Released a CLI "create-awesome-package" to bootstrap your JS/TS package 🚀 📦 (with video demo)

This CLI helps to create the package with JS/TS, build system(Webpack/Parcel) and necessary stuff 🔥

It's like create-react-app but for building packages 📦

It’s a manual process to arrange all your boilerplate code, Webpack or other build systems to transpile to ES5, etc. and then build your desired package.

• Mainly a bundler like Webpack or Parcel
• Babel to transpire the code

To fix that, I have published a CLI tool, which will help us to do those things, and you will be ready to do your actual code right away.

The name of the CLI is create-awesome-package

create-awesome-package helps to create the package with the build system and necessary stuff.

You just write your own code 🔥

You can find this on 👉 NPMJS https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-awesome-package

How to install

npm i -g create-awesome-package

How to use

Go to your root of the package you want to build.

Then, Just run

create-awesome-package [package-name]

OR also you can use npx

npx create-awesome-package [package-name]

( if you don't want to globally install it)

and you are done! 👏

Jest Testing is integrated with it.
Just run-

npm run test

If you want to build the package into one single file with ES5 transpilation, Just run-

npm run build

You can watch the video on YouTube to see the COMPLETE DEMO of how to use it 👋

I am working on a few more features for it. I will release those soon.

Cheers!
👋

As I am trying to contribute contents on the Web, you can buy me a coffee for my hours spent on all of these ❤️😊🌸

Thanks for creating and sharing! 👍
What is the main purpose of new package it will create? Is it like JS library or UI components as well?

[Shahjada Talukdar]

You are welcome! 👋

Right now, it's a Library creator only. It can create JavaScript and TypeScript libraries.

create-awesome-package my-package js

or

create-awesome-package my-package ts
