Thaum 🔮

Thaum is a boilerplate and scaffolding command line utility. It purposely requires little to no configuration and does not require you to have anything more than a mustache template to make a boilerplate. (Read: No script.)

Features

• No configuration.
• Global templates and git included project templates.
• Compiles mustache in paths for files like .spec.js.

Install

If you have go, you can run:

$ go get github.com/flaque/thaum

or, you can run:

$ wget "https://github.com/Flaque/thaum/releases/download/v0.6.0-beta/thaum" -O "/usr/local/bin/thaum" && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/thaum

to install the binary into your path.

Usage

Your templates go in a folder called thaum_files. Thaum will look up the file tree for the nearest thaum_files folder and use that one for your command.

Creating a Template

Create your thaum_files in your root project.

$ mkdir thaum_files

Then create your first template! This is just a folder in your thaum_files.

$ mkdir thaum_files/myTemplate

Then, we can create a file or a whole folder system if you want inside.

$ touch thaum_files/myTemplate/myWidget.js

In that file, you can put something like this:

import {{package}};

export class {{name}} {
  constructor(foo, bar) {
    //do something
  }
}

Running Thaum

Once you have a template, you can run thaum like so:

$ thaum myTemplate

and thaum will ask you to fill in the details:

🔍  Using thaum_files at: "/Users/Flaque/thaum-test/thaum_files"

     package: foo
        name: bang

✍️  Created file: myWidget.js

You can also list all templates that exist by typing thaum.

$ thaum
Templates Available:
  component
  growler
  test

If you need help, you can type thaum -h to see the help screen.

$ thaum -h

Other helpful things.

If you would not like your templates to named .somethingOrAnother so that test runners or other tools don’t pick them up, you can use the extension .thaum at the end of your template and thaum will remove it for you when the file is created.

For example, if I have a template file with the name: foo_test.go.thaum

and I run thaum foo, thaum will create the file: foo_test.go
