# label-generator
A command line utility to generate n^k labels based on label components.
## Getting Started
For this example, we'll assume we are a screw company that needs labels for each type and length of screw.
For instance:
- Phillips 2"
- Phillips 3"
- Phillips 4"
- Flat-head 2"
- Flat-head 3"
- Flat-head 4"
Create a new folder
```bash
mkdir labels
cd labels
```
Create a `manifest.toml` file
```toml
root = "root.svg"
sku = "SC-{head}-{length}"
```
Create a `root.svg` file
```svg
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
width="2048px" height="2048px" viewBox="0 0 2048 2048" style="enable-background:new 0 0 2048 2048;" xml:space="preserve">
</svg>
```
Create a new folder for our expanding components
```bash
mkdir head
mkdir length
```
Add files to these folders to be injected into `root.svg`.
```
.
├── head/
│ ├── P-phillips.svg
│ └── F-flat_head.svg
├── length/
│ ├── 2-inch.svg
│ ├── 3-inch.svg
│ └── 4-inch.svg
├── branding.svg
├── manifest.toml
└── root.svg
```
Now we run the label generator
```
$ label-generator
SVG Label Generator
🔧 Config:
>> Root: root.svg
>> SKU: SC-{head}-{length}
📦 Components:
>> branding 📝
>> head 📂
>> length 📂
💾 Generated Files:
>> SC-P-2
>> SC-P-3
>> SC-P-4
>> SC-F-2
>> SC-F-3
>> SC-F-4
✅ Done
```
This will create an `out` directory with our new label files
```
.
└── out/
├── SC-P-2
├── SC-P-3
├── SC-P-4
├── SC-F-2
├── SC-F-3
└── SC-F-4
```
If we look at the `SC-P-2` file, we should see that our components are injected into the SVG.
Eg:
```svg
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
width="2048px" height="2048px" viewBox="0 0 2048 2048" style="enable-background:new 0 0 2048 2048;" xml:space="preserve">
<g>
<text>Screw Company</text>
</g>
<g>
<text>Phillips</text>
</g>
<g>
<text>2"</text>
</g>
</svg>
```
