Codegen with Plop Generators

Our Starterkit goes beyond the setup by helping you skip boilerplate code through Plop-based generators:

• add-workspace
• add-script
• add-schema
• add-route
• add-resolver
• add-generator
• add-form

Using generators programmatically

Passing args from the terminal

Any generator can be run with pre-filled answers. Use npm run gen for the interactive picker, or npm run add:<generator> for a specific generator:

Positional args (order matches the prompts; --args optional):

npm run add:schema -- --args <workspacePath> <schemaName> <schemaDescription>

npm run add:schema -- packages/@green-stack-core MySchema "Description"

Named args (use --key value; --args is optional):

npm run add:schema -- --workspacePath packages/@green-stack-core --schemaName MySchema --schemaDescription "Description"

Checkbox/array prompts support space-separated values:

npm run add:workspace -- --workspaceStructure schemas resolvers components

If you pass too few arguments, the generator will prompt for the rest. Pass _ with --args to explicitly ask for a specific question:

npm run add:schema -- --args 'packages/@app-core' _ 'Some New Schema'
 
>>> ? What is the name of the schema?
