Default Template

This is a script to bootstrap a new lib with all the files needed to begin.

Files

It will copy the files located in /files directly:

  • .babelrc
  • .eslintignore
  • .eslintrc
  • .gitignore
  • .prettierignore
  • .prettierrc
  • .travis.yml
  • jest.config.js

Templates

It will populate placeholders for files within the /templates directory with data from author.config.js and the name of the project you will supply via the prompt when you run the script.

  • LICENSE.md
  • package.json
  • README.md
  • rollup.config.js

Note

  • NPM seems to have an issue with including a file called package.json and silently fails to copy it and any remaining files in the templates/ dir. To work around this and for clarity, all files in the templates/ should use a .template. extension before any of their own extensions. This extension will be removed when the files are copied over.
  • NPM refuses to include the .gitignore in the files dir in the bundle. For the time being this must be copied manually.

Install

Install the package globally with:

yarn global add @undistraction/default-template

Run from the command line from inside the root directory of a new project.

default-template-init

Customising

If you want to use for your own projects:

  • fork.
  • rename the package.
  • add your own details to author.config.js.
  • edit or add files to /files and /templates.
  • 'npm publish'
  • install as a global package
  • use default-template-init in the root of a project as outlined above.

Notes

  • The script will not overwrite anything. If it finds that a file already exists, it will quit with an error containing the filepath of the problematic file.

  • The script uses process.cwd() as the target destination which will be whatever directory the script is called from.

  • Files inside the /templates dir can have tokens added in the form: #{name}. The script uses author.config.js to replace these tokens, and uses a flattened key path as the key value, so the key will be author.github.username and this should be used as the token name.

Maintainance

Preview

To see what files NPM will include:

npm pack

This will create a tarball in the root dir.
