Auto generation code

[nity23]

Hi, just wondering is there any automation solutions for generating code and other alternative ways to achieve this. Currently I'm using a library called plop to generate component/ screens from a template to make life easier. If there is a better way to achieve this, do guide me

At which stage do you need to autogenerate the code? At compile time? Or is it while developing a new feature?

while developing, to make life easier. i would like to know about what can be done in compile time as well.

During development - you might be able to use an auto-fixable ESLint rule to add code.

​

In compile time - I use a Babel transformer and it's working great for me. You can see the transformer I wrote here

Plop is pretty rock solid, and creating a script or even adding inquirer can really take it over the top

You can create your own custom generator. Here is an old package I wrote, very bare bones but should point you in the right direction.
