npm install @braintools/templatePart of the Brainstack, @braintools/template is a zero-code template generation and instantiation tool for lazy coders. This npm package allows you to create templates based on a source directory and then instantiate those templates by replacing tokens with user-specified values. The tool automatically handles token generation and replacement, making it a powerful utility to speed up the development process.
- Token Generation: Automatically generates unique tokens based on the values you provide. No need for manual token management.
- Token Replacement: Instantiates templates by replacing tokens with user-specified values, quickly creating new instances based on the template.
- Metadata Saving: Saves token metadata (__template__meta__.json) in the template directory, making it easy to reuse and share templates.
- Hassle-Free: User-friendly prompts guide you through the process, making it easy for both new and experienced developers.
