I am trying to create a project structure to my team like how it implemented by open-wc or create-react-app just say npm init @open-wc and it asks couple of questions and creates the folder with specified configurations.
I didn't find good articles on google except exploring the github projects.
Maintainer of open-wc here :)
So to get an npm init script all you need to do is define a bin in your package.json.
This is what we use for npm init @open-wc:
"name": "@open-wc/create",
"bin": {
"create-open-wc": "./dist/create.js"
},
So then for the name you have 2 choices:
create-foo will be available via npm init foo@foo/create will be available via npm init @fooThe generators itself
That's a rather sad story... we looked around but we didn't find anything that really fit our use case well. There is http://yeoman.io/ which we used initially but it's huge and it meant we had a bootup time of ~30-40 seconds before the menu appeared. We felt we needed to do something so now we roll our own solution.
It covers what we need now with a fraction of the size (especially by being very careful with dependencies) which reduced our bootup time to about ~5-10 seconds. We thought about promoting it as a separate standalone project but truth be told we don't have the manpower for it. It's just 4 files you can find here https://github.com/open-wc/open-wc/tree/master/packages/create/src - beware as there is no docu and quite some rough edges.
Still, if you don't find a better solution feel free to join us and with some help, we could make it a separate product.
