Code template generator

Create a flow to generate redundant code and save time.

Summary

Using a YAML configuration file and template files you are able to create any piece of code. Example

Flow - Actions

Action configurtion params can access previous variable using #{VAR_NAME_HERE}

You can access the process execution path using : #{__dirname}

AskAction

Action to ask a question and store its answer inside a variable.

- ask:
    for: 'your phrase/question ?'
    variable: 'YOUR_VAR_NAME'
    default_value: null

CreateAction

Action to perform file/folder creation.

type - folder

- create:
    type: 'folder'
    outputPath: '#{OUTPUT_PATH}'
    foldername: '#{COMPONENT_NAME}'
    recursive: false

type - file

Template params is optional. If no template file is provided the output file will be empty.

Template file example:

here is my template file #{ACCESS_MY_NAME_VAR_HERE}

const #{COMPONENT_NAME} = () => {}

function <#{FUNCTION_TYPES}>(#{FUNCTION_ARG_1}, #{FUNCTION_ARG_2}) {
   //
}

even simple text works #{MY_VAR}

- create:
    type: 'file'
    template: '#{__dirname}/component/barrel.tpl'
    outputPath: '#{OUTPUT_PATH}/#{COMPONENT_NAME}'
    filename: 'index.ts'

SearchAction

Action to perform a search on disk and assign the result in a variable.

- search:
    for: 'your phrase/question here'
    type: 'folder' # currently the only type supported (later: file)
    variable: 'FOLDER_FOUND'
    root: '#{__dirname}' # current process execution path

Flow - YAML Configuration
