File Templates Plugin for Evoo CLI

The File Templates plugin for the Evoo CLI offers a powerful way to reuse content across your scaffolds. It extends the functionality of the existing file job, allowing you to define a set of templates in your evoo.json and then reference them, keeping your configurations clean and maintainable.

Features

• Content Templating: Define reusable content snippets and use them across multiple file jobs.
• Centralized Management: Manage all your templates in a single templates object within the sharedContext.
• Seamless Integration: The plugin automatically modifies file jobs without requiring a new job type.

Usage

To use the File Templates plugin, you need to define your templates in the sharedContext and then reference them in your file jobs.

See the Job's common properties.

1. Define Templates in sharedContext

In your evoo.json, add a templates object to the sharedContext. Each key in this object is a template name, and its value is the content you want to reuse.

2. Reference Templates in File Jobs

In a file job, set the content property to a string starting with @@ followed by the template name (e.g., @@myTemplate). The plugin will replace this string with the corresponding content from your templates object.

Example

{
  "plugins": ["file-templates"],
  "sharedContext": {
    "templates": {
      "reactComponent": "import React from 'react';\n\nconst MyComponent = () => {\n  return <div>Hello, World!</div>;\n};\n\nexport default MyComponent;",
      "packageJson": "{\n  \"name\": \"my-cool-project\",\n  \"version\": \"1.0.0\"\n}"
    }
  },
  "jobs": [
    {
      "type": "file",
      "name": "src/components/MyComponent.tsx",
      "content": "@@reactComponent"
    },
    {
      "type": "file",
      "name": "package.json",
      "content": "@@packageJson"
    }
  ]
}

When this scaffold is run, src/components/MyComponent.tsx will be created with the content of the reactComponent template, and package.json will be created with the content of the packageJson template.
