Examples

1. Generate stack by default config

stack --generate

This command will generate a random stack and store in stack.json file in current directory.

2. Generate stack in global

If you want to access stack wherever directory, just use option --global then stack will use stack.json file in global.

stack --generate --global

3. Show stack in terminal

This may be optional, you can use cat or your text editor to read stack.json file. This command can go with --generate and also supports --global.

stack --show

4. Tick row in stack

If you think this stack like to do lists, you may find that check, uncheck and remove row are really useful to manipulate this list. In stack.json file, you can see there are 'Tick' property and default is 'untick'.

In convention, we define three states of row

• Untick: Empty check box, you might not done this row yet
• Tick: Check check box, you might done this row
• Remove: Remove this row, you might thought this row is not necessary in your stack

stack --tick="Back-End" --remove="Wasm"

5. Show all row in stack

When you remove row, it's no longer show in --show. Therefore, use --all to view all rows.

stack --show --all

Advance

Usage

    --untick-all      Untick all row
    --unremove-all    Unremove all row
    --add-item        Add item to row in stack-config in global
    --remove-item     Remove item from row in stack-config in global
    --get-row        	Print all items of row in stack-config in global
    --add-row         Add row to stack-config in global
    --remove-row      Remove row from stack-config in global
    --hide-row        Hide row in stack-config in global
    --show-row        Show row that hide in stack-config in global
    --get-all         Print stack-config in global

6. Add item to row

You love Java but Back-End array doesn't has it, just add it to array.

stack --add-item="Back-End" --item="Java"

7. Remove row

Maybe, Wasm is not populate enough so you don't want to use it in your stack, just remove whole Wasm row.

stack --remove-row="Wasm"

Config

stack by default, has its own stack-config.json file. Therefore, when you want to customize, just create your own stack-config.json in your directory. Following config is default by the way:

// stack-config.json
{
  "Render": [
    {
      "Name": "Server-Side"
    },
    {
      "Name": "Client-Side",
      "API": [
        {
          "Name": "REST"
        },
        {
          "Name": "GraphQL",
          "Framework": ["None", "Relay", "Apollo"]
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "JS Framework": [
    {
      "Name": "React",
      "State Management": ["Hooks", "Redux"]
    },
    {
      "Name": "Angular",
      "State Management": ["None", "RxJS", "NgRx"]
    },
    {
      "Name": "Vue",
      "State Management": ["None", "Vuex"]
    },
    {
      "Name": "Svelte",
      "State Management": ["None"]
    }
  ],
  "JS  Preprocessor": ["None", "Typescript"],
  "CSS Framework": ["None", "Material UI", "Tailwind CSS"],
  "CSS Preprocessor": ["None", "SCSS", "Stylus"],
  "Modern CSS": ["None", "Styled Component", "CSS Modules", "Emotion"],
  "Test": ["None", "Jest", "Cypress", "Enzyme"],
  "Wasm": ["None", "Rust", "Go", "C++"],
  "Back-End": ["Node", "Python", "Go"],
  "Database": [
    "Oracle",
    "MySQL",
    "PostgreSQL",
    "MongoDB",
    "Cassandra",
    "MariaDB",
    "Teradata",
    "Hive",
    "Neo4j"
  ],
  "Cache": ["Redis", "Memcached", "Hazelcast"],
  "Search": ["Elasticsearch", "Splunk", "Solr"],
  "Message Broker": ["None", "RabbitMQ", "Kafka"],
  "Network": ["HTTP", "HTTPS", "HTTP2"],
  "Server": ["Ubuntu", "Debian", "Alphine"],
  "Web Server": ["Nginx", "Apache", "Caddy"]
}

While some stacks can stand alone, others have dependencies such as Apollo framework may go with GraphQL.
