Code generation

Do you often forget how to write boilerplate code? Why not just let HTMV do it for you? As you know, HTMV comes with the CLI tool you used when creating the project. But it also has the command htmv gen which allows you to generate a basic template for a view or route.

The syntax is as follows:

bunx htmv@latest gen {TYPE} {NAME} {OPTIONS}

For example, to create a view called MyCoolView:

bunx htmv@latest gen view MyCoolView

Running this will generate a view in the views directory of your project. The other remaining type is route which works the same way but creates the route in your routes directory.

However, note that if you have changed the name of your folders HTMV will be unable to find them and you'll have to manually specify the folder you wish for the generated file to be placed in as follows:

bunx htmv@latest gen view MyCoolView --path cool_stuff/my_custom_views_folder
