Project management tool for node projects with addon infrastructure

node-proj-management-tool

I always end up having a lot of projects and it quickly becomes a "bit of a mess" unless you follow some very strict conventions. Would be nice to have a tool to help lift that burden IMO.

Wouldn't even have to be specifically linked to ember projects, but just node based projects in general that follow the app/addon convention.

How would you structure your projects as they scale to a sizable number > 10 projects and > 10 addons of various types??

Some basic design ideas follows ...

Setup global defaults for projects and addons of specific project type to be handled


```
~/.node-proj-manager.config
  "ember": {
    home: {
      "projects":  "$USER_HOME/my-ember-home/ember-projects"
      "addons": "$USER_HOME/my-ember-home/ember-addons"
    },
    types: {
      "cli": {
        bins: {
          wrap-cli: 'ember-cli',
          proj-cli: 'ember-pman' // handles proj management tasks of ember-cli based proj
      }
    }
```

Notes: `ember-pman` should add keywords to `packages.json` "ember-project", "ember-cli-project"


Possibly (recommended?) set and use environment variables instead
```
$EMBER_PROJECTS_HOME = $USER_HOME/my-ember-home/ember-projects
$EMBER_ADDONS_HOME = $USER_HOME/my-ember-home/ember-addons
```

Recommended to leverage *npm local cache* to make it easier to find projects of a specific type/name etc.

https://www.npmjs.org/package/npm-local-cache

Creates a local searchable NPM cache. Good for building your own module repo based on NPM.

Functionality:
- Filter on custom keywords 
...


CLI API

`$ node-proj new my-demo --gen ember-cli`

Would wrap *ember-cli* (or other genrator cli tool) and perform "project management" tasks, such as putting main project containers in their place and assist with symlinking folders when necessary

Better to alias this, sth like this (pseudo syntax!)

alias="ember-proj=node-proj new $1 --gen ember-cli $."

```
/path/to/$EMBER_PROJECTS_HOME
  my-app-project
    my-demo-app
      /app
    my-demo-addons
      /dev
        ... 
      /dist
        ... 
```

$ ember-proj my-demo --path demos/experimental --keywords demo:experimental

Adds keywords to `packages.json`

``` 
/path/to/$EMBER_PROJECTS_HOME
  demos/experimental/my-app-project
```

For ember addons extracted from a project (dist)

`$ ember-addon my-cool-input --path components --keywords blueprint:component:input`

```
/path/to/$EMBER_ADDONS_HOME
  my-cool-input
    ...
```
