QEDA is a Node.js library aimed to simplify creating libraries of electronic components for using in EDA software. You can easily create both symbols for schematic and land patterns for PCB.
•Downloading component definitions from global repository
•Generating schematic symbols:
•Single and multi part IC (dual-in-line, quad)
•Connector
•Capacitor, crystal, diode, FET, fuse, inductor, LED, pushbutton, resistor, switch, test point, transistor, TVS
•Power supply, ground
QEDA module for using in scripts as well as command line interface:
First example will download component descriptions from library repository then save them to disk and add to library manager. Last string is to generate component library in KiCad format (schematic symbols for Eeschema as well as PCB footprints for PcbNew).
Run in terminal (note that component names are case insensitive but power and ground nets are not):
And find generated files in ./kicad directory.
Example is written on CoffeeScript but one can use vanilla JavaScript.
script.coffee:
Run it:
And find generated files in ./kicad directory.
Any electronic component is described using YAML-file located in ./library directory (or some subdirectory within). You can clone all available descriptions from https://github.com/qeda/library, add your ones, copy from any source. Then just point correspondent path as parameter for qeda add ... command or Qeda.Library.add method (without ./library/ prefix and .yaml suffix).
library/dummy.yaml:
Read more about component description.
Then run in terminal:
Or create custom.coffee:
And run:

What is QEDA. QEDA is a tool aimed to make electronic devices development easy and fun. Structure. QEDA consists of: QEDA CLI — a command-line utility which provides a simple but highly customizable mechanism for creating electronic component libraries for use in EDA software. This is the engine of QEDA.

Getting started. Let us explore QEDA capabilities by creating a simple PCB. This will be an abstract Wi-Fi adapter which uses ESP-07 module. We will use Ubuntu during demonstration but one may repeat following steps on any compatible operating system (with minor modifications).
QEDA Core. The core of QEDA project is an utility which converts component definitions into the EDA library. It is written on CoffeeScript using Node.js and completely free and open source.
QEDA Command Line Interface (CLI) is a tool to simplify creating electronic component libraries for using in EDA software. You can easily create both symbols for schematic and land patterns for PCB. In this chapter, we’ll discuss: Installing QEDA CLI; Quick starting with a basic usage scenario; Available commands; Configuration parameters
