Node TS Starter CLI

Since I make a lot of projects, I created this Node TS Starter CLI to easily create a new Node project with TypeScript.

Getting started

To get started with the Node TS Starter CLI, simply run the following command in your command line interface:

npx node-ts-starter-cli create your-project-name -M

The command will generate your project in the ./your-project-name/ folder.

For an example of a generated project you can look at the example.

Features

• Strict TypeScript configuration
• Compiled and bundled with esbuild
• Commitizen (-c)
• ESLint (-l)
• Prettier (-p)
• Docker support (-d)
• Github Action CI (-g)
• Separate Dev/Prod config files (-e)

Analyzing your bundle

With esbuild we can generate a meta.json file using the npm run build:meta or npm run build:meta:prod commands, which we can then can be uploaded to Bundle Buddy to perform a detailed bundle analasys.

The Node TS Starter CLI offers additional options such as --minimal and --maximal for a minimal or maximal project setup, as well as options for linting, Docker support, and config per environment. You can find a full list of options by running node-ts-starter-cli create --help.
