🚀 LaunchCraft

Stack-aware auto-generation of Docker, CI/CD, and deployment configs — right inside VS Code.

Tired of writing boilerplate Dockerfiles, configuring docker-compose.yml networks, and guessing CI/CD pipeline syntax for every new project? LaunchCraft acts as your personal DevOps engineer — it automatically detects your project's framework, asks a few quick questions, and scaffolds your entire deployment infrastructure in seconds.

✨ Features

• 🧠 Auto-Detection Engine — Instantly recognizes your workspace stack (Express, Spring Boot, Angular, React, FastAPI, and more) by scanning project files like package.json, pom.xml, and requirements.txt.
• 🐳 Docker Ready — Generates optimized, multi-stage Dockerfiles and .dockerignore files tailored exactly to your framework and runtime version.
• 🔗 Database Wiring — Automatically generates docker-compose.yml with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis pre-linked and network-configured for your application.
• ⚙️ CI/CD Pipelines — Scaffolds ready-to-run Jenkinsfile or GitHub Actions workflows with build, test, and deploy stages.
• ☁️ Cloud Deployment Manifests — Generate native config files for Railway (railway.toml), Render (render.yaml), or Fly.io (fly.toml) instantly.
• 📖 Deployment Guide — Every run produces a DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md that opens automatically with step-by-step instructions specific to your chosen stack and platform.

📦 Installation

From the Marketplace

Search for LaunchCraft in the VS Code Extensions panel (Ctrl+Shift+X) or install directly from the Marketplace page.

Local Development

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/nav0804/launchcraft.git
cd launchcraft

# 2. Install dependencies
npm install

# 3. Compile TypeScript
npm run compile

Then in VS Code:

• Open any dummy project folder in that window.
• Run LaunchCraft: Initialize Deployment from the Command Palette.

🏗️ Architecture

LaunchCraft is built in TypeScript and engineered around SOLID principles with a fully scalable plugin-style architecture.

src/
├── detector/          # Chain of Responsibility — detects project stack
├── generators/        # Strategy Pattern — one generator per output file type
│   └── strategies/    # Swappable strategies per language/framework
├── templates/         # Raw template strings per stack
│   └── registry/      # Central TemplateRegistry — register new stacks in one line
└── GeneratorFactory   # Factory Pattern — assembles the generator pipeline

Design Patterns used:

Adding support for a new language requires zero changes to existing code — drop in a new detector, a new strategy, and one registry line.
