Removing services with the CLI

[jmarlow4]

I was wondering if this feature was already implemented. I can't find anything online about it. If so, what's the command? If there is no command, what would be the safest way to remove a service?

There is not a lot of magic to how services are registered. To remove a generated service you can delete the src/services/<servicename> and test/services/<servicename> folders and then update src/services/index.js taking out the require and app.configure statement for that service.

it will be nice to have a CLI way of doing it.

@emeagenciadigital the core team will not be working on this feature, but we are open to tested PRs. ;)

CMIIW, I think we also have to delete /src/model/.model.js

due to lazyness ...
for now , I just do this with a script (pass the name of the service as the argument)

#!/bin/bash
cat src/services/index.js | grep -v "$1" > src/services/index.js
rm -rf src/services/$1
rm src/models/$1.model.js
rm test/services/$1.test.js

I put the above 4 lines in a bash script and run ./removeService service-I-spelt-wrong [enter]
this just works based on the elegant way in which services are generated in the 1st place. they become so easy to remove
