Simple utility for creating new projects in Sbt
Steps it took to get this project started
$ touch build.sbt
$ mkdir -p src/{main,test}/scala
$ e build.sbt # fill in the basics (name, organization, version)
$ touch README.md && e README.md
$ sbt
# start coding
Desired steps to take to start this project
$ sbt
$ np name:np
# start coding
^ No context switching ^.
Already have a project and want a sub project? No problem.
$ sbt
$ np name:my-sub-project dir:sub-project-dir
This will create a new sbt project source tree for a project named my-sub-project under the directory named sub-project-dir relative you your projects base directory. From your main build configuration you can use this as a stub and reference it as.
lazy val sub = Project("my-sub-project", file("sub-project-dir"))
Or remove the generated stub build.sbt and just use the generate source tree

In most cases a global installation will make the most sense as the target usage for this plugin is the creation of new projects
If you have a ~/project directory created, in a ~/project/build.sbt file add the following
addSbtPlugin("me.lessis" % "np" % "0.2.0")
resolvers += Resolver.url("sbt-plugin-releases",
url("http://scalasbt.artifactoryonline.com/scalasbt/sbt-plugin-releases/"))(
Resolver.ivyStylePatterns)
Or if you prefer, you can call depend on the project reference as a git repository.
import sbt._
object Plugins extends Build {
lazy val root = Project("root", file(".")) dependsOn(
uri("git://github.com/softprops/np.git#0.2.0")
)
}
Be sure to explicitly mix np's settings into your build definition.
seq(npSettings: _*)
Doing this in a global .sbt file under ~/.sbt will make np's setting available to all of your sbt projects.
If you have a lot of projects that use the same ivy organization id (your own) or you always start projects with the same version conventions (a SNAPSHOT), you may want to define your own custom global overrides.
To do so, in a ~/.sbt/np.sbt file, add the following.
seq(npSettings:_*)
(NpKeys.defaults in (Compile, NpKeys.np)) ~= {
_.copy(org="me.lessis", version="0.1.0-SNAPSHOT")
}
See the np option reference section below for all available options
np # generates a new project given a set of options
scout(for np) # detects potential conflicts with generating a project, recommended before np
usage(for np) # displays usage options
defaults(for np) # default values for options
np generates sbt projects given key:value options. Below is a list of current options
org Project organization. Defaults to defaults key sbt built-in default
name Project name. Defaults to defaults key or sbt built-in default
version Project version. Defaults to defaults key or sbt built-in default
plugin Boolean indicator of whether the project is a plugin project. Defaults to defaults key or false
dir Path to dir where np should generate project. Defaults to defaults key or '.'
Please post any issues or ideas you have to np's issues
