Hi,

Maybe this is already possible and I’m missing it, but it would be nice if there was a CLI command to create a default file structure for modules.

@JC6

You should be able to use the following to create a new module using CLI:

`hs create module <name> [dest]`

I KNEW I was missing it. I just re looked at the docs based on your answer I can use that syntax to do alot of other things too! Ha thanks, for replying to my lack of attation to documentation.

One little random thing to note I did have to use the following for it to work in powershell

`npx hs create module <name> [dest]`

, but switched to regular command prompt and you don’t need to npx.

Thanks!

npx hs create module **modulename**  **path**

Example: I want to create Two Column Feature Module inside the folder:

**npx hs create module Two-Column-Feature test-theme/src/modules**
