What is Plop?

Plop is a little tool that saves you time and helps your team build new files with consistency. Plop generates code when you want, how you want, and can be changed whenever you want.

  • Simple to learn: Creating good boilerplate shouldn't require a masters degree. Read over the one page getting started guide and you'll be well on your way.
  • Easy to use: Once plop is setup, anyone on the team can simply type Plop into the terminal. The right way to create your code, is now the easiest way.
  • Flexible: Allow your boilerplate to grow and change with the codebase it is generating. Adding new generators can be as simple as writing a template.
  • Always in sync: Keep everyone up to date as they build. When your generators live in your codebase, everyone gets the latest version by simply pulling from the repo.
  • Familiar: Plop uses the popular handlebars template engine to generate your files. Many developers are already familiar with the handlebars syntax.
  • Powerful: Plop can generate any type of code! Use plop to generate HTML, CSS, JavaScript, CSharp, Objective C, Selenium tests, microservices... anything!
