izi-template

izi-template is a Node.js library for template generation, designed to simplify the process of creating project structures based on predefined templates.

Installation

To use izi-template, you need to have Node.js installed. After that, you can install the library globally using npm:

yarn add -D izi-template

Usage

Command-Line Interface (CLI)

izi-template [projectName] [structurePath] [customPath]

• projectName: Name of the project to be generated.
• structurePath: Path to the structure file defining the project template.
• customPath (optional): Custom path to place the generated project.

Example

izi-template myProject ./templates/project-structure.js customFolder

NPM Scripts

You can also use izi-template as part of your NPM scripts. Add the following scripts to your package.json file:

"scripts": {
  "make:project": "izi-template [projectName] [structurePath] [customPath]",
  "make:custom-project": "npm run make:project -- myProject ./templates/project-structure.js customFolder"
}

Run the scripts using:

npm run make:project
# or
npm run make:custom-project

Project Structure

The structure of the generated project is defined by a template file. The template file should export a makeStructure function, which specifies the project's directory structure.

Example template file (project-structure.js):

const makeStructure = (projectName) => {
  return {
    [`${projectName}/src`]: {
      "index.js": "console.log('Hello, ${projectName}!');",
      utils: {
        "helper.js": "/* Helper functions */",
      },
    },
    [`${projectName}/config`]: {
      "settings.json": '{ "apiKey": "your-api-key" }',
    },
  };
};

module.exports = { makeStructure };
