fast-bake

Helper scripts for assembling backend typescript project.

Hides all setup steps for typescript, jest, prettier, eslint (etc) and have them unified in one place.

Usage

$ mkdir my-backend // create new directory
$ cd my-backend
$ npx fast-bake init // run "init" to copy template project
$ yarn build // build project with fast-bake scripts

This would bootstrap backend express with fast-bake build scripts.

Installation

Adding to existing codebase:

yarn add fast-bake

Modify package.json to execute required scripts:

{
    "scripts": {
        "build": "fast-bake build",
        "test": "fast-bake test",
        "start": "fast-bake start",
        "lint": "fast-bake lint"
    }
}

Add required tsconfig.json file with contents:

{
    "extends": "fast-bake/configs/tsconfig.json",
    "include": ["src/**/*.ts"]
}

Build script

• transpile all sources in src/ folder and write js files into dist/
• src/index.ts is required
• tsconfig.json is required (so far)

Test script

• Runs yarn lint in Check mode to notify about mistakes
• Runs jest for all default test files in src/ folder in watch mode
• If env.CI is set, watch mode would not be enabled

Start script

Parallel processes executed:

• nodemon for dist/ folder and it would run dist/index.js with delay
• tsc in watch mode (same as for build step)

Lint script

Runs eslint and prettier for src/ folder and apply style and formatting changes

Init script

Copies sample project structure from template folder into current folder.

Development

Heavily inspired by react-scripts.

Some code approaches reused.
