CLI for creating ready-to-start modern jQuery Plugins
Inspired from create-react-library and create-react-app
create-jquery-plugin is a CLI tool for creating a ready-to-start jQuery plugin development environment with modern configurations. It will create a development environment with a pre-configured build system and you can get started immediately with your plugin development. Also, it is easily customizable that allows you to add or remove any tools or setup. The development setup will include the boilerplate project for the jQuery plugin development, pre-configured gulp tasks for JavaScript transpile, CSS/SCSS building, test/lint scripts, hot loading, example page, readme, etc.
Usage
The command will walk you through a few simple prompts and creates a ready-to-start local development setup for your new jQuery plugin.
npx create-jquery-plugin
Or, fast track with default settings, just pass your plugin name.
npx create-jquery-plugin jquery-my-plugin
This will create a directory with the your plugin name and with all the tools installed.
How to start the development
To start the development process, cd
to your new plugin directory and run npm start
or yarn start
.
For example, if your new plugin is "jquery-my-plugin", just run
cd jquery-my-plugin
npm start
It will open the example/index.html
file with Browserify sync. You can start coding on the directory src
, the example page will hot load as you make changes.
