Collaborate with me? about create-node-module HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi,
Sounds cool, I also wanted to port it to JS and add new features.
Send me a PR once you have the basic structure so we can take that as starting point and discuss the organization and features.

Just want to followup to say this will happen! I just get busy. I did start on a basic structure a while ago, but only got as far as a command line program that prints a help and validates options. But since that's all I've got, I might as well show you a little instead of nothing.

It's enough of a start that there's some things we can disagree about, like what command line parsers, or async/await, etc. You might really like it or you might be completely repulsed and say, "You don't use semicolons? That's it, we can't be friends anymore". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

... FOUR spaces? 🤣 Yeah, let's use prettier. I use standard myself, but am unashamedly pragmatist.

Glad you like async/await! The more I use it the more I miss it when I have to go without it.

Come to think of it, I'll run the code through prettier before you read it. :)

I don't know WHAT I was smoking when I wrote that first attempt at code. Actually I do know, I was trying to design from the top down, which never works. The new code is MUCH more concise, and actually does something: generate a .gitignore from the Github templates!

So what I've got now is basically organized like this:

• src
  • bin
    • cli.js - putting the CLI bits here allows /src/index.js to just expose the API for other modules to use
  • index.js - executes each feature one after the other
  • gitignore.js - the gitignore feature
  • ... - travis feature, github feature, etc each "feature" gets a file for easy testing
• dist - same exact structure as /src but transpiled

OK, the code is MUCH less embarrassing now: https://github.com/wmhilton/create-node-module/tree/js

It now does babelrc, gitignore, and license, and lets you can set the default answers to the questions in a .rc file

I'm going to move this discussion to the pull request.
