javascript-project-boilerplate

javascript-project-boilerplate

An opinionated, extremely-bare-bones JavaScript project template.

Why did you make this?

Mostly to save myself time. With this boilerplate, I can create a starting point for JS projects very quickly, and not have to worry about transpilation, using import/export in Node environments, etc.

How do I use it?

1. Do yarn global add javascript-project-boilerplate
2. Go to the dir in which you'd like to init a new project
3. Do javascript-project-boilerplate

Once installed, you can run start to run the project from the entry point (index.js), build to transpile the src directory to a dist directory, or lint.

Notes

Requires Node >=9

You can use this in a non-empty git repository, if you'd like. This allows you to clone an empty repo, do your yarn init to create a basic package.json with your author/repo details, and then do javascript-project-boilerplate. The boilerplate's package.json will be merged with your pre-existing package.json (giving preference to the existing file).
