(Copied from README)

tscodegen is a minimal TypeScript port of Facebook's Hack Codegen. It provides a fluent API that allows you to build human-readable TypeScript source files from strings of code, with optional manually editable sections and tamper detection.

Sample:

Codegen script

new CodeFile("./file.ts")
  .build((builder) =>
    builder
      .addLine("import path from 'path';")
      .addLine("import fs from 'fs'")
      .addLine()
      .addManualSection("custom_imports", (builder) => builder)
      .addLine()
      .addBlock("class Steam extends Water", (builder) =>
        builder
          .addBlock("constructor()", (builder) =>
            builder.addLine("this.boil();")
          )
          .addLine()
          .addBlock("boil()", (b) =>
            b.addManualSection("boil_body", (builder) =>
              builder.add("this.temp = 100;")
            )
          )
      )
      .format()
  )
  .saveToFile();

Output

/**

import path from "path";

  constructor() {
    this.boil();
  }

  boil() {
