generate-cname

Generate the CNAME file for a web project. Is this necessary? No, not at all. A CNAME file is one line and takes a couple seconds to create. The point of this generator is to automate the creation of the CNAME file based on configuration settings, as a small part of a larger build.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save generate-cname

Usage

CLI

Install

First install generate and this module either globally or locally:

$ npm install --global generate generate-cname

Generate a CNAME file on demand

The following command will prompt you for the URL to use, then will write a CNAME file to the cwd or specified --dest:

$ gen cname 
$ gen cname --dest ./foo

Use as a plugin

You can add a cname task to your generate generator by adding the following line in generator.js:

app.use(require('generate-cname'));

Example

Given you have a generator named generate-foo, you would run the following to generate a cname file:

$ gen foo:cname

You can also run the cname task from any other task in your generator, so that a cname file is automatically generated along with other files.
