Generating a Vue compoment

$ vg component <name>

If an ./src/components or ./components directory exists, the component will be created there.
If not, it will be created in the directory where the command is executed.

Component flags

Flag name	Description
-d	Adds a data property
-m	Adds a methods property
-x	Adds an Axios import
-s	Sets style-lang attribute to SCSS
-a	Adds all of the options above
-t	Sets up a unit test for the component, in <name>.spec.js

Example

$ vg component Button -d -m

Generates a file called Button.vue which contains a vue component with data- and methods properties.

Generating a Vuex store

$ vg store

If an ./src/store or ./store already exists the vg CLI will prompt you to override this folder. The store is created with a default module, myModule. To overwrite this default name, use the -m flag and type in the module name you want:

Example

$ vg store -m SessionModule
Vuex store was created - Don't forget to import it on your Vue instance
SessionModule was created in Vuex-store

Generating Vuex modules

$ vg vuexmod <modulename>

If an ./src/store or ./store directory exists, the module will be created there.
If not, it will be created in the directory where the command is executed.

Example

$ vg vuexmod SessionModule  
SessionModule was created in Vuex-store

Generating unit tests

$ vg test <name>

Creates a yourTestName.spec.js file, with some scaffolding for a Vue test utils/jest unit test suite. If a ./tests/unit or ./tests folder exist, the test will be created there. Else it will be created in current directory.
