AlCalzone's project scaffolding tool

Command line utility to quickly create a new TypeScript Node.js project.

Prerequisites

Any computer with Node.js in version 14 or higher and npm 6 or higher.

Usage

This tool is not supposed to be installed. Instead, run the most recent version using

npx @alcalzone/scaffold [options]

in the directory where the directory of your project should be created. You don't need to create the project directory, because it will be created for you. WARNING: If the path contains a space, this won't work.

After a short while, you will be asked a few questions. Afterwards all the necessary files will be created for you.

Options

The following CLI options are available:

• --target=/path/to/dir - Specify which directory the project files should be created in (instead of the current dir). Shortcut: -t
• --replay=/path/to/file - Re-run the scaffolding tool with the answers of a previous run (the given file needs to be the .scaffold.json in the root of the previously generated directory). Shortcut: -r

All CLI options can also be provided as environment variables by prepending SCAFFOLD_. Example: SCAFFOLD_TARGET=/path/to/my/project
