new-html | A cli tool to `touch` with that HTML

How many times have you written a template for a blank html page?

For me, the answer was way too many.

So, I made this tiny script as my first npm tool.

Now, you can get started from the command line with all of the unflexibibility usually reserved for an IDE.

Rejoice, and move on to real work.

Usage

new-html --help

yields

  Usage: new-html [options] [target-file]

  Generate a blank html file.

  Options:

    -h, --help  output usage information
    --force  write to target file even if it already exists

Output

The target file will be created with this template.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title></title>
        <script></script>
        <style></style>
    </head>
    
    <body>
        <div></div>
    </body>
</html>

TODO

Evolve into a complicated and cumbersome framework.
Add cli options to abstain from non-mandatory elements.
infer file extension when missing.
add default filename info to --help.
explain safety/--force in --help description.
add indent-size option (pass to HTML.pretty)
