Overview & Features

config-rocket is a toolkit/engine that helps you create or install configurable config-packs, which can range anywhere from some configuration files, a component, or even a full library template!

CR for users:

• Cross-platform 🪟🍏🐧
• Easy, interactive, safe install of any config pack and zip archives, whether its a public one shared by your friend, or your own, privately-stored.
  • config-rocket does not allow any code execution, so the installation of a config pack is safe, but you should verify that the archive contains the files that you expect.

CR for creators:

• Config type-safety: config-rocket is powered by Typescript (TS), and provides type-safety, autocompletion, typedoc documentation right in your IDE while crafting your configs.
• Powerful creator candies:
  • parameters that works interactively with your users.
  • variables, excludes, filesBuilder helps you conditionally customize your assemble process without code execution.
  • fuel context support that help you reduces duplication work in multiple files.
  • frame template for the quick file-to-file base bones.
  • snapshot that helps simulating of an existing user project, ensuring your configs will deploy correctly. (Intended for more advanced use case like testing AI agents) (TBA)
• Easy shipping: Bundle your config pack, or just create a zip archive, create a GitHub release, or upload it somewhere, and everyone can use it via config-rocket CLI!

CR for developers / communities:

• Easily extendable: tailor your own rules and functionalities via exported functions and hooks support, for example: Roo Rocket

cookiecutter

This project is similar to cookiecutter (I didn't know of it's existence while creating config-rocket).

But I'm proud to say that in the current early stage, config-rocket can pretty much match the functionalities of cookiecutter, with some notes/feats:

• Targets for broader adaptation and safety, no script execution from config packs.
• Provides development toolings and type-safety.
• For serious creators / communities, it's more flexible and easier to create your own extends of config-rocket with more rules and features, you are in FULL POWER of using the inner toolings to control/build the FULL PROCESS: CLI invoke, fetching, unpack, assemble,...
