2  target: document.querySelector('#app')
3})`;
4
5const indexOfPropertyName = 13; // Usually determined by analyzing an AST.

formatFiles

formatFiles(host: Tree): Promise<void>

Formats all the created or updated files using Prettier

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
hostTreethe file system tree

Returns: Promise<void>


generateFiles

generateFiles(host: Tree, srcFolder: string, target: string, substitutions: { [k: string]: any; }): void

Generates a folder of files based on provided templates.

While doing so it performs two substitutions:

  • Substitutes segments of file names surrounded by __
  • Uses ejs to substitute values in templates

Examples:

1generateFiles(host, path.join(__dirname, 'files'), './tools/scripts', {
2  tmpl: '',
3  name: 'myscript',
4});

This command will take all the files from the files directory next to the place where the command is invoked from. It will replace all __tmpl__ with '' and all __name__ with 'myscript' in the file names, and will replace all <%= name %> with myscript in the files themselves. tmpl: '' is a common pattern. With it you can name files like this: index.ts__tmpl__, so your editor doesn't get confused about incorrect TypeScript files.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
hostTreethe file system tree
srcFolderstringthe source folder of files (absolute path)
targetstringthe target folder (relative to the host root)
substitutionsobjectan object of key-value pairs

Returns: void

runExecutor

runExecutor<T>(targetDescription: { configuration?: string ; project: string ; target: string }, options: { [k: string]: any; }, context: ExecutorContext): Promise<AsyncIterableIterator<T>>

Loads and invokes executor.

This is analogous to invoking executor from the terminal, with the exception that the params aren't parsed from the string, but instead provided parsed already.

Apart from that, it works the same way:

  • it will load the workspace configuration
  • it will resolve the target
  • it will load the executor and the schema
  • it will load the options for the appropriate configuration
  • it will run the validations and will set the default
  • and, of course, it will invoke the executor

Example:

1for await (const s of await runExecutor(
2  { project: 'myproj', target: 'serve' },
3  { watch: true },
4  context
5)) {
6  // s.success
7}

Note that the return value is a promise of an iterator, so you need to await before iterating over it.

NameType
Tobject
T.successboolean
