generify

generify  

A reusable project generator that copies file recursively, while replacing keywords from passed data.

Example

'use strict'

const generify = require('generify')
const source = './template'
const dest = '/tmp/generify-test'
const data = { hello: 'hello world' }

generify(source, dest, data, function(err) {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err)
  } else {
    console.log('ok!')
  }
})

This will replace all the __hello__ patterns found in all files with the 'hello world' string.

__ handling

If a file begins with __ that will be automatically converted into a .. This is useful for generating .gitignore files.

Executable

generify also offers an executable that can be called with:

Usage: generify template destination [json file]

Where the json file contains the data to be replaced.
