// ✗ GENERATED - DO NOT EDIT (You will edit it anyway) class UserService async createUser(data) ... // generated async sendWelcomeEmail(data) ... // CUSTOM - where does this go?
In the modern development landscape, the phrase "don't repeat yourself" (DRY) is practically a mantra. Yet, every day, millions of developers write the same CRUD operations, the same API endpoints, and the same data validation logic. We solve this partially with copy-paste, partially with snippets, and partially with libraries. But there is a more powerful, often underutilized tool: the Easy Code Generator .
// ✓ user-service.ts (YOUR CODE - never overwritten) import UserServiceBase from './user-service.base'; easy code generator
Stop copying and pasting. Start generating.
export class entity.name % for field in entity.fields % field.name : field.type ; % endfor % constructor(data: Partial< entity.name >) Object.assign(this, data); // ✗ GENERATED - DO NOT EDIT (You
export class UserService extends UserServiceBase // Your custom logic here async sendWelcomeEmail(user: User) // custom implementation
Do not generate entire files. Generate that your application imports. In the modern development landscape, the phrase "don't
This pattern—generating a base class and inheriting from it—allows you to regenerate fearlessly forever. You don't need a complex infrastructure to start.
