Geny

A tool for building code generators.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'geny'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install geny

You are tired of writing the boilerplate for new React components. Let's solve that.

First, let's create a template at .geny/react/component/templates/component.erb:

import React from "react";

export const <%= name %> = props => {
  return <h1><%= name ></h1>
}

Next, we'll define our generator at .geny/react/component/generator.rb:

parse do
  description "generate a React component"
  usage "geny react:component [NAME]"
  argument :name, required: true, desc: "component name"
end

invoke do
  templates.copy "component.erb", "src/components/#{name}.js"
end

Awesome. Run it:

$ geny react:component Logo
        create  src/components/Logo.js

Obviously, this is a simple example. But Geny comes with a lot of tools to help you build really great code generators with minimal effort.
