plop VS springerle

Almost all of us, while working on a project, are copy/pasting from the previous one while creating similar structures. While thinking if there is a fast way to do this, I came across plop js.

In this article, I will talk about Plop, which is a little tool that saves you time and helps your team build new files with consistency, as the documentation suggests.

My tool of choice is Plop.js. Plop is a powerful "micro-generator framework" built to help maintain patterns as well as speed up your project build time. From the documenation:

When it comes to software development, a good developer experience (or DX) is a key aspect in helping the development process to become faster and more efficient. Having a good DX means that developers are focusing on the real deal while other, less important stuff, is being taken care of by automated tools. Such a tool is Plop which I really love for its simplicity and efficiency.

this allows you to import this Header component with import { Header } from 'path/Header' without Header/Header. Creating this structure manually is annoying, so one will benefit from some code generators like plop or hygen.

I have a project generator too. I’ll have to take a look and see if there are any ideas I want to copy. 👀

Cool. I wrote a similar cookiecutter clone in Go for more or less the same reason: Python dependency management stinks.

I'm also working on a templatized project starter. The code for that is mostly done, but I need to get around to writing some sample projects, so that other people can understand how it's supposed to work.
