[Feature request] service name in "feathers-plus generate service" command

[iva2k]

Steps to reproduce

Would be nice to have a quicker way to re-generate:

$ feathers-plus generate service users -y

Expected behavior

Regenerates service "users" (or whatever the given name is) without prompts & keeping defaults. If service does not exist yet, should generate the service with all defaults.

Actual behavior

What happens instead:

$ feathers-plus generate service users -y
error: unknown option `-y'

Without '-y':

$ feathers-plus generate service users
  What is the name of the service?

1. You can regenerate the entire app with generate all. The "prompts" in feathers-gen-specs.json are used.

2. Nothing prevents you, at your own risk, from manually modifying the feathers-gen-specs.json file. You could for example add multiple services that way, and then run generate all.

The generator does not delete files on regeneration which are no longer require'd because of a change in prompts. That is one reason I'd rather not create multiple services with default prompt values.

Feel free to comment and ro reopen this issue if this is not satisfactory.

p.s. You app can read feathers-gen-specs.json to find out about itself.

@eddyystop Thanks! I will explore that path, sounds promising. Makes sense to use generate all, especially that typings.d.ts is updated in generate all, so need to run it after almost always.

Thinking out loud - it is almost like there should be another command, maybe generate options --add-sevice <name> that will only edit the feathers-gen-specs.json file...

typings.d.ts is now regenerated whenever it needs to be. There is no need to run a spurious generate all anymore.

I'd rather people use their IDE to edit feathers-gen-specs.json. There is less chance of syntax errors.
