generator-ho

Generator for aliased generator functionality.

Why?

With a simple JSON config file you can save yourself from a lot of typing and expose all needed sub generators for your generator in a simple way:

yo react-webpack-redux:action addItem
# vs
yo ho action addItem

See Examples below for more details.

Installation

Install the generator globally:

sudo npm install generator-ho -g

Usage

To use ho with your project just add a ho.json file describing your aliases:

{
  "command": {
    "generator": "some-generator",
    "subgen": "sub",
    "parameters": [ "name"]
  }
}

subgen and parameters are optional.

Listing available commands

To list commands that may be invoked via ho, just run:

yo ho --help

Invoking commands

You can now invoke those aliased commands by running:

yo ho command arg1 arg2

Examples

If ho.json looks like this:

{
  "action": {
    "generator": "react-webpack-redux",
    "subgen": "action",
    "parameters": [ "name" ]
  },
  "reducer": {
    "generator": "react-webpack-redux",
    "subgen": "reducer",
    "parameters": [ "name" ]
  },
  "component": {
    "generator": "react-webpack",
    "subgen": "component",
    "parameters": [ "name" ]
  }
}

it will produce a help like this:

Usage:
  yo ho:app [options] <command>

Options:
  -h,   --help          # Print the generator's options and usage
        --skip-cache    # Do not remember prompt answers             Default: false
        --skip-install  # Do not automatically install dependencies  Default: false

Arguments:
  command  # Available commands to invoke:
           + action <name> (yo react-webpack-redux:action <name>)
           + reducer <name> (yo react-webpack-redux:reducer <name>)
           + component <name> (yo react-webpack:component <name>)

           Type: String  Required: true

and will allow for the following commands to be executed:

yo ho action addItem
yo ho reducer item
yo ho component ItemList
