When I created this project in 2017, I was much more active in the Open Source community, and planned on developing this project into the go-to tool for generating new components. In 2023, however, I just don't have the time or enthusiasm to maintain this project as a typical open-source project.

This new version has a narrower scope. It's my personal tool, used to make my own dev life a little bit easier. If it helps other folks as well, that's wonderful!

I've added support for TypeScript with a new lang option. I've also made two breaking changes:

  • All components created are functional components. No more class / pure class components
  • The file extension can no longer be customized. It'll be .js for JavaScript components and .tsx for TypeScript components

I've also made a few more under-the-hood changes:

  • The parent directory will automatically be created, if it doesn't already exist.
  • Prettier config will be inferred more reliably.
  • A randomly-selected affirmation will be printed in the terminal output. ✨
  • An MIT license has been added

I know many folks have opened issues and PRs, and I'm sorry I haven't gotten to them! Please feel free to fork this project, to make whatever additions you'd like (eg. using .jsx instead of .js for the extension).

Thanks to @tommy-mitchell for suggesting + implementing a couple of these improvements, and offering to open a PR!
