Bases: BaseCommand

Management Command Usage¤

To use the command, run the following command in your terminal:

python manage.py startcomponent <name> --path <path> --js <js_filename> --css <css_filename> --template <template_filename> --force --verbose --dry-run

Replace <name>, <path>, <js_filename>, <css_filename>, and <template_filename> with your desired values.

Management Command Examples¤

Here are some examples of how you can use the command:

Creating a Component with Default Settings¤

To create a component with the default settings, you only need to provide the name of the component:

python manage.py startcomponent my_component

This will create a new component named my_component in the components directory of your Django project. The JavaScript, CSS, and template files will be named script.js, style.css, and template.html, respectively.

Creating a Component with Custom Settings¤

You can also create a component with custom settings by providing additional arguments:

python manage.py startcomponent new_component --path my_components --js my_script.js --css my_style.css --template my_template.html

This will create a new component named new_component in the my_components directory. The JavaScript, CSS, and template files will be named my_script.js, my_style.css, and my_template.html, respectively.

Overwriting an Existing Component¤

If you want to overwrite an existing component, you can use the --force option:

python manage.py startcomponent my_component --force

This will overwrite the existing my_component if it exists.

Simulating Component Creation¤

If you want to simulate the creation of a component without actually creating any files, you can use the --dry-run option:

python manage.py startcomponent my_component --dry-run

This will simulate the creation of my_component without creating any files.
