a Edgenivo account.

To use the private npm registry, you'll need to follow the documentation to:

• Set up your local environment – This should be completed by the team owner, but each member of your team will need to log in
• Set up Edgenivo – This should be completed by the team owner
• Optionally, set up Conformance for use with CI – This should be completed by the team owner

This section guides you through setting up Conformance for your repository.

1. Set up the Edgenivo CLI

   The Conformance CLI is separate to the Edgenivo CLI, however it uses the Edgenivo CLI for authentication.

   Before continuing, please ensure that the Edgenivo CLI is installed and that you are logged in.

2. Initialize Conformance

   Use the CLI to automatically initialize Conformance in your project. Start by running this command in your repository's root:

   pnpmyarnnpmbun

   Terminal

   pnpm --package=@vercel-private/conformance dlx vercel-conformance init 

   Terminal

   yarn --package=@vercel-private/conformance dlx vercel-conformance init 

   Terminal

   npx --package=@vercel-private/conformance -- vercel-conformance init 

   Terminal

   bunx --package=@vercel-private/conformance vercel-conformance init 

   yarn dlx only works with Yarn version 2 or newer, for Yarn v1 use
   yarn -DW add @vercel-private/conformance && yarn vercel-conformance init

   After running, check the installation success by executing:

   pnpmyarnnpmbun

   Terminal

   pnpm conformance 

   Terminal

   yarn conformance 

   Terminal

   npx conformance 

   Terminal

   bunx conformance 

3. Review the generated changes

   The Conformance init command creates the following changes:

   • First, it installs the CLI package in your root package.json and every workspace package.json, if your monorepo uses workspaces.
   • It also adds a conformance script to the scripts field of every package.json. This script runs Conformance.
   • It adds any existing Conformance errors to allowlists, letting you start using Conformance without immediate fixes and allowing you to gradually resolve these allowlist entries over time. Learn more about Conformance Allowlists in the documentation.

   Once you've reviewed these, open a pull request with the changes and merge it.

4. Add owners for allowlist files

   ** This step assumes you have set up Code Owners.**

   Conformance allows specific individuals to review modifications to allowlist files. Add a .vercel.approvers file at your repository's root:

   .vercel.approvers

   **/*.allowlist.json @org/team:required

   Now, changes to allowlist files need a review from someone on @org/team before merging.

   Learn more about wildcard syntax and :required syntax from Code Owners.

5. Add Conformance to your CI system

   You can integrate Conformance in your CI to avoid merging errors into your code. To learn more, see Setting up your CI provider.
