Code generator using Javascript scripts and mustache templates

# Gourmet

Create tasteful scripted templates for your repetiteve work. After that just do ./gourmet tasteful-script.js and enjoy!
Use it to generate *entities*, *rest routes*, *sql* files, and anything else where a kickstart will be welcome.


## Simple

Use js to explain what you want to do with a template. First example:

```
var tmpl = 'Hello {{name}}';
var value = { name: 'Daniel' };
var txt = tt.mustache(tmpl, value)
tt.save('file-name.txt', txt)
```

## Usage

1. Install gourmet-generator globally ```npm install -g gourmet-generator```

2. Create a gourmet template script (like the one above) and save somewhere like ```/folder/templates/ex.js```

3. Inside a cmd use: ```gourmet /folder/templates/ex.js param1 param2 param3``` 

## API

The tt is a global variable to execute frequently required stuff like:

1. Save a file:
`tt.save(file, text);`
where file is a path related to the folder where you currently are
and text is the text that you want to save in utf8

2. Read:
Sometimes its better to write the mustache files on its own file.
`tt.read(file)`
where file is a path related to the folder where you currently are

3. Render mustache:
Will transform a mustache template and an object with values into a string
`tt.mustache(template, values)`
