edcli

npm package to create directories and files with basic node templates using UNIX like commands touch and mkdir.

Overview

I work with NodeJS for server side applications and manually create modules and JS files, although simple and small I got tired of repeating the same small task so I wrote this to automatically generate common files. This also helps to keep things consistent.

Why "edcli"? Because, "ed-cli" and "nodge-gen" were already taken.

Install

From NPM

npm install -g @ebarahona/edcli

Download or clone repo then:

$ cd edcli

$ npm install -g

Usage

Use the package from the directory where you would like to generate module folders or files

Create a file:

cd my-app
edcli touch <file-name> or <file-name.js>

Create a module (creates directory and index.js in given directory):

edcli mkdir <module-name>

Notes

Will convert camelcase names to dash (hyphen) separated names

Example output file

/* jshint node: true, devel: true */
'use strict';

/**
 * Required Dependencies 
 * go here
 */

const helloWorld = () => {
  console.log('Hello World');  
};

const API = {
    helloWorld
};

module.exports = API;

TODO:
