@jspsych/new-extension v0.1.5

@jspsych/new-extension

This package allows you to start building an extension in any directory by simply running npx @jspsych/new-extension from the command line.

You will be prompted to enter a name for your extension, a description, the name of the author, an optional link to the author's GitHub profile, the preferred language (TypeScript or JavaScript) for your extension, and an optional link to a README.md file for your extension. Your template package containing boilerplate code will then be automatically generated in your current working directory.

!NOTE If you are running this command in the jspsych-contrib repository, you will not be prompted to enter a README.md link. It will be generated automatically, and your template package will also be automatically generated under the ./packages folder.

In the generated package, you will find a ./docs folder containing a markdown file for you to fill in technical information about your extension, e.g. additional parameters it takes in and the data it generates. You will also find an ./examples folder where you can write simple scripts to demonstrate the functionality your extension provides. The file that contains your actual extension code should be the index.js file under the ./src folder. Lastly, we also provide a package.json for you to list metadata about your extension so that it can be easily published to a registry like npm, a README.md and a CITATION.cff file. If you plan to publish your extension, we highly recommend filling out the CITATION.cff file as it allows your extension's users to easily cite your extension.
