Yeoman generator to create quality npm packages with eslint, prettier, commitlint, husky, babel and other tools.

🏠 Homepage

The generator-quality-npm-package provides a structure to create a npm package similar to that used in the: @cljmenez/json-serializer-vue-localstorage-reactive, @cljimenez/json-serializer-core and @cljimenez/json-serializer-base-serializers. 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
• Rollup with @rollup/plugin-babel, @rollup/plugin-node-resolve and rollup-plugin-dts
• Readme-md-generator
• Husky
• Others

Example of a npm package generated by generator-quality-npm-package:

This generator uses rollup to create the dist folder. The packages publishes by this generator are exported using the following structure:

package.json

"main": "./dist/cjs/index.cjs",
"types": "./dist/types/index.d.ts",
"exports": {
  "types": "./dist/types/index.d.ts",
  "import": "./dist/esm/index.mjs",
  "require": "./dist/cjs/index.cjs"
},
"files": [
  "dist"
]

Installation

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

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-quality-npm-package

Then generate your new project:

yo quality-npm-package

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.buildCommonjs contains the configuration used to transpile the source code to es5. It is used into rollup.config.js and rollup.config.mjs.

  • The env.buildESmodules contains the configuration used to transpile the source code to es6. It is used into rollup.config.js and rollup.config.mjs.

  • If the package.json, generated by this generator, contains the field type:commonjs will be included the env.test property in babel.config.json. That property is used by jest to transpile the source code to es5 before to run the tests.

• Commitlint: commitlint.config.js (configuration used by commitlint).

• Jest: jest.config.js (configuration used by jest).

• Rollup: rollup.config.js and rollup.config.mjs (configuration used by rollup).

• 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
• 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:bundle": Bundles the files into src folder using rollup. It is 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": Generates the dist folder that contains the cjs folder (source code transpiled to es5), the esm folder (source code transpiled to es6), and types folder (it contains the declaration files).
• "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.
