Makin-cli

makin-cli is a minimalist cli for Node.JS that makes it easy to add Prettier, ESLint and even Typescript into your Node.JS project

I created this cli more out of curiosity on how to build and use a cli with node.js and since currently there are still frameworks/projects that doesn't support out of the box prettier and eslint, I decided to add these two basic features out of the box for the majority of Typescript projects.

Feel free to contribute with other command tools!

Installation

Just run npm i -g makin-cli

Basic usage

Usage: index [options]

A CLI that scaffolds some quality gates in your app

Options:

-V, --version output the version number

-a, --all Install all features this CLI provides in once. Use by your own risk

-p, --prettier add prettier to package.json, with a format script and a generic configuration file (.prettierrc)

-l, --lint add eslint to package.json, with a lint script and a generic configuration file (.eslintrc.js)

-ts, --typescript add Typescript related packages to package.json, and a generic configuration file (.tsconfig.json), using src/index.ts as the main entrance of your app. Change it in package.json after the build if yours is different

-cz, --commitizen add commitzen and default configuration to support standard commit messages using npm run commit

-j, --jest add jest to package.json, with a test script that runs jest

-h, --help display help for command

Auto Prettier

So, in a project that doesn't have prettier you can run in the root of it:

makin-cli -p

Expected result:

➜  makin-cli -p

   [22:00:26] [info] Adding .prettierrc
   [22:00:26] [warn] .prettierrc added

It adds to your package json prettier, a script called format which uses the pattern src/**/*.ts to auto format, and a .prettierrc file with a generic configuration that you can change as you wish.

Auto Lint

Similar to prettier, but running with makin-cli -l

Expected result:

➜  makin-cli -l

Adding Typescript to your Javascript project:

In the root of your Javascript project, run makin-cli -ts

It is set to use the entry point of your application as src/index.ts. If you use a different one you might need to change your generated tsconfig.json and the added information on package.json

➜  makin-cli -ts

Adding commitizen

Commitizen facilitates your life to make standard commits. the -cz command will basically configure commitizen in your package.json and allow you to run it using npm run commit instead of using git commit, allowing you to choose their options and create commits with a nice standard.
