Alias

It is hard to remember yo node-bahmutov command, so I suggest using an alias to start a good NPM module. Run this command or place it in your ~/.alias file

# create new NPM module using Yeoman generator-node-bahmutov
alias new_module='yo node-bahmutov && yo node-bahmutov:release'

Make a folder, init new Git repo, set remote GitHub origin url and then call the alias

$ new_module

Answer 3 questions and you will be all set!

Recommended

Semantic release for GitHub

I recommend installing semantic release right away after bootstrapping the project, it will work nicely with the commit message format. We already include the semantic release badge in the generated README file, so you have no excuse

npm i -g semantic-release-cli
semantic-release-cli setup

Add version back into package.json, I recommend

"version": "0.0.0-semantic-release"

Semantic release for GitLab

If you use GitLab, you should take a look at semantic-release-gitlab

Generating Dockerfile

You can generate a Dockerfile with good defaults for running the current Node project inside a docker container. Based on Docker file in this gist.

yo node-bahmutov:docker

This generator also adds docker-* commands to the package.json to build the image, run and stop the container.

Generated docker image features

  • Runs Node application as a dedicated user (for security) with production environment set
  • Exposes port 1337 and sets the image environment variable PORT
  • Uses Yelp/dumb-init as default PID 1 process

You can see the full Dockerfile template.

Semantic release

You can setup semantic-release and include useful plugins like simple-commit-message and dont-crack by running

yo node-bahmutov:release

Assumes you have global semantic-release-cli tool already preset, if not

npm install --global semantic-release-cli

Test

Change into an empty folder, for example

cd /tmp
mkdir test-generator
cd test-generator
yo node-bahmutov

Or just run npm run e2e (assumes global yo install). The go into the folder /tmp/test-node-generator and run the project. You can even build the Docker image and try running the project inside the container.

Debugging

Run the generator with environment variable DEBUG set to "gen"

DEBUG=gen yo node-bahmutov

Development

Following the instructions. This module also reads answers to user questions from file answers.json if found in the current working directory. An example file is test/answers.json.

Remote

This generator assumes there is already a remote Git (probably GitHub or GitLab) repository where all code will live. Please create it first and then set it before running generator

git init
git remote add origin <remote git>
