Creating a new refactoring kinda always follow the same steps. There is a bunch of boilerplate code that needs to be created.
We could try to refactor this boilerplate into some good abstraction. But we still need to scaffold the same files over and over: the refactoring file, the test file, the command declaration file and eventually the action provider one.
To speed up this process, we've decided to use a code generator.
We went for hygen because it's quite simple to use, very fast and flexible.
We're abstracting the usage of hygen behind a npm script alias: yarn new will ask you few questions to scaffold a new refactoring.
You can use yarn new to create a new refactoring.
Follow the tool, it will ask you the relevant questions.
