create-plop
Quickly scarfold templates with plop.js integration
Introduction
This is tool that generate template with plop that actually built with plop :)
Why you want to use it I been using plop for many years now, it's been my number one go-to tool for quickly create generator for templates for different kind of teams. It's been battle field test on Angular.js / React (preact) / Vue 2~3 Projects. Here are a few reasons why I use it.
1. Hackability
Traditional CLI tool is like a blackbox, you really can't do anything with it; unless you take the source and hack it.
With plopfile, that's the source of your cli! And you (or your team) can add feature as needed.
2. Great for manage project
Guide line, documentation, even face-to-face lectures ... nobody cares or remember 5 minutes afterward; and they (your team member) just gone back to dump shit all over the places. But with an official team cli tool. You have control over the file structure, how things are organized, and new team member can jump right in just by running the tool couple times; they can hit-the-ground-start-running. Isn't that awesome?
3. Adding test is no longer an after thought
While you are generating template for your component, store etc, generate test template file at the same time; save time and enforcing writing test (even just simple unit test). And the test file can be as throughout as you make it to be.
And that just a few of the benefit of using this system. I do believe you will find a cli tool that can be tailor to your need is a great asset to your project.
