move-stuff

We should take ur config files and push them somewhere else

You might be annoyed with the amount of config files in your project root. Individual packages can build support for their config files to live in a separate directory (or pull config from your package.json), but that puts the onus on the module authors. move-stuff gives a quick and simple way to stop the sprawl of config files so you can reclaim your project root.

We create and destroy symlinks for everything found in config (or a directory that you specify in package.json['move-stuff']['location']).

Usage

# Example usage with npx
npx move-stuff create
npx move-stuff destroy

# Full usage:
Usage: move-stuff [options]

Commands:
  move-stuff create   Creates links to config files                 [aliases: c]
  move-stuff destroy  Destroys links to config files                [aliases: d]

Options:
      --version   Show version number                                  [boolean]
  -d              Destroy links to config files
  -l, --location  Give path to location of config files
  -h, --help      Show help                                            [boolean]

We recommend wrapping your scripts like so:

before:

// package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "nuxt build",
    "dev": "nuxt dev",
    "generate": "nuxt generate",
    "preview": "nuxt preview",
    "postinstall": "nuxt postinstall"
  },
}

after:

// package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "move-stuff create && nuxt build && move-stuff destroy",
    "dev": "move-stuff create && nuxt dev && move-stuff destroy",
    "movestuff:create": "move-stuff create",
    "movestuff:destroy": "move-stuff destroy",
    "generate": "move-stuff create && nuxt generate && move-stuff destroy",
    "preview": "move-stuff create && nuxt preview && move-stuff destroy",
    "postinstall": "move-stuff create && nuxt postinstall && move-stuff destroy"
  },
}

Using a different directory

By default, we search for config files in the config directory, but you can specify something else in your package.json by adding a move-stuff key like so:

// package.json
{
  "move-stuff": {
    "location": "my-config-files"
  }
}
