The aim of this project is to automate the creation of a new web project. The script require node.js to run. This script have been tested only on Mac OS X v10.7.
Author: Federico Weber
On run time the script will look for an init.json file iside the target folder. This is the configuration file for the new project and will hold a list of depencencies and options. If the init.json is not provided the global one, located in the same script folder, is used.
Then the script populate the project folder following this steps:
- init a git repo
- get the dependencies
- create an optional empty doc to hold the project TODO list
- add the created structure to git and generate the first commit
Should contain the following elements:
- boilerplate: path to local folder or an url to a remote .zip file
- submodules: an array of valid urls to git submodules to load
- libs: an array that point to the urls for additional libraries to load using curl
- commit message: This is the first commit message
- libsPath: this is the path for the libs folder.
- todoName: Optional if provided it used to generate a todo file. The extension must be included as well
The target folder is passed with a target environment variable when the script is executed. To make the process faster I'm also leverging a keyboard maestro macro to run the script on the current selected folder in finder.
Ex.
$ target=PROJECT_FOLDER node projectBootstrapp.js
