file-structure-generator

File structure generator

$3

This is a package that allows for generating files structure in project,
basing on passed configuration file. It could be highly usable and time-saving
for projects, where you have to create a bunch of files for you brand-new component.

$3

You can install file-structure-generator using following command:
``sh
$ npm i file-structure-generator
`

After local installation, .fsg directory is being created. There you have:
- fsg.conf.js - a template config file,
- default/ - appropriate template directory for it.

You can use them as reference.

$3


To make tool working properly, create appropriate config file.
With it, you can define powerful and universal rules sets.
Script is looking at ./fsg.conf.js file by default.

As you can see, there are many properties you can use to make your config more customized
and universal. What's worth to notice, there are 3 levels of generatedFile object:
- rule level
- type level
- global level

Values from rule level object are the most important,
so the script is filling up final generatedFile object with following schema:
`
finalObject = ruleLevelObject <- typeLevelObject <- globalLevelObject <- defaultObject
`

#### Examples
Example 1: you've defined following objects:
- at rule level: {nameTag: 'generateNameRule', case: 'snake'}
- at type level: {nameTag: 'generateNameType', case: 'camel'}
- at global level: {nameTag: 'generateNameGlobal', case: 'pascal'}

Final object will look like this: {nameTag: 'generateNameRule', case: 'snake'}

Example 2: you've defined following objects:
- at rule level: {nameTag: 'generateName'}
- at type level: undefined
- at global level: {case: 'pascal'}

Final object will look like this: {nameTag: 'generateName', case: 'pascal'}

Example 3: you've defined following objects:
- at rule level: undefined
- at type level: {nameTag: 'generateName'}
- at global level: {nameTag: 'generateBetterName'}

Final object will look like this: {nameTag: 'generateName', case: 'kebab'}

Note: Please make sure your generatedFile.nameTag is wrapped with double
braces ('{{}}') in real file/directory name in your templates directive.
So e.g. you have to create following file:

./generate-files/filter/{{generateName}}/{{generateName}}.filter.js

To generate files structure, use following command:
`sh
$ fsg --[type|t]= --[name|n]= [--[config|c]=]
`
where is type of structure that's going to be generated,
defined in config file. You can use any-cased of component.

#### Local installation
For local installation, you will have to add following script in your package.json:
`json
"scripts": {
"fsg": "./node_modules/.bin/fsg"
},
`
then you can run script by using npm run fsg with appropriate parameters, so e.g.:
`
npm run fsg -- --t=default --n=testName
``
