f-fileName Addon

The f-<name> addon in Servest is used to quickly scaffold feature-specific files and folders in your project. This helps maintain consistency across projects and speeds up development.

How It Works

When you run:

Loading code snippet…

Servest will:

1. Detect your base directory using this priority:

   • src/app → if it exists
   • src → if no app folder
   • project root → if no src folder

2. Detect whether your project uses JavaScript or TypeScript, and accordingly names the generated files with .js or .ts.

3. Scaffold files based on the architecture set in your servest.config.json.

Architecture-Specific Behavior

MVC Architecture

• Files are created inside controllers, models, routes, etc.
• Example (f-auth):

Modular Architecture

• A dedicated folder is created under modules/<feature>.
• Example (f-auth):

Basic Architecture

• A single file is created at the base directory.
• Example (f-auth):

Notes

• File extensions depend on your chosen language (.ts or .js).
• If files already exist, Servest skips them and shows a message.
• Servest ensures that the project structure aligns with your configuration.

Why Use f-fileName?

• Consistency → keeps all features structured the same way.
• Flexibility → works across MVC, modular, and basic architectures.
• Smart defaults → auto-detects the right folder (src/app, src, or root).
