I’ve also initialised a new git repository and committed the results of this script as the “Initial commit”. To the original I’ve added fetching the license type, the author name and email from the npm init defaults.
Here’s a bash script I have come up with inspired by their tweet. There are some improvements that I’d make to Tierney’s commands, though I appreciate they were constrained by Twitter. Once you have that customised to your liking, npm init -y will always produce the right settings. The command line is easy enough though, you can set all five defaults like so: npm set "Your name" npm set npm set "" npm set init.license "MIT" npm set init.version "1.0.0" To set them, you can enter them on the command line or use npm config edit to open up the config file in your text editor. There are a number of defaults you can set author name, author email, author url, the license, and the version. To just see the config that affects npm init you can grep for “init”: npm config list | grep init You can see your current npm config by entering npm config list on the command line. Tierney also suggested customising your npm init defaults so that the output of npm init -y is correct.
npm init -y accepts all of the default options that npm init asks you about. This is really useful when generating new projects and saves you from globally installing a bunch of npm packages that are only used in this setup mode. If you’ve not seen npx before it looks locally to see if there is a command to run and executes it, if there is no local command it will try to download, install the command from npm, and run it. npx covgen uses the covgen package to generate the Contributor Covenant and give your project a code of conduct that will be welcoming to all contributors. npx gitignore node uses the gitignore package to automatically download the relevant. npx license mit uses the license package to download a license of choice, in this case the MIT license. These four commands do everything that I was doing manually and more, setting up a project for success right from the start. You're ready to start coding.- Tierney Cyren January 7, 2019 Then this week I saw Tierney Cyren tweet this: And if I remember I’ll actually create a LICENSE file with the open source license that I intended to use. gitignore file from GitHub’s useful repo of. Npm then asks me some questions and builds a package.json file for me. Usually when I start a new Node.js project I use npm to generate my initial project. Sometimes I write blog posts to remind myself what I’ve learned and sometimes I write them because someone else shares something and I want to remember that better.
