mknode v1.0.7

mknode

Bootstrap Node.js projects with TypeScript, ESLint, Prettier and Docker

Overview

Tired of the tedious process of setting up NPM packages with all the necessary components, I developed a convenient tool to streamline the process. It uses my preferred configurations by default, but can be easily customized.

Although cloning a base repository, modifying package.json fields, and running npm update is an option, this tool allows you to get setup with a single command. It also offers the advantage of installing the latest versions of dependencies (unless specified otherwise), without being limited by the version ranges in the base repository's package.json.

Upon installation, you can find the configuration data for each file in ~/.config/mknode.json. To modify the data for new projects, simply edit this file. For instance, to include nodemon in every project, add nodemon to the devDependencies array. Keep in mind that installing a new version of this package will overwrite any changes you've made.

Installation

npm i -g mknode

Or use with npx:

npx mknode

Usage

The CLI works like npm init. Just execute the following command and follow the prompts:

mknode

Or skip the prompts:

mknode -y
