anygen v0.0.3

You declare some directories to use as blueprints and then new modules are automatically generated based on those blueprints.

Install

Install globally to use the CLI.

npm install -g  anygen

Install locally to use programtically.

npm install --save  anygen

Configuration

Anygen requires you to set the path of your blueprints and the path where you want to generate you new modules.
In your package.json add the object anygen and set both paths. You can override this values using the cli options -b for blueprints_root and -m for modules_root.

//file: package.json
{
	"anygen": {
		"blueprints_root": "./path/to/your/blueprints/",
		"modules_root": "./src/modules"
	}
}

Examples

ganerate a new module:

anygen generate blueprint_name new_module_name

list all Blueprints:

anygen list

var anygen = require('anygen');
var builder = anygen.Builder;

var modules_root = ".src/modules/";
var blueprints_root = "./path/to/your/blueprints/";
var blueprint_name = "ng-component";//this must be a direct subfolder of blueprints_root path (an existing blueprint).
var new_module_name = "MyNewModule";
var builder = new Builder();

builder.addBlueprints(blueprints_root);
var files = builder.build(blueprint_name, new_module_name, modules_root);

console.log("Generated files:");
files.forEach(function (item) {
   console.log("   " + item);
});

API

For detailed info please check the API documentation generated using typedoc

Builder.addBlueprints(blueprints_root)

• blueprints_root: root path to the Blueprint generators, each subdirectory of the root_path is a Blueprint

Builder.build(blueprint_name, new_module_name, modules_root)

• blueprint_name: Name od the Blueprint to be used (a direct subdirectory of blueprints_oot)
• new_module_name: the name of the new module that is generated
• modules_root: path where the new module will be generated, new module path = modules_root + new_module_name

Creating Your Blueprints

A blueprint is any direct ">" subdirectory of your blueprints_root directory.

path/to/your/blueprints_root
  +──  blueprint1
  |   └──  __name__
  |       +── __name__Controller.js
  |       +── __name__Controller.js
  |       └── __name__Template.html
  └──  blueprint2
      └──  __name__
          +── __name__Controller.js
          +── __name__Controller.js
          └── __name__Template.html

The __name__ string:
Any __name__ string in a directory or file name will be replaced by the new_module_name when the build process is executed.
Any __name__ string withing the content of the Blueprint files also will be replaced by the new_module_name.

Examples of the Blueprints can be found withing the repo: tools/blueprints/.

• single-dir blueprint: shows how to create a blueprint with all the files in a single directory with the name of the module
• multiple-dir blueprint: show how to create a module where the files are split within multiple directories. in this case the modules_root parameter should be the common root af all the split directories and blueprint should replicate the subdirectory structure of this common root.
