Demo

In this repository, use the demo folder to test the generator. Here is the folder hierarchy:

To help customized the file name {component} will be replace by the componentName defined in the generator parameters.

The following template {component}.interface.ts:

// Angular imports
import { ElementRef, Renderer } from '@angular/core';
// Custom imports
import { {Name}Config } from './config/{name}.config';

export interface {Name}Interface<T> {
    /*
     * Model from the {name}.
     */
    model: T;
    /*
     * Stores config for the {name}.
     */
    readonly options: {Name}Config;
    /*
     * init
     */
    ngOnInit(): void;
}

By running this function

generator({
    componentName: "button",
    customTemplatesUrl: './templates/',
    dest: 'src',
    templateName: 'component'
});

Will generate this file

// Angular imports
import { ElementRef, Renderer } from '@angular/core';
// Custom imports
import { ButtonConfig } from './config/button.config';

export interface ButtonInterface<T> {
    /*
     * Model from the button.
     */
    model: T;
    /*
     * Stores config for the button.
     */
    readonly options: ButtonConfig;
    /*
     * init
     */
    ngOnInit(): void;
}
