Codegen with Turbo Generators

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

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

Using generators programmatically

Bypassing prompts in the terminal

Any generator in the project can be called from the terminal with pre-filled answers to the prompts. This will bypass the question being asked.

npx turbo gen <generator-name> --args <answer-1> <answer-2> <answer_3> ...

This also works with some of the npm scripts predefined in the project, but you’ll need to pass the -- argument to separate the npm script arguments from the npm command line arguments, e.g.:

npm run add:schema -- --args <workspacePath> <name> <description>

Take note that the order of the arguments is important.

Pass them in the order they are defined as prompts in the generator / asked without providing them.

If you pass too little arguments, the generator will simply ask you to answer the rest of the questions.

You can also pass _ instead of an answer to an argument to still have that specific question asked, e.g:

npx turbo gen <generator-name> --args <answer-1> _ <answer_3> ...

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