Scaffolding

Scaffolding is a package created for easy building of directories and files, based on a blueprint. The package was designed for create reusability, allowing template variables, and CRUD operations for blueprints.

Examples of usage:

import { createScaffoldingService } from '@gus_hill/scaffolding';

const scaffoldingService = createScaffoldingService();
scaffoldingService.build({
  blueprint: {
    items: [
      new DirectoryBlueprint('src', [
        new FileBlueprint('index.js', 'console.log("Hello World");'),
      ]),
      new FileBlueprint('package.json', '{ "name": "$packageName" }'),
    ],
  },
  variables: {
    packageName: "sample_package"
  },
  outputDirectory: "C:\\sample_package"
})
  .then(() => console.log("Built blueprint successfully!"))
  .catch((err) => console.error("An error has occurred", err));

import { createScaffoldingService, createBlueprintService } from '@gus_hill/scaffolding';

const blueprintsStorageDir = "C:\\blueprints";
const blueprintService = createBlueprintService(blueprintsStorageDir);
const scaffoldingService = createScaffoldingService();

blueprintService.loadBlueprint("test_blueprint")
  .then((blueprint) => scaffoldingService.build({ blueprint }));

How to use

The two main classes of the package are ScaffoldingService, used for building a blueprint, and BlueprintService, used for CRUD operations on blueprints.

ScaffoldingService

The ScaffoldingService provides the method build, which can be used to build a blueprint into actual directories/files. You can also define in which directory the blueprint will be built, as well as variables of the template.

BlueprintService

The BlueprintService provides useful methods for persisting your blueprints for long-term usage. The available methods are: saveBlueprint, loadBlueprint, listBlueprints, deleteBlueprint, blueprintExists.
