Introducing mtoolkit

announce
1

A few months ago I worked on an angular project and I fell in love with their cli. Specifically the code generation part. Because most of the things are generated using cli it was easier to navigate through the project and onboard other developers.
So I’m wondering if we can create something similar for the meteor, I’ve reated a proof of concept mtoolkit - npm

Currently, it only generates a blaze template.

mtk t <template name>

What other files can be generated?

Currently, it is just a POC but if you folks have ideas on how to grow this into helpful utility I’m open to suggestions.

Thanks

Great work! looks promising :+1: @distalx
I think it’d help adoption if you emphasize view agnostic files like the methods and collections files.

Sadly, he split up the library into paid and free tiers. There’s absolutely no shame in getting compensated for your hard work, good for him. But it’s now closed source and you can’t read or improve it.

This seems amazing, the project looks very well thought out. Just one suggestion for free usage login could be made optional.

Thank you for the feedback. This is really good idea. I’ll see how can I accommodate method and collection file generation.

I’ve been creating templates using the following library generate-template-files - npm

I’m not sure if you’ve seen it.

@distalx, just set up maka-cli @ 3.3.27 to allow for login to be optional :slight_smile:
