@bayoopesanya/newproject v1.5.1

newproject

A simple cli tool to generate boilerplate folder structure for new projects.

Why Did I Create This Module?

After working on my first feature for Eyowo, I realized that I would have to go through the process of checking out of branches, creating files and folders, and installing dependencies for every new feature I was going to implement. This package is a way to automate the process.

What does it do?

1. It checks out of the current branch into the branch you specify as feature name.

2. It creates a folder with the name you specified as the feature name.

3. It creates folders with the following names:

   • config: where to store configuration files
   • controllers: where to store controller functions
   • helpers: where to store helper functions
   • models: where to store database models
   • test: where your unit tests should be

4. It installs the following modules:

   • eslint: for linting
   • jest: for unit testing
   • eslint-config-airbnb-base: to make eslint use the airbnb standard for Javascript linting
   • eslint-plugin-import: to make eslint use the airbnb standard for Javascript linting
   • grpc: npm grpc module
   • @grpc/proto-loader: to load .proto files
   • dotenv: npm module to work with environment variables
   • joi: for function input validation

5. It creates a .env file for environment variables.

6. It creates a .gitignore file

How To Use

1. run npm install @bayoopesanya/newproject.

2. run npx newfeature <feature name>.

3. run cd <feature name> and start coding!
