Serverless Plop CLI

This article covers using the Plop framework to create a basic CLI which can auto generate our scaffolded serverless code using the clean code lightweight approach; with code examples written in TypeScript and the AWS CDK.

NOTE: This is a basic example of the CLI to show the templating approach with Plop - this is not production ready.

npm i

3. build the CLI and link this in dev mode like a global package
