Interfaces
Main
Scaffold
▸ Scaffold(config): Promise<void>
Create a scaffold using given options.
Create files
To create a file structure to output, use any directory and file structure you would like.
Inside folder names, file names or file contents, you may place {{ var }} where var is either
name which is the scaffold name you provided or one of the keys you provided in the data option.
The contents and names will be replaced with the transformed values so you can use your original structure as a boilerplate for other projects, components, modules, or even single files.
The files will maintain their structure, starting from the directory containing the template (or the template itself
if it is already a directory), and will output from that directory into the directory defined by config.output.
Helpers
Helpers are functions you can use to transform your {{ var }} contents into other values without having to
pre-define the data and use a duplicated key.
Any functions you provide in helpers option will also be available to you to make custom formatting as you see fit
(for example, formatting a date)
For available default values, see DefaultHelpers.

Ƭ FileResponse<T>: T | FileResponseHandler<T>
Represents a response for file path information. Can either be:
T- static value- A function with the following signature which returns

ScaffoldConfigMap
Ƭ ScaffoldConfigMap: Record<string, ScaffoldConfig>
A mapping of scaffold template keys to their configurations.
Each configuration is a ScaffoldConfig object.
The key is the name of the template, and the value is the configuration for that template.
When no template key is provided to the scaffold command, the "default" template is used.

ScaffoldConfigFile
Ƭ ScaffoldConfigFile: AsyncResolver<ScaffoldCmdConfig, ScaffoldConfigMap>
The scaffold config file is either:
- A ScaffoldConfigMap object
- A function that returns a ScaffoldConfigMap object
- A promise that resolves to a ScaffoldConfigMap object
- A function that returns a promise that resolves to a ScaffoldConfigMap object

These are available for subdirHelper.
| Helper name | Example code | Example output |

DateHelpers
Ƭ DateHelpers: "date" | "now"
The names of the available helper functions that relate to dates.
| Helper name | Description | Example code | Example output |
|---|---|---|---|
now | Current date with format | {{ now "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm" }} | 2042-01-01 15:00 |
now (with offset) | Current date with format, and with offset | {{ now "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm" -1 "hours" }} | 2042-01-01 14:00 |
date | Custom date with format | {{ date "2042-01-01T15:00:00Z" "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm" }} | 2042-01-01 15:00 |
date (with offset) | Custom date with format, and with offset | {{ date "2042-01-01T15:00:00Z" "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm" -1 "days" }} | 2041-31-12 15:00 |
date (with date from --data) | Custom date with format, with data from the data config option | {{ date myCustomDate "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm" }} | 2042-01-01 12:00 |
Further details:
-
We use
date-fnsfor parsing/manipulating the dates. If you want more information on the date tokens to use, refer to their format documentation. -
The date helper format takes the following arguments:
(
date: string,
format: string,
offsetAmount?: number,
offsetType?: "years" | "months" | "weeks" | "days" | "hours" | "minutes" | "seconds"
) -
The now helper (for current time) takes the same arguments, minus the first one (
date) as it is implicitly the current date.

DefaultHelpers
Ƭ DefaultHelpers: CaseHelpers | DateHelpers
The names of all the available helper functions in templates. Simple-Scaffold provides some built-in text transformation filters usable by Handlebars.js.
For example, you may use {{ snakeCase name }} inside a template file or filename, and it will
replace My Name with my_name when producing the final value.

Logging (const)
LogLevel
• Const LogLevel: Object
The amount of information to log when generating scaffold.
When not none, the selected level will be the lowest level included.

show warning and error, but not info or debug.
Default
info
Type declaration
| Name | Type | Description |

none | "none" | Silent output |
debug | "debug" | Debugging information. Very verbose and only recommended for troubleshooting. |
info | "info" | The regular level of logging. Major actions are logged to show the scaffold progress. Default ts |
warning | "warning" | Warnings such as when file fails to replace token values properly in template. |
error | "error" | Errors, such as missing files, bad replacement token syntax, or un-writable directories. |
