✨ Features

Stack allows creating an NPM project in a quick, easy and opinionated way with:

• A unified monorepo-driven and git-driven approach for all kinds of projects (single-purpose library, multiple libraries, application(s), ...)
• Support for several application templates (for now, only a default template is available, but others can be added later)
• Standardized file structure including optional folder creation such as examples, packages, ...
• Enable all project lifecycle steps with commands from the setup, check, fix, build, and test to the versioning and release
• Built-in configuration preset setup (including Node/NPM runtime, Git ignore/hooks, TypeScript, ESLint, Prettier, EditorConfig, Renovate, Changesets, and VSCode)
• A welcoming environment for users and contributors with the continuous integration setup, and the creation of README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and GitHub template files (including issue and pull request ones), ...
• An optimized development environment with command caching (no build needed if nothing changes)

🚀 Usage

This section introduces the stack essentials by walking through its main commands:

1️⃣ Create the NPM project via the @adbayb/create initializer:

# Npm
npm init @adbayb
# Pnpm
pnpm create @adbayb

2️⃣ Play with available commands (already set up in the generated root package.json):

# Setup initial requirements (including Git hooks installation)
stack install
# Clean the project
stack clean
# Check code health (static analysis including linters, types, and commit message)
stack check
# Fix auto-fixable issues
stack fix
# Start the project in production mode
stack start
# Build the project in production mode
stack build
# Build and start the project in development mode
stack watch
# Test the code execution
stack test
# Log, version, and publish package(s)
stack release

3️⃣ Enjoy!

Used technologies

• Static code analysis: ESLint, Prettier
• Node package manager: PNPM
• Task orchestration: Turborepo
• Release: Changesets
• Testing: Vitest

Used conventions

• Commits
• Scripts
• File Structure
  • Monorepo-first structure to:
    • Keep a consistent file structure pattern across templates (ease template familiarity and onboarding)
    • Ease examples setup
    • Not clutter the published package with development-related context, metadata, and artifacts

👣 Roadmap

• [ ] stack check: Lint packages (caret range for dependencies and strict ones for dev dependencies)
