@teamspirit/create-app v1.0.13

@teamspirit/create-app

A Command Line Interface (CLI) tool to quickly set up new TypeScript projects based on pre-defined Bitbucket boilerplates.

Features

• Interactive prompts for selecting boilerplates and entering credentials.
• Clones private Bitbucket repositories using HTTPS and app passwords.
• Supports multiple boilerplates configurable via boilerplates.json.
• Allows specifying a custom output directory for the new project.
• Checks if the target directory already exists to prevent overwrites.
• Shows progress during the cloning stage.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14 or higher recommended)
• npm
• Git
• A Bitbucket account with access to the boilerplate repositories.
• A Bitbucket app password with Repositories: Read permissions.

Bitbucket App Password

It is strongly recommended to use a Bitbucket App Password instead of your main account password for security.

When creating the app password in Bitbucket, grant it the following permissions:

• Repositories: Read

This is the minimum permission required for the tool to clone the boilerplate repositories.

Installation & Usage

The easiest way to use @teamspirit/create-app is with npx, which will download and run the latest version automatically:

npx @teamspirit/create-app

The CLI will then guide you through the following prompts:

1. Select Boilerplate: Choose from the available boilerplates (e.g., "App Router", "Pages Router").
   • These are defined in the boilerplates.json file within the package.
2. Bitbucket Username: Enter your Bitbucket username.
3. Bitbucket App Password: Enter your Bitbucket app password (input will be hidden).
4. Project Name: Enter the desired name for your new project directory.
5. Custom Output Directory?: Optionally specify a different parent directory for your new project.
   • If yes, you'll be prompted to enter the path to the output directory.

Example Flow:

$ npx @teamspirit/create-app
? Which boilerplate do you want to use? › App Router
? Enter your Bitbucket username: your_username
? Enter your Bitbucket app password: [hidden]
? Enter the name for your new project: my-awesome-app
? Do you want to specify a custom output directory? (Default: current directory) › No

🔄 Preparing to clone boilerplate...
🔄 Cloning teamspiritdigital/nextjs-boilerplate-approuter into ./my-awesome-app
✅ Done! Your new app is ready in ./my-awesome-app

Project created successfully!

Next steps:
  cd my-awesome-app
  npm install (or yarn install)
  npm start (or yarn start)

Configuration

Boilerplates (boilerplates.json)

The available boilerplates are defined in a boilerplates.json file that is packaged with this tool. It maps a user-friendly name to a Bitbucket repository path (without the .git extension and Bitbucket domain).

Example boilerplates.json:

{
  "App Router": "yourteam/app-router-boilerplate",
  "Pages Router": "yourteam/pages-router-boilerplate"
}
