typescript-project-scaffolding
> **Summary**: This package can create a new project file and folder structure with dependencies, example files and config files which **you** have selected to your needs!
> On the left is an example output if you run the script and on the right is the created folder structure.
## Usage
You can create the following project templates:
- http-api server with express
- websocket server with plain websocket
- socket.io server
- a generic npm package for publish etc.
- an empty project with no presets, just the developer dependencies
Every Project can have
- `eslint + prettier`, `convict`, `winston`, `joi`, `amqp`, `mqtt` configured
- as well as different test frameworks like `jest`, `mocha`, `cypress`, `vitest` with code coverage via `nyc`
- different database dependencies can be selected: `mongoose`, `typeorm`, `mysql` / `mysql2`, `mongodb`, `redis`
- Dockerfile configuration can be created
- CI/CD templates for `github actions` and `gitlab ci` can be created

### The Following options can be customized:
| Question | Available Options | Default Value | Description |
|----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1. Project-Name | "." or any path-string | | The Folder Name where to create the new project, use "." for the current directory (if some files already exist in the folder, you need to press Enter a few times to force use the given folder - Instructions are shown in the console) |
| 2. Project-Type | `['http-api@express-utils', 'websocket-server', 'socket-io-server', 'npm-package', 'empty-project']` | | The Template for creating the new project, depending in this answer, custom project source files will be created |
| 3. Dockerfile | `true` or `false` | `true` | Add a Dockerfile to run the project as a docker container (not available if project type is `npm-package`) |
| 4. CI/CD Pipeline | `['gitlab', 'github', 'none']` | `github` | A CI/CD Pipeline template (GitHub Actions or Gitlab Pipelines) which automatically is configured for the build and deployment of the project-type (push to NPM Registry or Docker Registry) |
| 5. Additional Packages | `['eslint_prettier', 'convict', 'ts-node-dev', 'winston', 'joi', 'amqp', 'mqtt']` | `['eslint', 'prettier', 'ts-node-dev', 'winston']` | Some dependencies which can be useful for the developer experience or for project functions (Multi-Select possible); Dependencies will be added as dependencies to `package.json` and if applicable, config files will be added |
| 6. Testing Packages | `['mocha', 'chai-http', 'nyc', 'cypress', 'jest', 'vitest']` | | Select (multiple) dependencies used for unit/integration/end-to-end testing; Custom test npm run scripts will be added as well as example test files |
| 7. Database Driver | `['mongoose', 'typeorm', 'mysql', 'mysql2', 'mongodb', 'redis']` | | Select a Database dependency for a DB connection (multiple answers can be possible) |
| 8. latest package versions | `true` or `false` | `false` | If `true`, the latest npm package version will be installed, otherwise an hard-coded version will be used; If `true`, it is not guaranteed that the example files will be working, because it is only tested with the hard-coded versions |
| 9. npm install | `true` or `false` | `false` | If `true`, the dependencies selected will be installed with `npm install`; If not, the installation step will be skipped. |
| 10. git init | `true` or `false` | `false` | Create a git repository in the new project folder |
| 11. `.idea/` folder files | `['prettier', 'eslint']` | | Copy .idea files to the destination to auto-configure IDE settings |
