JavaScript Boilerplate Generator

Scaffold a starter JavaScript (or TypeScript) file — pick a module format (ESM, CommonJS, UMD, IIFE) and a skeleton (class, singleton, module pattern, tiny event emitter, state store, debounce/throttle, fetch wrapper, Web Component, DOM-ready) with strict mode, JSDoc, exports and error handling toggled to taste.

What this tool does

It writes the boilerplate at the top of a new JavaScript file for you — the module wrapper, a chosen skeleton, and the small conventional extras — so you can start on the actual logic.

Module formats

ES module (import / export) for modern code. CommonJS (require / module.exports) for older Node. UMD works as ESM, CJS or a browser global. IIFE is a self-contained browser script.

Skeletons

Empty, class, singleton, the module (revealing) pattern, a tiny on/off/emit event emitter, a subscribe-based state store, a debounce + throttle pair, a fetch wrapper with a timeout and JSON handling, a customElements Web Component, and a DOM-ready wrapper.

Extras

'use strict' where it applies, a JSDoc @fileoverview header, named or default export, a CONFIG object, and a top-level try/catch.

Privacy

Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Can it output TypeScript?
Yes. Toggle TypeScript and the skeletons gain type annotations and the file is offered as .ts.
Which module format should I use?
ES modules for anything new — browsers and current Node both support them. CommonJS only if you are working in an older Node codebase. UMD if a single file has to run everywhere.
Is the event emitter production-ready?
It is a minimal ~15-line on/off/emit implementation — fine for small apps. For anything larger use Node's events or a dedicated library.
What does the DOM-ready skeleton do?
It runs your code after DOMContentLoaded, or immediately if the document has already finished parsing — the standard safe pattern for a browser script.
Is anything sent to a server?
No. The file is assembled entirely in your browser.
