Generate lb4 application in local-directory or specific directory using --directory flag #3654

Closed DanielChuDC closed 4 years ago

DanielChuDC commented 5 years ago

Hi , may I ask does lb4 support --directory flag to generate the source code under a specific directory and not to create a new directory.

@DanielChuDC What's your use case?

Please note that lb4 app allows --outdir option to supply the directory name to be created.

DanielChuDC commented 5 years ago

Hi, my use case like Angular project able to generate the source code into the local directory using . or ./ For example: ng new --directory . It is convenient for create a project under a github folder.

By using --outdir, does not generate in the local directory where it will return a error saying that the . or ./ already exists.

lb4 app
? Project name: git-hub
? Project description: GitHub
? Project root directory: ./
>> Directory ./ already exists.

Do you want to allow the outdir to exist even it's not empty?

DanielChuDC commented 5 years ago

Hi, technically the folder can be empty or not empty. Not empty as in the folder may including those file like .git; it is empty also because is hidden files.

If there are able to generate the new app lb4 by using ./ or . for those git initialized folder, that will be great.
