setup-data-project

A CLI tool to quickly set up a data project with essential folders, configurations, and documentation.

# Deno
deno run --min-dep-age=0 -A jsr:@nshiab/setup-data-project

# Node
npx @nshiab/setup-data-project

# Bun
bunx @nshiab/setup-data-project

The Deno dependency-age bypass is temporary while the 2.0 dependencies are newly published. It is tracked for removal in issue #15.

• Creates a standardized folder structure.
• Ensures necessary files like .env, .gitignore, and README.md exist.
• Lets you choose between simple-data-analysis-core, the full simple-data-analysis package, and journalism libraries, then fetches their README files and complete API documentation from the matching version tags on GitHub for LLM use.
• Updates project configuration (e.g., deno.json or package.json) with relevant tasks.

The library is maintained by Nael Shiab, computational journalist and senior data producer for CBC News.
