germs v0.1.9

germs

an opinionated hack-space for building things fast without spending a bunch of time setting things up

Installation

Installing germs as a dependency:

yarn install germs nps nps-utils -D or npm i germs nps nps-utils -D

Installing nps - a delightful build tool (optional but useful):

yarn install nps global or npm i nps -g

Using germs

Create a new file package-scripts.js, and place the following in it.

const germs = requⅰre("germs")
const {name} = requⅰre("package.json")
module.exports = germs(name)

Here is an example from germs own specific package-script.js file.

Opinions

germs relies on the following modules for a good build experience:

Build

• nps for build tasks

Compile

• babel for per-file conversion
• rollup for bundled conversion

Test

• jest for testing
• execa for testing CLI implementations
• dont-break for downstream testing

Quality of Life for Developers

• eslint for static analysis rules (static analysis rules!)
• documentation for automatic jsdoc > documentation generation
• madge for dependencies and graphs
• depcheck for (sometimes-unreliable) dependency checking
• updtr for automatic package updates
• husky for some commit conventions (use --no-verify to skip)

Commands

• nps dependencies.check - check dependencies
• nps dependencies.graph - generate a visual dependency graph
• nps dependencies.graphjson - generate a visual dependency graph in json
• nps dependencies.graphdot - generate a visual dependency graph in dot
• nps readme - regenerate the readme
• nps lint - lint both the js and the jsdoc
• nps lint.src - lint js files
• nps lint.jsdoc - lint jsdoc in files
• nps test - run all tests with coverage
• nps test.unit - run unit tests
• nps docs - auto regen the docs
• nps bundle - run the main bundle task
• nps build - convert files individually
• nps care - run all the things
• nps precommit - nps care

API

rollup

Parameters

• custom Object configuration
  • custom.name string name of project
  • custom.alias Object aliases to use in the project
  • custom.external Array an array of external dependencies
  • custom.alterPlugins Function an optional function which gets the plugins as input
  • custom.customize Function an optional function which allows you to alter all output

Examples

const pkg = require(`../package.json`)
const {rollup} = require(`../germs`)
const external = (
  pkg && pkg.dependencies ? Object.keys(pkg.dependencies) : []
)

module.exports = rollup({
  name: pkg.name,
  alias: {
    [`@tools`]: `./tools`
  },
  external
})

Returns Object config file for rollup

bundle

Parameters

• custom Object configuration
  • custom.name string name of project
  • custom.alias Object aliases to use in the project
  • custom.external Array an array of external dependencies

  • custom.customize Function an optional function which allows you to alter all output
  • custom.input string an input file
  • custom.output Object an output object
    • custom.output.file string an output file
    • custom.output.format string an output format
