v4.4.3

✨ Features

• ef81964 ✨ feat: add 'create-ps' alias

  Example

  create-ps cool-new-package
  # The same as 'cps cool-new-package'

🧹 Chores

• 20e18f9 🧹 chore: do not allow already taken package name's on npm to be used
  • If it returns a 200 response, then a package in the registry already has already taken that name, and thus is not available.
  • If it returns a 404 response, then a package with that name does not exist in the registry, meaning the name is available.

📦 Dependencies

• 85ff121 📦 chore(package): bump axios from 1.7.2 to 1.7.3 (#13)
• 907c455 📦 chore(package): bump axios from 1.7.3 to 1.7.4 (#14)
• a502fab 📦 chore(package): bump execa from 9.3.0 to 9.3.1 (#15)

_{Files and file contents fetched from Gist's remain unchanged in this release.}

v4.4.2

✨ Features

• 1a8b37d ✨ feat: allow already existing files to be skipped
  • When you are warned of files being overwritten, you are asked if you want to skip the listed file paths.
  • If you select Yes, the listed file paths won't be created, and the file paths that don't already exist will be created as normal.
  • If you select No, the file paths are overwritten as normal with template content.

♻️ Refactors

• 0e1fb42 ♻️ refactor: handle invalid dependencies significantly better

  Example

  As an example, let's say you entered something like:

  open, execa, invalidname12347489, chalk@4.0.0
  

  In this case, while open, execa and chalk@4.0.0 are valid, since they exist and the versions are valid, invalidname12347489 would be the invalid dependency, since it does not exist. The user will be notified which dependencies are invalid and asks them to re-enter the invalid dependencies correctly.

v4.4.0

♻️ Refactors

• db9ab10 ♻️ refactor: overhaul the contents of multiple files

  This includes includes a subset of changes:

  • ♻️ refactor: fetch most long template files' contents from github gist's

    • In short, the contents of these files are now fetched from a secret gist, holding the contents of these files. This means that new releases won't have to be made for any changes to these files anymore.
    • With this, some of the content has been changed (see further below). However, any future changes to the content of these files will still be outlined within any future changelogs.

    Updated files:

    • docs/example.md - Expanded a bit more with better language.
    • .github/workflows/workflow.yml - Added an extra comment, plus miniscule edits.
    • CONTRIBUTING.md - Completely revamped existing content with much more detail and better formatting.
    • README.md - See below for the changes to this file.

  • ♻️ refactor(README.md): append extra content depending on CONTRIBUTING.md and LICENSE inclusion

    • If the CONTRIBUTING.md toggles is selected, then some extra content about contributing to the package is appended to the README.md file.
    • Same with if the LICENSE file toggle is selected, it will find the license name and display a short notice about the packages' license.
    • README.md is not affected by the change to storing file contents as Gists for most long files. See this comment for why.

✨ Features

• 5fd5315 ✨ feat(workflows): include a full example of a workflow

  • View the example workflow here.

• e87b091 ✨ feat(prompts): allow cancellation using CTRL+C

  • Meaning the prompt will exit the command when you press the key combination.

🧹 Chores

• 2d09f16 🧹 chore(license): automatically fill in [year] and [fullname] fields

  • [year] is changed to the current year.
  • [fullname] is changed to the user's set Git username.

• 8bb1510 🧹 chore: also check for existing directories

  • Now also finds directories which already exist and display them in the warning message.

• 40b6368 🧹 chore(cjs): improve warning message

📝 Documentation

• acf9658 📝 docs: update and clean up documentation

v4.3.0

💥 Breaking

• ea08bce 💥 BREAKING: use ESM by default
  • --esm has become --cjs. ESM syntax is now used by default.
  • Behind the scenes, a lot more has been done to ensure there are no issues (especially when using ESM), such as adding "type": "module" and adding the engines field with a minimum of Node.js 18. You can view the rest by clicking on the commit hash.
  • Most of this was taken from Sindre Sorhus' FAQ.

🧹 Chores

• ea08bce 🧹 chore: warn if user uses --cjs
• ea08bce 🧹 chore(esm): add type and engines to package.json
• 53931ad 🧹 chore: use node .gitignore template

📝 Documentation

• d3b1839 📝 docs: update documentation

🐛 Bugfixes

• 81487b4 🐛 fix(dependencies): remove versions from statements

  Let's say you put chalk@4.0.0 as one of the dependencies to install. Before, the statement would become:

  import chalk@4.0.0 from 'chalk@4.0.0' or const chalk@4.0.0 = require('chalk@4.0.0')

  This is no longer the case. Anything after (and including) an @ is removed, so the above would now become:

  import chalk from 'chalk' or const chalk = require('chalk')

  Obviously, this doesn't eliminate the fact that packages import / require() modules differently, however this will help in cases where people use a specific version of a dependency.

v4.2.0

✨ Features

• 4e8516c ✨ feat: add dependency installation option

• fea438e ✨ feat(dependencies): add import/require statements to files after installing dependencies

Note

There's no way to tell exactly how the package is called (ie. with modules, if they use {} or not), so the dependency name (${dep}) for the name for both parts. There are comments to warn you about this and recommend you to read the documentations for those packages.

📦 Packages

• 1772bba 📦 chore(package): Bump execa from 9.1.0 to 9.2.0

v4.1.0

✨ Features

• fd6ac1d ✨ feat(gitignore): use github node template for .gitignore file
  • See https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Node.gitignore.

♻️ Refactors

• 7708f0f ♻️ refactor(funding): prompt to enter funding type and url

Note

If you don't specify a funding type, it will default to using the individual type.

◇  Enter the funding type you want to use:
│   github
│
◇  Enter the funding URL:
│   https://github.com/sponsors/inttter

✨ Features

• 01fa883 ✨ feat(pkg-config): improve funding field
  • Added funding types, prompting for funding type, and validation.

Note

The funding type prompt does not include every single type that can be used in a package.json, as there are quite a lot. If you want to link to an OpenCollective page for example, you can use "type": "opencollective", same with others like GitHub.
