projen synthesizes project configuration files such as package.json,
tsconfig.json, .gitignore, GitHub Workflows, eslint, jest, etc. from a
well-typed definition written in JavaScript.
As opposed to existing templating/scaffolding tools, projen is not a one-off
generator. Synthesized files should never be manually edited (in fact, projen
enforces that). To modify your project setup, users interact with rich
strongly-typed class and execute projen to update their project configuration
files.
By defining a custom project type and using projen in multiple repositories, it's
possible to update configuration files and CI/CD workflows across dozens (or
hundreds!?) of projects.
Check out this talk about projen from its creator.
Getting Started
projen doesn't need to be installed. You will be using npx to run projen which takes care of all required setup steps.
To create a new project, run the following command and follow the instructions:
$ mkdir my-project
$ cd my-project
$ npx projen new PROJECT-TYPE

Project types
Currently supported project types (use npx projen new without a type for a
full list):
Built-in: (run npx projen new <type>)


awscdk-app-java - AWS CDK app in Java.
awscdk-app-py - AWS CDK app in Python.
awscdk-app-ts - AWS CDK app in TypeScript.
awscdk-construct - AWS CDK construct library project.
cdk8s-app-py - CDK8s app in Python.
cdk8s-app-ts - CDK8s app in TypeScript.
cdk8s-construct - CDK8s construct library project.
cdktf-construct - CDKTF construct library project.
java - Java project.
jsii - Multi-language jsii library project.
nextjs - Next.js project using JavaScript.
nextjs-ts - Next.js project using TypeScript.
node - Node.js project.
project - Base project.
python - Python project.
react - React project using JavaScript.
react-ts - React project using TypeScript.
typescript - TypeScript project.
typescript-app - TypeScript app.


External: (run npx projen new --from <type>)

projen-github-action-typescript - GitHub Action in TypeScript project.


Use npx projen new PROJECT-TYPE --help to view a list of command line
switches that allows you to specify most project options during bootstrapping.
For example: npx projen new jsii --author-name "Jerry Berry".

The new command will create a .projenrc.js file which looks like this for
jsii projects:
const { JsiiProject } = require('projen');

const project = new JsiiProject({
authorAddress: "[email protected]",
authorName: "Elad Ben-Israel",
name: "foobar",
repository: "https://github.com/eladn/foobar.git",
});

project.synth();

This program instantiates the project type with minimal setup, and then calls
synth() to synthesize the project files. By default, the new command will
also execute this program, which will result in a fully working project.
Once your project is created, you can configure your project by editing
.projenrc.js and re-running npx projen to synthesize again.

The files generated by projen are considered an "implementation detail" and
projen protects them from being manually edited (most files are marked
read-only, and an "anti tamper" check is configured in the CI build workflow
to ensure that files are not updated during build).

For example, to setup PyPI publishing in jsii projects, you can use
publishToPypi option:
const project = new JsiiProject({
// ...
publishToPypi: {
distName: "mydist",
module: "my_module",
}
});

Run:
npx projen

And you'll notice that your package.json file now contains a python section in
its jsii config and the GitHub release.yml workflow includes a PyPI
publishing step.
We recommend to put this in your shell profile, so you can simply run pj every
time you update .projenrc.js:
alias pj='npx projen'

Most projects come with an assortment of tasks that handle various
development activities, from compiling to publishing. Tasks can be and composed
together, and can be run as local commands or turned into GitHub workflows. You
can list all tasks with npx projen --help:
$ npx projen --help
projen [command]

Commands:
projen new [PROJECT-TYPE-NAME] [OPTIONS] Creates a new projen project
projen clobber hard resets to HEAD of origin and cleans the local repo
projen compile Only compile
projen test Run tests
projen build Full release build (test+compile)
projen upgrade upgrade dependencies (including projen)
...

The build task is the same task that's executed in your CI builds. It
typically compiles, lints, tests and packages your module for distribution.
Shell Completions
If installed as a global package, projen includes rich shell tab-completion support. To enable this in your shell, run:
# Bash
projen completion >> ~/.bashrc

# ZSH
projen completion >> ~/.zshrc

Features
Some examples of features built-in to project types:

Fully synthesize package.json
Standard npm scripts like compile, build, test, package
eslint
Jest
jsii: compile, package, api compatibility checks, API.md
Bump & release scripts with CHANGELOG generation based on conventional commits
Automated PR builds
Automated releases to npm, maven, NuGet and PyPI
Automated dependency upgrades
Mergify configuration
LICENSE file generation
gitignore + npmignore management
Node "engines" support with coupling to CI build environment and @types/node
Anti-tamper: CI builds will fail if a synthesized file is modified manually

Ecosystem
projen takes a "batteries included" approach and aims to offer dozens of different project types out of
the box (we are just getting started). Think projen new react, projen new angular, projen new java-maven,
projen new awscdk-typescript, projen new cdk8s-python (nothing in projen is tied to javascript or npm!)...
Adding new project types is as simple as submitting a pull request to this repo and exporting a class that
extends projen.Project (or one of its derivatives). Projen automatically discovers project types so your
type will immediately be available in projen new.
Projects in external modules
projen is bundled with many project types out of the box, but it can also work
with project types and components defined in external jsii modules (the reason
we need jsii is because projen uses the jsii metadata to discover project types
& options in projen new).
Say we have a module in npm called projen-vuejs which includes a single project
type for vue.js:
$ npx projen new --from projen-vuejs

If the referenced module includes multiple project types, the type is required.
Switches can also be used to specify initial values based on the project type
APIs. You can also use any package syntax supported by yarn
add like
[email protected], file:/path/to/local/folder,
[email protected]/awesome/projen-vuejs#1.2.3, etc.
$ npx projen new --from projen-vuejs@^2 vuejs-ts --description "my awesome vue project"

Under the hood, projen new will install the projen-vuejs module from npm
(version 2.0.0 and above), discover the project types in it and bootstrap the
vuejs-ts project type. It will assign the value "my awesome vue project" to
the description field. If you examine your .projenrc.js file, you'll see
that projen-vuejs is defined as a dev dependency:
const { VueJsProject } = require('projen-vuejs');

const project = new VueJsProject({
name: 'my-vuejs-sample',
description: "my awesome vue project",
// ...
devDeps: [
'projen-vuejs'
]
});

project.synth();

FAQ
Do I have to write my configuration in JavaScript?
Not at all! JavaScript is the default, but it's also possible to write it in
Java, Python, TypeScript, or even JSON. This is made
possible by the jsii library which allows us
to write APIs once and generate libraries in several languages. You can choose
a different language by passing the --projenrc-ts, --projenrc-py, --projenrc-java, or
--projenrc-json flags when running projen new.
Note: using a .projenrc.json file to specify configuration only allows
accessing a subset of the entire API - the options which are passed to the
constructor of each project type.
How does projen work with my IDE?
projen has an unofficial VS Code extension. Check it out!
