CLI tool to generate a Dockerfile for running a NodeJS application, and starting a Docker container from it.

# Installation

`npm install -g dockerize-app`

# Useage

```
# creates dockerfile, builds image and runs container
cd /path/to/node/app
dockerize
```

### Dockerfile generation

* Sets node:x.x.x as the base image, where x.x.x is the latest version (using https://semver.io), which satisifies:
 * .nvmrc file
 * OR engines.node property from package.json
* Adds source code into docker image
* Runs `npm install`
* Sets start command as npm start or node [entrypoint.js] depending on package.json settings

See [issues](https://github.com/brainsiq/dockerize-node-app/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Aenhancement) for upcoming features.
