Generate NPM packages, tailor-made for RedwoodJS applications 🌲

Abstract

Sequoia is a yarn create script for generating NPM packages which are designed to work well with RedwoodJS applications.

It provides a dynamic, interactive prompt which configures the generated package. All prompts can be configured through command-line arguments, making re-use and quick access easy.

Features

• Command-line argument and prompt driven configuration of generated package.
• Support for JavaScript or TypeScript source-code generation.
• Code compilation and bundling facilitated by Microbundle.
• Built-in support for linting and testing, using the same configuration as RedwoodJS.
• Easily depend on and extend RedwoodJS' functionality.
• Simple setup to support React and Storybook.
• GitHub Actions to:
  • Publish your package to NPM and create a release on GitHub.
  • Make quality assurances when PRs are opened against the main branch.
  • Deploy Storybook to GitHub Pages whenever updates to the main branch occur.

Usage

Providing a value for an argument will skip its prompt.
