Create file with same name as directory without typing the filename possibly with brace expansion or-CodePudding

Let's say I have a directory called Navigation and inside that I want to make a file called Navigation.jsx.

Instead of doing touch Navigation/Navigation.jsx I'm trying to figure out if there is a trick to not have to type Navigation twice, such as brace expansion.

I tried stuff like touch Navigation/{,.jsx} and touch Navigation/{/,.jsx} but rather than removing the slash it only produces a file called .jsx.

When doing this many times for multiple components it gets really monotonous and I'd love a streamlined way of doing it. Hey, maybe I'm thinking about this all wrong and there's a different flow I should use to create folders and files.

Here's what I did. Questions and comments welcome.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then
    for arg in "$@"; do

        rfc="const $arg = () => {
    return (
        <div>
            $arg 
        </div>
    )
}

export default $arg 
"

        mkdir "$arg"/
        touch "$arg"/"$arg".jsx
        echo "$rfc" >>"$arg"/"$arg".jsx
        echo "Component $arg created at $arg/$arg.jsx"
    done

else
    echo "Enter component names as arguments"

fi

If you put the directory names in a file, you could use a read while loop.

#!/bin/sh -x

find . -type d | sed '1d' | sed s'@^..@@g' > stack
while read n
do
mkdir "${n}"
touch "${n}"/"${n}"
done < stack
