Add support for a runAction in the plop API

[crutchcorn]

Currently, if I'm inside of a plop action and want to run a add or addMany, my option is really reduced to making a new generator and running the generator's generator.runActions.

It would be really nice if instead of this:

const {default: generatorDefault} = require('node-plop/lib/generator-runner');

plop.setActionType('setupAzureNPM', async (answers, config, plop) => {
  const {runGeneratorActions} = generatorDefault(plop)
  await runGeneratorActions({
    name: 'Azure NPM Setup',
      actions: [
        {
          type: 'add',
          // ...
        }
      ]
  })
});

We could have something like this:

plop.setActionType('setupAzureNPM', async (answers, config, plop) => {
  await plop.runAction({
    type: 'add',
    // ...
   })
});

To run a single action from the plop API

yeah, I would just look at PR plopjs/node-plop#58. It was put up a long time ago and I always meant to merge it, but I wanted to see if I could get the full plop API injected into the function. Anyway, it might be worth just merging it as is.

I think I agree with you, though. I'd rather inject the API into plopAPI itself. I have a branch where I'm working on just that. I'll see if I can clean it up this week

Transfering this issue to https://github.com/plopjs/plop/ since we're migrating all of node-plop to that repo as a monorepo
