{"id":25857,"library":"latest-dev","title":"latest-dev","description":"CLI tool to quickly scaffold a Node.js project with linter, transpiler, and npm scripts. Version 1.0.5 sets up package.json via npm-init, installs dev dependencies (ESLint, Rollup, Rimraf), and configures npm scripts. Designed for rapid prototyping, it reduces setup time but has limited customization. Last updated in 2021 with no recent releases; development roadmap incomplete. Alternative to create-react-app or similar boilerplates but focused on universal JS projects.","status":"maintenance","version":"1.0.5","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/MyIsaak/latest-dev-js","tags":["javascript","transpiler","package.json","npm","eslint","rollup"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install latest-dev","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add latest-dev","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add latest-dev","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[],"imports":[{"note":"CLI tool intended for global or npx usage, not as a project dependency.","wrong":"npm install latest-dev --save-dev","symbol":"latest-dev","correct":"npx latest-dev <project-dir>"}],"quickstart":{"code":"npx latest-dev my-new-project\ncd my-new-project\nnpm start","lang":"javascript","description":"Scaffolds a new Node.js project with ESLint, Rollup, and Rimraf dev dependencies, and sets up npm scripts."},"warnings":[{"fix":"Provide a default package.json template or use npm init -y internally.","message":"The tool runs npm-init without arguments, which may prompt user input interactively.
