Spell | A Boiler Plate Code Generator
Spell is a software tool written in Dart to generate boilerplate code for projects using Express.js, Node.js, React, and Flutter stack. By writing a very basic project detail on a YAML file, it can generate data structures and network calls and even serialize/deserialize the response of each network call.
ADVANTAGES
• Spell can be installed on any machine that has Dart runtime on it.
• It can generate boilerplate code on top of an existing project.
• It's aware of pre-existing code and adapts to it to generate extra boilerplate code on top of it without removing custom logic.
• It's designed in a modular approach, so adding new languages and frameworks is easy.
