The problem
I do a bunch of open source and want to make it easier to maintain so many projects.
This solution
This is a CLI that abstracts away all configuration for my open source projects for linting, testing, building, and more.
Table of Contents
Installation
This module is distributed via [npm][npm] which is bundled with [node][node] and
should be installed as one of your project's devDependencies
:
npm install --save-dev nick-scripts
Usage
This is a CLI and exposes a bin called nick-scripts
. I don't really plan on
documenting or testing it super duper well because it's really specific to my
needs. You'll find all available scripts in src/scripts
.
This project actually dogfoods itself. If you look in the package.json
, you'll
find scripts with node src {scriptName}
. This serves as an example of some
of the things you can do with nick-scripts
.
Overriding Config
Unlike react-scripts
, nick-scripts
allows you to specify your own
configuration for things and have that plug directly into the way things work
with nick-scripts
. There are various ways that it works, but basically if you
want to have your own config for something, just add the configuration and
nick-scripts
will use that instead of it's own internal config. In addition,
nick-scripts
exposes its configuration so you can use it and override only
the parts of the config you need to.
This can be a very helpful way to make editor integration work for tools like ESLint which require project-based ESLint configuration to be present to work.
So, if we were to do this for ESLint, you could create an .eslintrc
with the
contents of:
{"extends": "./node_modules/nick-scripts/eslint.js"}
Note: for now, you'll have to include an
.eslintignore
in your project until this eslint issue is resolved.
Or, for babel
, a .babelrc
with:
{"presets": ["nick-scripts/babel"]}
Or, for jest
:
const {jest: jestConfig} = require('nick-scripts/config')
module.exports = Object.assign(jestConfig, {
// your overrides here
// for test written in Typescript, add:
transform: {
'\\.(ts|tsx)$': '<rootDir>/node_modules/ts-jest/preprocessor.js',
},
})
Note:
nick-scripts
intentionally does not merge things for you when you start configuring things to make it less magical and more straightforward. Extending can take place on your terms. I think this is actually a great way to do this.
