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.

Examples:
  touch-win src/bin/cli.js src/helpers/file.js src/helpers/directory.js            Standard use
  touch-win --base src/components/new_component Component.js Component.css         Use with option "base"

  touch-win --template config/webpack.[rn].js build dev common                     Use with option "template"

As you have seen, Touch Win has some options that will help you create a new file:

👨‍💻 With Base Option:

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

👨‍💻 With Template Option:

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
