File name generator

Introduction

This utility template finds an available directory name for creating a new project, starting from a given base name.

If the base name is unused, it will be used as-is. Otherwise, the template appends an incrementing number (e.g., my-app, my-app-1, my-app-2, etc.) until it finds a free directory.

The base name is taken from the variable defined in the reference option. Once a unique name is found, the variable is updated with the final result.

Usage

Add the action to import the template:

{  "name": "import",  "template": "croct://utils/filename-generator",  "options": {    "reference": "projectName"  }}

Ensure the reference variable is defined beforehand:

[  {    "name": "define",    "variables": {      "projectName": "my-app"    }  },  {    "name": "import",    "template": "croct://utils/filename-generator",    "options": {      "reference": "projectName"    }  },  {    "name": "print",    "message": "Directory name: ${this.projectName}"  }]
