works with https://github.com/jwietelmann/express3_boilerplate to build out routes based on a baseModel

makeRoutes.py

import os, sys
models = ['foo', 'bar', 'fooBar']
baseModel = 'baseModel'
os.chdir('routes/ui')
extension = ".js"
for model in models:
  f = open("%ss%s" % (baseModel, extension ))
  newLines = []
  for line in f.readlines():
    line = line.replace("%s" % baseModel, "%s" % model)
    line = line.replace("%s" % baseModel.title(), "%s" % model.title())
    newLines.append(line.replace("%s" % baseModel,"%s" % model))
  f.close()
  f = open("%ss%s" % (model, extension), 'w')
  for line in newLines:
    f.write(line)
  f.flush()
  f.close()

os.chdir('../api')
for model in models:
  f = open("%ss%s" % (baseModel, extension) )
  newLines = []
  for line in f.readlines():
    line = line.replace("%s" % baseModel, "%s" % model)
    line = line.replace("%s" % baseModel.title(), "%s" % model.title())
    newLines.append(line.replace("%s" % baseModel,"%s" % model))
  f.close()
  f = open("%ss%s" % (model, extension), 'w')
  for line in newLines:
    f.write(line)
  f.flush()
  f.close()
