Tool List

A database of JavaScript tools, with some metadata. For now, contains only starter projects (boilerplates / starter kits).

Purpose

I've used this data to build a starter project list. As an npm package, the data can be used by others to make similar apps, lists, or documentation.

Usage

const toolList = require('tool-list');

// all tags
const allTags = toolList.starterProjectTags;

// starter projects that use Webpack
const webpackStarters = toolList.startersWithTag('webpack');

// raw JSON data
const starterJson = require('tool-list/data/starter-projects.json');

Example Project

Returned starter projects are in this format:

Contributing

To add your starter project, submit a pull request with your starter project GitHub URL added to the starterProjectUrls file.

Please keep the URLs in alphabetical order - that makes it easy to spot duplicates.
