Generate Commands

The MonsterJS CLI is a powerful tool that simplifies the process of creating components, services, and other necessary files for a MonsterJS application.

The syntax for the generate command in MonsterJS CLI is mn generate <type> <name>. Here, the <type> is the type of file to be generated, and <name> refers to the name of the file to be created. The name field can also accept a file path.

Here's an example command that generates a component in MonsterJS CLI:

mn generate component my-component

The command above will generate the files like the following.

hello-world
    ├── hello-world.component.tsx
    └── hello-world.component.scss
