StarterKit

A command-line utility for Node that gives quick access to starter-kits that help you spin up a project easily. Designed for teams that desire consistency but require flexibility from project to project.

Install

npm install starter-kit -g

Basic Usage

mkdir your_directory
cd your_directory
starterkit use starter-kit

As a general rule, every Starterkit has a ./bin/bootstrap file that sets up the requirements of that Starterkit, and a ./bin/dev-start file that begins what development process is needed.

Starter Kits

• frontend-starter
• react-starter
• react-express-starter
• sailsjs-starter
• express-jwt-starter
• email-starter
• express-starter
• koa-v2-starter
• koa-graphql-starter

Additional Libraries

You can install any library available on Bower or NPM through the use command as well! Simply add --bower and/or --npm as an option on your command.

Examples:

starterkit use frontend-starter --bower jquery,bourbon,neat

starterkit use react-starter --bower bourbon --npm jquery,radium

Building a Starter Kit

Want to build a starter kit? Awesome! It's really rather simple. Just follow these principles, build your starter kit, and then submit a pull-request with a link to your wonderful starter kit.

Starter Kit Principles

1. Only the bare necessities. People shouldn't feel the need to delete anything in a starter kit.
2. ./bin/bootstrap is the only way to setup. The starterkit cli calls ./bin/bootstrap when installing starter kits, so chances are the setup will just fail. The idea is that a user should not have to run a single line of code to get their project ready to go after using the starter kit.
