🚀 Common Usage Patterns

📱 Complete Feature Generation

# Generate a complete user management feature
gexd make screen UserProfile --type withState --has-model
gexd make model User --file assets/user.json --relationships-in-folder
gexd make repository User --type crud --interface
gexd make service User --on auth/services
gexd make binding User --location screen --on-screen user_profile

🏗️ Clean Architecture Setup

# Domain layer
gexd make entity User --on domain/entities
gexd make interface User --on domain/repositories

# Data layer  
gexd make model User --file user.json --on data/models
gexd make repository User --on data/repositories
gexd make provider User --on data/providers

# Presentation layer
gexd make screen UserProfile --on presentation/pages
gexd make controller User --on presentation/controllers

📊 API Integration Workflow

# 1. Generate model from API
gexd make model Product --url https://api.store.com/products/1

# 2. Create data access layer
gexd make repository Product --type crud --interface
gexd make provider Api --on data/providers

# 3. Business logic layer
gexd make service Product --on services

# 4. UI layer
gexd make screen ProductList --type withState --model Product
gexd make widget ProductCard --location shared

⚙️ Global Options

Most make subcommands support these common options:

📁 Organization

  • --on <path> - Specify subdirectory for generated files

  • --force - Force overwrite existing files without prompting

🎨 Customization

  • --type <type> - Specify component type/style

  • --template <template> - Choose generation template

  • --style <style> - Select code generation style

🔧 Features

  • --interface - Generate with interface abstraction

  • --immutable - Create immutable data structures

  • --copyWith - Add copy methods for state updates

💡 Pro Tips

🎯 Best Practices

  1. Start with Architecture: Generate entities and interfaces first

  2. Use --on for Organization: Keep related files in subdirectories

  3. Enable Interfaces: Use --interface for better testability

  4. Force During Development: Use --force for rapid iteration

🚀 Efficiency Tips

  1. Batch Generation: Generate related components together

  2. Template Reuse: Save commonly used flag combinations

  3. API-First Development: Generate models from live APIs

  4. Relationship Management: Use --relationships-in-folder for complex models

🔧 Advanced Workflows

  1. Feature-Based: Group components by feature using --on

  2. Layer-Based: Organize by architectural layers

  3. Test-Driven: Generate interfaces first for better testing

  4. Iterative: Start simple, add features with --force
