rincewind

Rincewind: Create React Apps with Parcel + React + PostCSS (with Tailwind) + TypeScript

Usage

$ npm install -g rincewind
$ rincewind # or rw

By default it creates the new app in a directory called rincewind-app. If you want to specify the folder name, add an extra arg: rw create myapp

Once you have a scaffolded app, cd into the project and then either run:

• rw build for a production build
• rw serve for local development. (aliases for this: rw dev or rw develop)

rw is just an alias for rincewind, you can use rw interchangeably everywhere except with npx

Enjoy!

Commands

rincewind create

Aliases: rw create

Creates a Rincewind app. Only basic template available for now. You can pass an arg or a -d flag to specify the name of the directory it creates.

$ npm install -g rincewind
$ rincewind # or rw

These all also do the same thing

• npx rincewind creates a rincewind app without install
• rw init
• rw create
• rw init myapp
• rw create myapp
• rw init -d myapp
• rw create -d myapp

rincewind serve

Aliases: rw dev, rw develop

Locally serve a rincewind app for development.

These all also do the same thing

• rw serve
• rw dev
• rw develop

rincewind build

Aliases: rw build

Build a Rincewind app for production.

rincewind build

These all also do the same thing

• rw build

Roadmap

• add basic design system to draw from
• other templates to scaffold from including your own
• caching the node modules so you copy paste
• module/nomodule
• preact aliasing
• react single file components
• other ideas from Proxx: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWc3Zu6A3Ws
• need to be liefie resistant - service workers
• ???
• Give me your ideas! https://twitter.com/swyx

Name and History

v0-v2 of this package was a different project, run by https://github.com/mmckegg over from 2013-2016

https://github.com/mmckegg kindly handed this project over to swyx in Nov 2019, because of his deep love of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series and its bumbling Wizzard.
