Touch Win is a cli program that helps you create various files with a single command, it is inspired by the "touch" command found natively in Linux and Unix based operating systems. Even though there are several programs/packages in npmjs that help you get this command on Windows, I assure you that there is no one like it.
๐ง Don't forget to give a โญ if you like this project!
- It allows you to generate multiple files with a single command.
- Create folders automatically if they don't exist.
- Allows you to generate files from a base path.
- Allows you to generate files from a template.
Install touch-win with your package manager:
npm install -g touch-win
touch-win --help

As you have seen, Touch Win has some options that will help you create a new file:
Forget to write the same path for the files you want to create with this option you can do it.
touch-win --base src/helpers/ alerts.js directory.js file.js
It has a similarity with the "Base" option, the difference arises when you only need small changes in the names or paths of the files.
touch-win --template config/webpack.[rn].js common dev build
Note: It's important to put [rn]
where you want it to be replaced by the arguments.
More examples with "template"
Change extensions:
touch-win -t src/components/my_component.[rn] js css
Rename the file:
touch-win -t src/helpers/[rn].js alerts directory file
