Vue.js component generator for design systems. Scaffolds complete component structures with Vue 2/3 templates, styles, and tests.

• 🚀 Fast Component Generation: Instant Vue component scaffolding with complete structure
• 🎯 Vue 2/3 Support: Auto-detects version from package.json or force specific syntax
• 📁 Complete Structure: Creates component, index, style, and test files with proper organization
• 📚 Automatic Documentation: Generates VuePress documentation with examples and API reference
• ⚡ Dual Interface: CLI commands and programmatic JavaScript API for automation
• 🛡️ Safe Operations: Dry-run preview, force overwrite, and existence checking
• 🔧 Highly Customizable: Custom directories, naming conventions, file extensions, and templates
• 🔍 Clean Output: Professional CLI interface with hierarchical progress indicators

Current Scope: Vue component generation with complete structure. Future versions will support services, stores, pages, and more scaffold types.

The automatic VuePress documentation generation has specific requirements:

• 📋 Vue Version: Only supports Vue 2 projects
• 📚 VuePress: Designed for VuePress v1 compatibility
• 🚫 Vue 3 Limitation: Documentation generation is automatically disabled for Vue 3 projects

Note: When Vue 3 is detected (auto-detected or forced with --vue3), documentation generation will be skipped with a warning. Use --no-docs to explicitly disable documentation generation.

# npm
npm install -g shuri-cli

# yarn
yarn global add shuri-cli

# npm
npm install --save-dev shuri-cli

# yarn  
yarn add --dev shuri-cli

# Create a basic Vue component
shuri-cli new MyButton

# Create component with SCSS styles (style included by default)
shuri-cli new MyButton --style-ext scss

# Create component with all options
shuri-cli new MyButton --style-ext scss --out ./src/ui --verbose

Creates a complete component structure with all necessary files:

src/components/MyButton/
├── index.js              # Export file for easy imports
├── MyButton.vue          # Vue component file
├── MyButton.scss         # Stylesheet (css/scss/sass/less/styl)
└── MyButton.unit.js      # Unit test file (.unit.js/.spec.js)

shuri-cli new <name> [options]

Note: Currently only supports component generation. Future versions may include other scaffold types.

Shuri CLI is flexible with component naming and automatically converts between formats:

Use --kebab flag to output kebab-case files: user-button/user-button.vue

• Vue Version: Auto-detects from package.json dependencies
• Project Structure: Adapts to your existing folder structure
• Smart Defaults: Uses sensible defaults based on your project

# All these create the same component structure
shuri-cli new UserCard        # PascalCase
shuri-cli new userCard        # camelCase  
shuri-cli new user-card       # kebab-case
shuri-cli new user_button     # snake_case
shuri-cli new "user card"     # space separated

shuri-cli new UserCard

➡️ Creates:

src/components/UserCard/

├── index.js
├── UserCard.vue
├── UserCard.scss
└── UserCard.unit.js

shuri-cli new SuperDuperClockComponent --root clock

➡️ Creates:

├── index.js
├── SuperDuperClockComponent.vue
├── UsSuperDuperClockComponenterCard.styl
└── SuperDuperClockComponent.unit.js

# Supports multiple preprocessors

shuri-cli new UserCard --style-ext styl

➡️ Creates:

├── index.js
├── UserCard.vue
├── UserCard.styl
└── UserCard.unit.js

# Relative paths
shuri-cli new UserCard --out components/ui
shuri-cli new UserCard --out src/shared/components

# Absolute paths  
shuri-cli new UserCard --out /path/to/components

# Nested structures
shuri-cli new UserCard --out src/features/user/components

shuri-cli new UserCard --kebab --no-style

➡️ Creates:

src/components/user-card/
├── index.js
├── user-card.vue
└── user-card.unit.js

# Force Vue 2 syntax (Options API)
shuri-cli new UserCard --vue2 --style-ext scss

# Force Vue 3 syntax (Composition API)  
shuri-cli new UserCard --vue3 --style-ext scss

Shuri CLI automatically generates VuePress documentation for every component:

⚠️ Vue 2 Only: Documentation generation is only available for Vue 2 projects and VuePress v1. Vue 3 projects will automatically skip documentation generation.

# Generate component with full documentation (Vue 2 projects only)
shuri-cli new UserCard --verbose

➡️ Creates Documentation:

docs/

# Create component without documentation
shuri-cli new UserCard --no-docs

# Vue 3 components (documentation automatically disabled)
shuri-cli new UserCard --vue3 --verbose
# Output: ⚠️ Aviso: Geração de documentação não suportada para Vue 3

# Vue 3 with explicit no-docs (cleaner output)
shuri-cli new UserCard --vue3 --no-docs --verbose

# Create backups of modified config files
shuri-cli new UserCard --backup --verbose

# Use custom root name for documentation paths
shuri-cli new "Super Complex Button" --root simple-button --verbose

➡️ Creates:

docs/
├── components/simple-button.md     # 📖 Uses --root name
├── examples/simple-button/         # 🎯 Organized structure
└── components-api/simple-button-api.js  # 📋 Clean API paths

# Preview without creating files
shuri-cli new "Navigation Menu" --style-ext scss --dry-run --verbose

# Component without test file
shuri-cli new UserCard --style-ext scss --no-test

# Component without style file
shuri-cli new UserCard --no-style

# Component without documentation
shuri-cli new UserCard --no-docs

# Component with backup of modified config files
shuri-cli new UserCard --backup --verbose

# Complex example with all options
shuri-cli new "Shopping Cart Item" \
  --root cart-item \

# Documentation-focused component creation
shuri-cli new "Complex Data Table" \

const shuri = require('shuri-cli');

// Create component programmatically
const result = await shuri.run(['new', 'MyButton'], {
  out: './src/components',
  styleExt: 'scss',
  testExt: '.spec.js',
  force: true
});

console.log(result);
// { created: true, path: './src/components/MyButton' }

await shuri.run(['new', 'ComponentName'], {
  root: 'ComponentName',      // Root folder name
  out: './custom/path',       // Output directory
  styleExt: 'scss',           // Style extension (default: 'scss')
  testExt: '.spec.js',        // Test extension (default: '.unit.js')
  noStyle: false,             // Skip style file
  noTest: false,              // Skip test file
  noDocs: false,              // Skip documentation generation
  backup: false,              // Create backups of modified files
  force: true,                // Overwrite existing
  dryRun: false,              // Preview mode
  kebab: false,               // Use kebab-case
  vue2: false,                // Use Vue 2 template
  vue3: true,                 // Use Vue 3 template
  verbose: false              // Detailed output
});

Notes: the template generation is based on the Vue version of the project.

<template>
  <div class="component-name">
    <!-- Component content goes here -->
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
defineOptions({
  name: "ComponentName"
})
 props: defineProps({})
</script>

<style scoped>
/* styles */
</style>

<template>
  <div class="component-name">
    <!-- Component content goes here -->
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  name: 'ComponentName',
  props: {}
};
</script>

<style scoped>
/* styles */
</style>

Shuri CLI integrates seamlessly with VuePress to generate comprehensive documentation:

⚠️ Important: Documentation generation is only available for Vue 2 projects and requires VuePress v1. Vue 3 projects will automatically skip documentation generation with a warning message.

• Component Docs: Markdown files with usage examples and props documentation
• Live Examples: Interactive Vue components showcasing usage
• API Reference: JavaScript files with component API documentation
• Auto-Updated Config: VuePress sidebar automatically includes new components

• Automatic Sidebar: New components are added to VuePress navigation
• Alphabetical Ordering: Components are sorted alphabetically in README
• Path Management: Uses correct /components/name format for VuePress
• Backup System: Optional backups of configuration files
