Progenitor

A relatively simple Node CLI, meant for bootstraping a frontend project under my usual requirements.

Opinionated, for simplicity and ease of usage.

The CLI setups a project based on the following technologies:

React
Next.js (with Turbo)
TailwindCSS
shadcn
ESLint/Prettier
Vitest
Testing Library
Cypress
Zod

Stack

Node.js
TypeScript
TSX
Clack
ESLint

Motivation

This script was created with the intent of reducing repetition, since several projects on the market have similar overall structure, based on some key development patterns:

SOLID;
Composition Pattern;
Custom Hooks;

Decisions

Package manager: Pnpm is the best option due to its dependency caching, that allows package reusage between projects and saving a lot of space over time. It's very useful during testing, avoiding unnecessary bandwidth traffic.

Runtime: Bun was initially chosen for its native support of TypeScript, speed and usability. However, due to current compatibility issues with native Node.js APIs with Inquirer, Node and TSX was needed.

Dependencies

Node: v20.12.2

pnpm: 8.15.4

Running

pnpm i

pnpm dev

To do

Move api.tsx to services.
Add 'typography' folder to components.
Github bots that check for updates, then open a PR. (Dependabot, Github Actions?)
Installable npm package (once it is good enough).
