CLTemplate

github crates.io

Small commandline tool to create and use templates quickly

Installation

Simply run cargo install cltemplate to install the tool.

Using Templates

To use a template, do the following:

  1. CD into the folder of the template (your terminal should be running at path/to/template)
  2. Run template path/to/output and check the directory you provided

Optionally, you can use the --template-path param (-t for short) instead of CDing to the the template folder

Writing Templates

To write a template that others can use with this tool, you must:

  1. Create a folder for the template

  2. In the root directory of the folder, create a template.txt file. In this file, there should be the name of each replaceable item, separated by newlines (ex:

    foo
    bar
    buz
    qux
    quux
    corge
    grault
    garply
    waldo
    fred
    plugh
    xyzzy
    thud
    

    )

  3. Fill in the rest of the folder with the files provided in the template. Anything defined in template.txt that has {% %} around it (ex: {% foo %}) will be replaced by whatever the user inputs. Anything surrounded by {% %} that is not included in template.txt will remain unchanged.

  4. Share your template and usage instructions via your preferred method.
