An efficient code generator.
coge is a fork of hygen. It aims to provide more flexible and efficient code generator tool.
hygen is the simple, fast, and scalable code generator that lives in your project.
✅ Build ad-hoc generators quickly and full on project scaffolds.
✅ Local generators per project (and global, if you must)
✅ Built-in scaffolds to quickly create generators
✅ Full logic templates and rendering
✅ Prompts and flows for taking in arguments
✅ Automatic CLI arguments
✅ Adding new files
✅ Injecting into existing files
✅ Running shell commands
✅ Super fast, constantly optimized for speed
✅ Support global and local generator module with gen- prefix
✅ Support deep attribute options with CLI arguments
✅ Automatic attribute value type inference
Coge can be used to supercharge your workflow with Redux, React Native, Express and more, by allowing you avoid manual work and generate, add, inject and perform custom operations on your codebase.
If you're on macOS and have Homebrew:
$ brew tap cogejs/tap
$ brew install coge
If you have node.js installed, you can install globally with npm (or Yarn):
$ npm i -g coge
If you like a no-strings-attached approach, you can use npx without installing globally:
$ npx coge ...
For other platforms, see releases.
Initialize coge in your project (do this once per project):
$ cd your-project
$ coge init
Build your first generator, called mygen:
$ coge generator:new mygen
create: generators/mygen/new/hello.ejs.t
Now you can use it:
$ coge mygen:gen
create: app/hello.js
You've generated content into the current working directory in app/. To see how is the generator built, look at
generators (which you should check-in to your project from now on, by the way).
You can build a generator that uses an interactive prompt to fill in a variable:
$ coge generator:prompt mygen
create: generators/mygen/prompt/hello.ejs.t
create: generators/mygen/prompt/prompt.js
Done! Now let's use mygen:
$ coge mygen:prompt
? What's your message? hello
create: app/hello.js
