Getting Started

Installation

scaffdog can be installed globally, but we recommend installing it locally on the project.

$ npm install --save-dev scaffdog

Quick Start

In the following tutorial you can start using scaffdog immediately !

Setup

By default, it stores the document file and configuration file in the .scaffdog directory.

Creating directories, configuration file and initial documents can be done with the init subcommand.

$ npx scaffdog init

? Please enter a document name. component

Setup of scaffdog 🐶 is complete!

  ✔ .scaffdog/config.js
  ✔ .scaffdog/component.md

Now you can do scaffold by running `$ scaffdog generate`.

Please refer to the following documents and customize it.
https://scaff.dog/docs/templates

After running the command, the .scaffdog/component.md file should have been generated. Rewrite that file as follows:

---
name: 'component'
root: '.'
output: '.'
questions:
  name: 'Please enter a component name.'
---

# `{{ inputs.name | pascal }}/index.ts`

```typescript
export * from './{{ inputs.name }}';
```

# `{{ inputs.name | pascal }}/{{ inputs.name | pascal }}.tsx`

```typescript
export type Props = React.PropsWithChildren<{}>;

export const {{ inputs.name | pascal }}: React.FC<Props> = ({ children }) => {
  return (
    <div>{children}</div>
  );
};
```

Let's scaffold using the component document!
