Package skeleton for a JavaScript module.

Bootstrap a new JavaScript module in five minutes or less.

• Native ECMAScript module compatible with Node.js.
• Package management with npm.
• Examples with configurable options and arguments powered by yargs with landlubber.
• Linting with the JavaScript Standard Style using ESLint.
• Prettier code.
• Futuristic debuggable unit testing with AVA.
• Code coverage reporting with Istanbul and c8.
• Fully automated version management and package publishing with semantic-release.
• Continuous checks and tests with GitHub Actions.
• Keep a CHANGELOG.
• Consistent coding with EditorConfig.
• Badges from Shields.io.
• Start coding instantly with GitHub Codespaces.

1. Create an empty (non-initialized) repository on GitHub.
2. Clone the main branch of this repository with

   $ git clone --single-branch [email protected]:makenew/jsmodule.git <new-node-lib>
   $ cd <new-node-lib>
   

   Optionally, reset to the latest version with

   $ git reset --hard <version-tag>
   

3. Run

   $ ./makenew.sh
   

   This will replace the boilerplate, delete itself, remove the git remote, remove upstream tags, and stage changes for commit.
4. Create the required GitHub repository secrets.
5. Review, commit, and push the changes to GitHub with

   $ git diff --cached
   $ git commit -m "Replace makenew boilerplate"
   $ git remote add origin [email protected]:<user>/<new-node-lib>.git
   $ git push -u origin main
   

6. Ensure the GitHub action passes, then publish the initial version of the package with

   $ nvm install
   $ npm install
   $ npm version patch
   

If you want to pull in future updates from this skeleton, you can fetch and merge in changes from this repository.

Add this as a new remote with

$ git remote add upstream [email protected]:makenew/jsmodule.git

You can then fetch and merge changes with

$ git fetch --no-tags upstream
$ git merge upstream/main

Note that CHANGELOG.md is just a template for this skeleton. The actual changes for this project are documented in the commit history and summarized under Releases.

Add this as a dependency to your project using npm with

$ npm install @makenew/jsmodule

$ git clone https://github.com/makenew/jsmodule.git
$ cd jsmodule
$ nvm install
$ npm install

Run the command below in a separate terminal window:

$ npm run test:watch

Primary development tasks are defined under scripts in package.json and available via npm run. View them with

$ npm run

The source code is hosted on GitHub. Clone the project with

$ git clone [email protected]:makenew/jsmodule.git

You will need Node.js with npm and a Node.js debugging client.

Be sure that all commands run under the correct Node version, e.g., if using nvm, install the correct version with

$ nvm install

Set the active version for each shell session with

$ nvm use

Install the development dependencies with

$ npm install

Use the npm version command to release a new version. This will push a new git tag which will trigger a GitHub action.

Publishing may be triggered using a workflow_dispatch on GitHub Actions.

GitHub Actions should already be configured: this section is for reference only.

The following repository secrets must be set on GitHub Actions:

• NPM_TOKEN: npm token for installing and publishing packages.

These must be set manually.

The version, format, generate, and semantic-release GitHub actions require a user with write access to the repository. Set these additional secrets to enable the action:

• GH_TOKEN: A personal access token for the user.
• GIT_USER_NAME: The GitHub user's real name.
• GIT_USER_EMAIL: The GitHub user's email.
• GPG_PRIVATE_KEY: The GitHub user's GPG private key.
• GPG_PASSPHRASE: The GitHub user's GPG passphrase.

Please submit and comment on bug reports and feature requests.

To submit a patch:

1. Fork it (https://github.com/makenew/jsmodule/fork).
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature).
3. Make changes.
4. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature').
5. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature).
6. Create a new Pull Request.
