Overview

This repository contains the standard configs we include in all of our projects along with some configs / settings unique to NPM packages. This template is meant to be the starting point for TypeScript-based NPM packages.

Requirements

If you are simply including this library in your project, all you need is a recent version of Node.js. Node.js >14.18.0 is sometimes required and is the only version range we actively support. Albeit, it is highly probable that lower versions will work as well depending on the requirements that this project imports.

Developer Requirements

The following versions of Node.js and Python are required for development:

• Node.js >14.18.0
• Python >3.10.0

Other versions may work, but only the above versions are supported. Most development dependencies are installed automatically by our Taskfile.yml set-up (even Node.js and Python). Run bash start.sh to install Bodega (an improved fork of go-task) and run the initialization sequence. The taskfiles will automatically install dependencies as they are needed, based on what development tasks you are running. For more information, check out the CONTRIBUTING.md or simply run:

npm run help

npm run help will ensure Bodega is installed and then open an interactive dialog where you can explore and learn about various developer commands.

Generic NPM Package Boilerplate Specifics

This repository is provided as a starting point for NPM packages that would not benefit from our other NPM/Node.js project starting templates (i.e. Node.js app template and NPM CLI template). It packages together all of the standard Megabyte Labs repository configurations and scripts along with some NPM package specific starting files.

Sponsorship

Dear Awesome Person,

I create open source projects out of love. Although I have a job, shelter, and as much fast food as I can handle, it would still be pretty cool to be appreciated by the community for something I have spent a lot of time and money on. Please consider sponsoring me! Who knows? Maybe I will be able to quit my job and publish open source full time.

Sincerely,

Brian Zalewski
