What's changed? See generator-esmodules-generator releases

🏠 Homepage

The generator-esmodules-generator provides a structure to create a yeoman generator using ES Modules.

The structure created by this generator includes:

Jest
Babel with @babel/cli, @babel/core, @babel/plugin-transform-runtime, @babel/preset-env, @babel/runtime-corejs3 and core-js
Eslint with eslint-config-prettier, eslint-config-standard, eslint-plugin-jest, eslint-plugin-jsdoc, etc.
Prettier with prettier-plugin-jsdoc
Lint-staged
Faker
Commitlint
Readme-md-generator
Husky
Others

Example of a generator created by generator-esmodules-generator:

esmodules-generator

Installation

First, install Yeoman and generator-esmodules-generator using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-esmodules-generator

Then generate your new project:

yo esmodules-generator generator_name

Prerequisites

First, you must create a folder, then you enter it using the terminal. Finally you runs.

yo esmodules-generator generator_test

Example:

PS C:\Users\...\generator_es6> yo esmodules-generator generator_test

Arguments and options

The generator-esmodules-generator include only an argument called generatorName and it is required:

For example: If you want to create a new generator called generator_test (generatorName = generator_test), you should use:

yo esmodules-generator generator_test

The generator-esmodules-generator include various options, these are:

Generators included

The generators included are:

esmodules-generator:app used by yo esmodules-generator: It is the generator used by default.

esmodules-generator:subgenerator: It is used to create and exports subgenerators into the generator created by yo esmodules-generator.

When to enter in the folder where you creates your generator using yo esmodules-generator, you can use the following commands:

yo esmodules-generator:subgenerator subGeneratorName --create: Creates a subgenerator with name subGeneratorName.

yo esmodules-generator:subgenerator subGeneratorName --exports: Exports subGeneratoName. It adds to exports field (package.json) the properties types (exports the declaration files) and import (exports the subgenerator as ES Modules).

Example:

In default package.json created by esmodules-generator

"exports": {
  ".": {
    "types": "./dist/types/generators/app/index.d.ts",
    "import": "./dist/generators/app/index.js"
  },
  "./app": {
    "types": "./dist/types/generators/app/index.d.ts",
    "import": "./dist/generators/app/index.js"
  }
}

The --create and --exports options can be combined.

PS C:\Users\...\generator_es6> yo esmodules-generator:subgenerator subapp --create --exports

package.json

"exports": {
  ".": {
    "types": "./dist/types/generators/app/index.d.ts",
    "import": "./dist/generators/app/index.js"
  },
  "./app": {
    "types": "./dist/types/generators/app/index.d.ts",
    "import": "./dist/generators/app/index.js"
  },
  "./subapp": {
    "types": "./dist/types/generators/subapp/index.d.ts",
    "import": "./dist/generators/subapp/index.js"
  }
},

The configuration files

The configuration files included are:

Eslint: .eslintignore (the files and directories ignored by eslint) and .eslintrc.json (configuration used by eslint).
Git: .gitignore (the files and directories ignored by git).
Lint-staged: .lintstagedrc.json (configuration used by lint-staged).
Prettier: .prettierignore (the files and directories ignored by prettier) and .prettierrc.json (configuration used by prettier).
Babel: babel.config.json (configuration used by babel):
- The env.buildESmodules contains the configuration used to transpile the source code to es6.
Commitlint: commitlint.config.js (configuration used by commitlint).
Jest: jest.config.js (configuration used by jest).
TypeScript: tsconfig.json (configuration used by TypeScript compiler).

The question: Do you want to automatically run the scripts that configure the package, then installing the dependencies?

When you selects the true value, the following scripts ubicated in the package.json are executed:

init
documentation:create
format:fix
test
build

If you selects the false value, you must run npm run init obligatory.

The scripts in package.json

The more important scripts added into the package.json created by this generator are:

"init": Runs the commands necessary to initialize the package, for example init:husky.
"documentation:create": Creates documentation using readme-md-generator.
"format": Checks the format using prettier.
"format:fix": Fixes the format using prettier.
"format:build-stage" and "format:build-stage:fix": similar to "format" and "format:fix". They used when the npm run build is called.
"lint": static code analysis using eslint.
"lint:fix": Fixes the code using eslint.
"lint:build-stage" and "lint:build-stage:fix": similar to "lint" and "lint:fix". They are used when the npm run build is called.
"build:tsc": Generates .d.ts files using the TypeScript compilator. It is used when the npm run build is called.
"build:es6": Transpiles the source code to es6 using babel.
"build": Generates the dist folder that contains the generators folder (it contains the source code transpiled to es6) and types folder (it contains the declaration files). If you want to manually test your generator you should use npm link and npm run build. See yeoman Running the generator
"prepublishOnly": Used before publishing your package using npm publish. Runs npm run build.
"test": Runs the tests using jest.
"commitlint": Runs commitlint. It is used into .husky/commit-msg file. It is called by the commit-msg hook. See git hook.
"lint-staged": Runs lint-staged. It is used into .husky/pre-commit file. It is called by the pre-commit hook. See git hook.
"quality-check": Runs npm run format && npm run lint && npm run test. It is used into .husky/pre-push file. It is called by the pre-push hook See git hook.

Getting To Know Yeoman

Yeoman has a heart of gold.
Yeoman is a person with feelings and opinions, but is very easy to work with.
Yeoman can be too opinionated at times but is easily convinced not to be.
