cre-file

cre-file is node.js CLI which generate file by referring the input text file.

CREATE ONE TO GENERATE MANY🤞!

The core reason behind creating this CLI is, I am maintain a punchlist, a text file where I planned the functions that I need to create and the function(js files) which resides in the same directory where the file is created. I got bored after doing this repeatedly for week. After watching Automating Tasks with Node CLIs (with Ahmad Awais) got inspired to automate this process using node CLI.

Use Case

If your bored/lazy 🦥 to create tones of files, then use the CLI to automate🤖 that process.

How to Install

1. Install node.js

2. npm i -global cre-file

I have test this in only windows to be precise win 10, one I have test with other platform i will update the doc

How to use

1. open cmd

2. cd <path_of_the_intended_directory>

3. create a text file with file name that you want to generate inside "|<text_name>|". For multiple files separate each "|<text_name>|" by new line.

|Filename1.js| 
|Filename2.txt|

4. cre-file gen <text_file_name>

Example

punchlist.txt

[X] queue with array |queue_arr_imp.js| 
[X] priority queue |priority_queue_imp.js|
