nodeplate

A boilerplate for your rock-solid node.js projects. Includes static code analysis, development and building tools.

What's included ?

Babel transpiling npm start (using babel)

Write your code in ES6.
Watch files and reload npm run dev (using nodemon)

Run your script and watch for changes.
Debugging npm run debug (using babel-node-debug)

Debug your application using a babel-compatible version of node-inspector.
Test runner npm test (using lab)

Write your tests in the test folder and run them with npm test.
Code coverage npm run coverage (using lab)

Lab can also calculate the code coverage.
Code linting npm run lint (using xo)

Lint your code (even ES6/7 and JSX).
Code format npm run format (using xo)

Beautify and format you code. Fix errors found by xo
Recognize duplicate code npm run inspect (using jsinspect)

Recognize duplicate, copy-pasted and similar code.
License checker npm run licenses (using license-checker)

Print the link and the license type of each dependency
Package building npm run build (using nar)

You can build an executable file out of your project including all dependencies.

Please refer to nar's documentation if you like to include a custom node.js version or to build a package for a different system-architecture/OS. You should simple edit the buildproperty in the scripts section of package.json to something like:

    nar create --executable --os darwin --arch x64 --node 0.12.0

Find vulnerabilities npm run deps:sec (using nsp)

nsp (Node Security Project) will check if any dependency is affected by a known vulnerability.
Keep dependencies up-to-date npm run deps:updates (using david)

David keeps dependencies up-to-date and will help you to update them.
README generator npm run readme (using node-readme)

Generate a README like this from an ES6 template extracting data from package.json. Edit the .README.md template and run the command. Check the node-readme documentation for all available variables/functions.

Do not edit the README.md in your project folder, since this will be overwritten running the npm run readme command.
Git hooks (using husky)

Custom precommit and prepush are defined in order to run tests (and vulnerabilities discovery) on commit and push. You can define your own in the package.json
npm-run-all

git clone https://github.com/g-div/nodeplate
cd nodeplate
npm install

Use npm commands listed above as following:

npm run lint
npm run test:deps

npm-run-all --parallel lint test:deps test --sequential build

Documentation tool (JSDoc, dox, ...)
Aggregate commands using npm-run-all
Use a scaffolding system (init)
Consider standard instead of xo
Fix nar: should be able to use $npm_package_main variable (see h2non/nar#115 and h2non/nar#116)
Consider strong-build instead of nar
Consider semantic-release
Consider hotel and minihost
