Name feedback and a few suggestions

[NathanielHill]

I don't think the name is that bad, but I would recommend dropping the -cli suffix.

I've had something like this in mind ever since I ran across arkit

I think this is a great idea and could greatly simplify things for teams in the same ways prettier has.

I'm imagining adding this into my workflow as a pre-commit stage using husky + lint-staged.

Would be nice to have a flag that causes a failure on unused files, so cruft doesn't accumulate.

I think people will have strong preferences which could be solved with a couple config options, but I imagine having a consistent and enforced structure is almost universally preferable.

I think this is a great idea and i'll try to contribute.
I'm also think that maybe this will be great whit some config options
regarding names i try to think in alternatives but i only come up with this two options:
Structurify
Entropy

Another suggestion:

Be able to specify starting point and some logic to handle monorepos.

For example, a lot of projects using yarn workspaces will have structures like @scope/ui @scope/web @scope/ui etc

[NathanielHill]

Would be nice to have some logic on how shared dependencies are handled. For instance, whether they should always be moved to the @scope/shared workspace, or only moved to the shared workspace if they're used across multiple workspaces and have local shared otherwise.

[NathanielHill]

I can also imagine certain frameworks have some idiosyncrasies that won't follow the structure, so ability to ignore those.

And, if running in the root, being able to ignore certain .js configuration files

how about "Filer"? Has a similar ring to it as "Prettier"

[AnatoleLucet]

@capaj I like this name. But unfortunately it's already taken from another package :(

[capaj]

@AnatoleLucet we could create a scope on npm @filer and put the cli as @filer/cli.
Also if the project picks up and we have other language than TS/JS plugins, they can be published under that scope-like for example @files/sass or @filer/less

BTW that scope is still free: https://www.npmjs.com/~filer

[AnatoleLucet]

Why not. With a bin named filer this is doable.

We've now changed name to destiny and have multiple issues with features for the future. 🎉

I'm closing this issue.
