@soufantech/node-js-lib-boilerplate

SouFan's JavaScript boilerplate for Node.js libraries

Setup

1. Make a shallow clone of this project in the desired folder, renaming it (replace <MY_LIB_NAME> in any of the examples below for your project's name):

• Using SSH: git clone --depth 1 git@github.com:soufantech/node-js-lib-boilerplate.git <MY_LIB_NAME>.
• Using HTTPS: git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/soufantech/node-js-lib-boilerplate.git <MY_LIB_NAME>.

2. Step into the recently cloned project and erase the .git directory completely.
3. Make the required and optional overrides as described further below.
4. Create a new repository with git init and commit your files.

Required overrides:

You must...

1. update author, repository, homepage, bugs, name and version fields in package.json.
2. delete or replace demo files: rm src/index.ts src/simple-math.ts src/__tests__/simple-math.test.ts.
3. rewrite this README.md (after reading it);

Optional overrides:

You might want to...

• set the license field (default is UNLICENSED). You may also include a LICENSE file on the root folder.
• set the publishConfig.accessto public if your package is not meant to be published as a private package.
• set the private field to false in order to publish the package.
• set the repository field.
• remove the test command along with the jest dependency if your project is not meant to include automated tests.
• run yarn upgrade --latest to generate a fresh yarn.lock and upgrade all dependencies listed in your package.json.
• exclude the .npmrc file or modify it if you're not using a SouFan NPM registry token (typically SOUFAN_NPM_TOKEN)

In addition to package.json, you might also want to check...

• the .npmignore file for the files that will be ignored on publishing.
• the test runner options on the jest.config.js file.
• the linter rules in the eslintrc.yml file.
• the general editor configuration on the .editorconfig file.
