Potential new features

[innocenzi]

Sounds great!
Thanks for this project and your quick feedback.

I think that I will create some others PR in the coming weeks.

I detected some missing features for my use case:

• Allowing to use from, to options (like extract) in edit to allow taking a file from the template and copying it to the target directory with some edits in one action.
• Allowing to rename files in target directory
• Allowing to rename files while doing an extract
• Allowing to remove files from target directory
• Allowing to exec npm run in target directory

For now, I workaround these features by building a helper module that export some utility functions to use with Preset.hook.

Let met know if you think that one of the above features is very interseting or not interesting for you?

Allowing to use from, to options (like extract) in edit to allow taking a file from the template and copying it to the target directory with some edits in one action.

What would that look like? Is the idea to improve the DX (eg. not having to use group)?

Allowing to rename files in target directory

Sure that sounds like a useful one. I'd rather have a move action though, that would be more flexible and respond to the same need.

Allowing to rename files while doing an extract

Interesting as well, kind of related to #69 if this is for a single file?

Allowing to remove files from target directory

There is the delete action already, right?

Allowing to exec npm run in target directory

Wouldn't execute solve this for you? Or do you need to handle multiple package managers? Maybe https://github.com/antfu/ni would be useful to you in this regard.
