Create questions within the same template

Create a simple nodejs app, install "template-artist" and finally create "template" folder with html file inside

mkdir test-template && cd ./test-template
npm init -y
npm install template-artist
touch index.js
mkdir ./template
echo "{{name}}" > ./template/index.html.hbs

/*
This script will generate a json file inside the root directory of the app with your questions called template-questions.json.
*/
import { TemplateArtistQuestions } from 'templates-artist';
(() => {
  TemplateArtistQuestions.generateQuestions({
    questions: [
      {
        type: 'input',
        message: 'Type your name',
        name: 'name',
        default: 'Jhon',
        validation: {
          opts: ['required'],
          messageError: 'your name is required',
        },
      },
    ],
    jsonFileName: 'template-questions'
  });
})();

Test your template and questions and answers

/*
This script will test your template, test your answers and questions match
*/
import { TemplateArtistQuestions, TemplateArtist } from 'templates-artist';
(() => {
  const questions = TemplateArtistQuestions.readQuestions(
    // path to questions file
  );
  const errors = TemplateArtist.test({
    answers,
    questions,
    templatePath: 'templateFolderPath'
  });

  if (errors.length == 0) {
    console.log('good!', errors);
  } else {
    console.error('something wnet wrong!', errors);
  }
})();
