A suite of tools for working on Ghost and in the surrounding ecosystem.

It (will soon) provide a CLI tool for quickly starting new projects.

Slimer is capable of creating 4 different types of project:

• Pkg: create a package inside a mono repo
• Mono: start a new mono repo with lerna, just like the slimer repo
• Module: a simple standalone node module
• App: a standalone app, based on express

Add me to your globals:

• npm i -g @tryghost/slimer-cli

I aim to be easy to use, if you ever get stuck, try adding --help to a command.

• slimer new <name>
• Run slimer or slimer --help for full usage details

This is a mono repository, managed with lerna.

1. git clone this repo & cd into it as usual
2. yarn setup is mapped to lerna bootstrap
   • installs all external dependencies
   • links all internal dependencies

• yarn dev (or yarn slimer) are aliases for slimer
• yarn link:cli will make your local dev version available globally as just slimer <command>
• yarn unlink:cli will remove it again

Note: normally yarn link would work for this, but it's not working with the lerna repo for me.

• yarn lint run just eslint
• yarn test run tests & then eslint

• yarn ship is mapped to lerna publish and will publish any package that has changed.
