This CLI helps to create the package with JS/TS, build system(Webpack/Parcel) and necessary stuff πŸ”₯

It's like create-react-app but for building packages πŸ“¦

It’s a manual process to arrange all your boilerplate code, Webpack or other build systems to transpile to ES5, etc. and then build your desired package.

  • Mainly a bundler like Webpack or Parcel
  • Babel to transpire the code

To fix that, I have published a CLI tool, which will help us to do those things, and you will be ready to do your actual code right away.

The name of the CLI is create-awesome-package

create-awesome-package helps to create the package with the build system and necessary stuff.

You just write your own code πŸ”₯

You can find this on πŸ‘‰ NPMJS https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-awesome-package

( if you don't want to globally install it)

and you are done! πŸ‘

Jest Testing is integrated with it.

If you want to build the package into one single file with ES5 transpilation, Just run-

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You can watch the video on YouTube to see the COMPLETE DEMO of how to use it πŸ‘‹

I am working on a few more features for it. I will release those soon.

Cheers!
