Why Pinion

A fast and typesafe code generator

Pinion is a CLI toolkit that allows to create flexible, customizable and typesafe code generators in TypeScript. Creating and maintaining CLI tooling and generators can be a very time consuming task. Pinion helps with this by

  • Putting generator templates as close to your project as possible
  • TypeScript first to give you full flexibility over what your generators can do and how
  • Using JavaScript template strings instead of hard to debug templating syntaxes like EJS or Mustache
  • A functional programming approach that keeps your generators robust and easy to follow
