Let me tell you an story

I was learning Python and decided to build some beatiful slides

Mardown version on Github, and slides version on Github Pages with Reveal.js

Why the f.. I was repeating myself again and again?

I need a generator for my beautiful slides

I was super excited creating my project to work, when...

Copy files, copy configuration, install the same damn packages...

I was repeating myself again!!

My first approach: Override npm init command

• You have to place the script on your local
• The prompt is not sync ...
• You lost all the npm init stuff

Second approach: An npm initializer

No dependencies!

1. Create the folder for the new project
2. Use a questionnarie to guide through the options
3. Create a git repo
4. Copy the structured files
5. Create a github repository
6. Install eslint and testing dependencies
7. Update package.json and Readme
8. Commit and push the initial commit

Let's do a demo!

create-nodejs-project

• npm package
• Github

• The exec, spawn and handling the stdio
• Promosify things
• Sync chain

1. params
2. unit Test
3. default values (questionnarie -y)
4. colors
5. error handling
6. licenses
