Disclaimer

This project tries to solve tedious copy&paste operations from our daily workflow. Please notice that the generated files will require some external libraries such as Vue, @vue/test-utils or Sass loader configuration. Make sure these libraries are available in your project.

TODO

1. Add tests(!)
2. Add ability to define folder path (now it only creates a folder in the current directory)
3. [email protected] is no longer maintained
4. ...
