−− Generate your own ESNext/StandardJS/UnitTest Ready Generators −−

Demo example

Check out the following repository to see what a project generated with generate-swap-generator looks like out the box:

https://github.com/sirap-group/generate-swap-generator-example

Installation

Global install to use the generator as a standarlone CLI (recommanded)

$ yarn gobal add generate-swap-generator

or

$ npm install --global generate-swap-generator

Local install to use as a generate plugin or sub-generator

You should first visit the generator framework, generate to understand how generators, subgenerators and plugins work.

$ yarn add generate-swap-generator

or

$ npm install --save generate-swap-generator

Usage

As a standalone generator (recommanded)

$ generate-swap-generator

Should scaffold the project in the destination path you choose when asked.

As a generate plugin (if you know what you are doing)

You should first visit the generator framework, generate to understand how generators, subgenerators and plugins work.

import generateSwapGenerator from 'generate-swap-generator'
import isValid from 'is-valid-app'

export default function (app) {
  if (!isValid(app, 'generate-my-generator')) return

  app.use(generateSwapGenerator)

  // ... your generator's stuff
}

Then you can use directly any generate-swap-generator tasks as a generate-my-generator task.

$ gen my-generator:keywords

Should run generate-swap-generator:keywords on your own generator instance.

As a generate sub-generator (if you know what you are doing)

You should first visit the generator framework, generate to understand how generators, subgenerators and plugins work.

import generateSwapGenerator from 'generate-swap-generator'
import isValid from 'is-valid-app'

export default function (app) {
  if (!isValid(app, 'generate-my-generator')) return

  app.register('swap-generator', generateSwapGenerator)

  // ... your generator's stuff
}

Then you can acces easily any generate-swap-generator tasks as a generate-my-generator sub-generator task.

$ gen my-generator.swap-generator:keywords

Should run generate-swap-generator:keywords on your own generator instance.

API

Contributing

Codebase

The codebase is written using the ESNext Specification (ECMAScript Stage 0), following the StandardJS Code Style

We use:

• Yarn to handle npm dependencies,
• ESNext CLI to transform ESx code to ESNext,
• Babel CLI to transpile ESNext code to node/browser compatible javascript,
• And Standard CLI + ESLint to lint or format ESNext codebase.

Contribution guide

See the contribution guide in a separated document.

Development

Global dependencies

Get the latest node engine (example with nvm):

$ nvm install lts/carbon

Install yarn from npm (for development only):

$ npm install --global yarn

All the rest of the development dependencies are local.

Clone and install

Clone the repo and install dependencies:

$ git clone [e-mail]:sirap-group/generate-swap-generator.git
$ cd generate-swap-generator
$ yarn install

Running test

Finally, run the test pipeline:

$ yarn pipeline:test

Develop in BDD mode

B.D.D. means Behavior-Driven-Development

The project is ready to code in BDD mode. Just run the bdd yarn command:

$ yarn bdd

The project will be lint, built, the BDD unit tests will be run, and the process will watch for any file changes to loop over the previous tasks (lint, build, test, watch).

Releasing a new version

The task yarn pipeline:build generate a ./dist folder in the repository's root directory but this folder is not part of the git repository (there is an entry in the .gitignore file). However the dist folder is included in the package.json#files field.

Thus to release a new, lets say, "patch" version, just run:

$ yarn release:patch

The whole build pipeline is run locally (lint, transpile, test) and then a new git tag and a new npm tag are pushed up.
