Craft your Angular projects like a pro! ⛏️

A powerful CLI tool that helps you craft Angular projects with pre-configured folder structures and essential packages. Think of it as your personal crafting table for Angular development! 🧰

• 🏗️ Smart Project Generation: Creates Angular projects with optimized folder structures
• 📦 Package Management: Automatically installs commonly used packages (Tailwind CSS, Angular Material, NgRx, ESLint)
• 🔧 Dev Utilities: Git hooks and development tools (Husky)
• 🎨 Tailwind CSS Integration: Pre-configured utility-first CSS framework with PostCSS
• 🎯 Custom Structures: Support for custom folder structure configurations
• 🔌 Plugin System: Extensible plugin architecture for additional features (auth, i18n, PWA, etc.)
• ⚡ Fast Setup: Get your project ready in seconds, not minutes
• 🔧 Angular 17-20 Support: Compatible with the latest Angular versions

Before you start crafting, make sure you have:

• Node.js (v18 or higher) 📦
• Angular CLI (v17-20) ⚡

npm install -g @angular/cli

npm install -g ngx-crafter

# Basic usage with interactive prompts
ngx-crafter

# Use plugins for additional features (coming soon)
ngx-crafter -- --with auth
ngx-crafter -- --with auth,i18n,pwa

# Plugin-specific options (coming soon)
ngx-crafter -- --with auth --auth-provider firebase
ngx-crafter -- --with pwa --pwa-name "My Awesome App"

That's it! The tool will guide you through the setup process with interactive prompts.

When you run ngx-crafter, you'll get a fully configured Angular project with:

• Tailwind CSS: Automatically configured with PostCSS and ready to use
• Angular Material: UI components and theming setup
• NgRx: State management with store, effects, and devtools

• Husky: Git hooks configured with lint-staged for pre-commit code quality checks
• ESLint: Code linting and formatting rules
• Prettier: Code formatting and style consistency

Plugin system infrastructure is ready! You can create your own plugins now. Provided plugins will be available in future versions. Meanwhile, check out demo-plugin as an example.

The tool will ask you:

1. Project Name: What should we call your masterpiece?
2. Package Selection: Which packages do you want to include?
   • Angular Material: UI component library
   • Tailwind CSS: Utility-first CSS framework
   • NgRx: State management library
3. Dev Utilities: Which development utilities do you want to add?
   • Husky: Git hooks with lint-staged for pre-commit code quality
   • ESLint: Code linting and formatting
   • Prettier: Code formatting and style consistency
4. Folder Structure: Use default or custom structure?

Want to craft your own folder structure? Create a JSON file like this:

{
  "src": {
    "app": {
      "core": {
        "services": {},
        "guards": {},
        "models": {}
      },
      "features": {
        "auth": {},
        "dashboard": {}
      }
    }
  }
}

Then reference it during setup!

npm run build

npm run dev
