Pastry-CLI

This CLI aims to help speed up your workflow, guidelines and code reusability by adding support for pasting template building blocks.

Since it's language agnostic it can be used anywhere with minimal setup.

Installation

Install with NPM:

npm i -g pastry-cli

Install with Yarn:

yarn global add pastry-cli

Setup/Usage

  1. Create a /pastries directory in your project source directory.
  2. Populate the directory with template files/folders.
  3. Run pastry inside your terminal while located inside your project.

The cli will guide you through the rest of the steps.

It will look up for a /pastries directory starting from your cwd.

This means that you can have default pastries for all projects by placing them in a parent directory.

Name replacement

You can replace any text including filenames with the name you provide when running pastry.

For example: running pastry -n testFile would change the following:

PLACEHOLDER.ts ~> testFile.ts

When changing text inside a file you have more options:

export default PLACEHOLDER' ~> export default testFile

export default UPPER_PLACEHOLDER' ~> export default TESTFILE

export default LOWER_PLACEHOLDER' ~> export default testfile

export default PASCAL_PLACEHOLDER' ~> export default TestFile

Optional Snippets

With optional snippets you can predefine parts of code you might want to use in a file. For example this will prompt you if you want to include the log snippet:

// pastry-start log
console.log('I may be part of the file, yay!')
// pastry-end log

Renaming existing files

By running pastry --rename you can rename existing files. Currently, there is only support to rename together with the parent directory. The name of the directory will be used as PLACEHOLDER is used normally.

Available arguments

Argument Shorthand Description
--name -n Define the new name
--path -p Define the target path

Configuration

Configuration can be done by creating a .pastryconfig.json in the root directory for the project.
