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

• 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

or use npm-run-all:

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

• npm run readme : node-readme
• npm run precommit : npm test
• npm run prepush : npm-run-all lint test test:deps
• npm run start : npm run boot
• npm run boot : babel-node $npm_package_main
• npm run dev : nodemon --exec babel-node -- $npm_package_main
• npm run debug : babel-node-debug $npm_package_main
• npm run lint : xo
• npm run format : xo --fix
• npm run inspect : jsinspect
• npm run test : lab
• npm run coverage : lab -r lcov
• npm run build : nar create --executable
• npm run deps:sec : nsp audit-package
• npm run deps:updates : david
• npm run test:deps : npm-run-all deps:sec deps:updates
• npm run licenses : license-checker

• 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
