Templates and other ideas (implemented in fork)

I had some requirements in a project recently that needed some finer control over the creation of the different components. I’ve got the working code in a fork https://github.com/Daveawb/create-react-component-folder.

I wondered if this would be of any use to you, it does add a dependency on handlebars to manage templates but abstracts a lot of logic away from the main index and creation scripts.

• Added a configuration namedexports to remove default exports and export named variables only.

• Added Typescript propTypes (removed {{name}}.propTypes) and added a TS type instead when typescript is in the configuration.

• Added Typescript types to functional components

• All options have default values that are passed in from cosmiconfig

• Run time configuration values are merged with the defaults to provide a consistent config array throughout the script.

• A minor configuration helper added to get items from a config store

• Templates are rendered using handlebars rather than JS. This could potentially allow for the templates to be published into a project allowing for finer control over how components etc. are rendered.

• Removed all the generation functions in favour of one createReactComponent function.

• Fixed ESLint and TSLint problems with current template layouts.

Let me know if this is of any use to you and I’ll clean it up and put in a PR.

Additional

• Refactored config to use a global store with a frozen API that is available as a require in any script that needs it without passing it around in arguments.
  • Config is an object with two keys, flags and values, these are not directly accessible.
  • Config exposes a simple API to check, get and merge values.
• Added --output <directory> | -o <directory> to options to allow configuring default output location
• Cleaned up templates and fixed a few bugs with prop types

This looks great. I will have a better look at it soon and let you know what I think, and then you could probably make a PR 👍
