boil
What is it?
A boilerplate I use for all my node projects. It fetches a ZIP file and extracts it into the current folder, which is really handy since you can download a ZIP from a git repository. This ZIP acts as a base project, and is very handy for setting up .gitignore
, .editorconfig
, .jshintrc
.
If you don't like my base repository, you can use your own (instructions below).
Installing
Run npm install -g node-boil
.
Usage
Just run boil
in the folder you want to put the boilerplate in.
Custom base repository
Just create a .boilrc
in your home folder (or any of the parent folders in which you want to use a custom base repository) with the following content:
"repository": "https://github.com/marcooliveira/node-boilerplate-files/archive/master.zip" "success": "Boiled"
As you can see, this allows you to change:
- repository: The base repository.
- success: The success message shown after boiling.
