microgen
micro-generator for individual files, easy like sunday morning
Yet another generator; how's it different?
- any file, anywhere on disk can be a template
- no need to install templates (like heavy weight project generators)
- easiest way to fill in templates, using simple handlebars placeholders
- no data files required (like other handlebars cli's)
- you'll be prompted to fill in the data at runtime
Installation
$ npm install microgen # --global
Usage
$ microgen --help
Usage: microgen <template-file> [output-file]
Options:
-h, --help show usage help
-p, --pipe pipe output to stdout, instead of writing to file
output-file if not specified, it will be $PWD/<template-file>
* if <template-file> has an ".hbs" extension,
it will be removed from the output-file name
How does it work?
A microgen template is any file that can have handlebars placeholders. Microgen will scan the template for placeholders and prompt you to fill in a value for each one.
Supported placeholders:
- Variable
{{some-value}}
- Block
{{#some-boolean}}something{{else}}something else{{/some-boolean}}
-
{{^}}
is the same as{{else}}
- You can use string literals, e.g.
{{#"Are you happy"}}great{{/"Are you happy"}}
-
- Comment
{{!some string to display when prompting}}
-
{{!--x--}}
is the same as{{!x}}
-
{{!}}
just adds a newline to the display
-
For example, say you have a package.json
template file:
{{!
== Let the Good Times Roll ==
}}
{
"name": "{{name}}",
"repository": "{{owner}}/{{name}}",
"description": "{{description}}",
{{!}}{{#"Include Dependencies"}}
"dependencies": {
{{#assert-dotenv}}
"assert-dotenv": "3.0.0",{{/assert-dotenv}}{{!}}{{#"Use a CLI Helper [meow, inquirer, commander]"}}{{#meow}}
"meow": "^3.0.0",{{else}}{{#inquirer}}
"inquirer": "^1.0.2",{{^}}{{#commander}}
"commander": "^2.9.0",{{/commander}}{{/inquirer}}{{/meow}}{{/"Use a CLI Helper [meow, inquirer, commander]"}}
}
{{/"Include Dependencies"}}
}
Microgen will prompt you like so:
== Let the Good Times Roll ==
name: smile
owner: busterc
description: writes :) to stdout
Include Dependencies (Y/n): y
assert-dotenv (Y/n): y
Use a CLI Helper [meow, inquirer, commander] (Y/n): y
meow (Y/n): n
inquirer (Y/n): n
commander (Y/n): y
...and the resulting output file will contain:
{
"name": "smile",
"repository": "busterc/smile",
"description": "writes :) to stdout",
"dependencies": {
"assert-dotenv": "3.0.0",
"commander": "^2.9.0",
}
}
