Create Boilerplate CLI

A command line interface tool to create boilerplate for react.js and node.js projects.

Less time setting up the tooling, more time developing.

Every time I started a project with react.js or node.js, I had to set up a several tooling, such as Prettier, ESLint, etc.

I decided to create a tool for myself that will set those up for me automatically from a few questions.

• Supports react.js and node.js projects, with or without TypeScript
• Sets up ESLint, Prettier while taking into account for TypeScript
• stylefmt and stylelint
• Sets up Husky pre-commit and commit message hooks
• Sets up lint-staged
• Sets up nodemon for node.js projects

The script is written in Ruby, simply because it is enjoyable to write with and it comes pre-installed on macOS (my OS of preference).

Must have the following installed:

• Ruby >= 2.6
• NPM >= 5.2.0

Run the command and answer the prompts.

gem install init-boilerplate

Navigate to a fresh directory where you want to start your project and run the following command.

init-boilerplate

• Add Git boilerplate
  • README outline, templates, etc.
• Create and publish Ruby Gem
