    • I have some npm packages with identical configurations, just different code and they can be seen here (they are not all, but they are a good example).

  • confgen

    Generate repetitive configs for vite, typescript, eslint, etc

    • I made my own for exactly the reasons you cite: https://github.com/erikpukinskis/confgen but it’s extremely opinionated and very alpha. Basically, if you are working in the cluster of Vite, TypeScript, Apollo, etc it will work but it doesn’t work with anything else.

  • generate-package

    Use as a sub-generator or plugin in your generator to create a package.json for a project. Or install globally and run with Generate's CLI.
