Templates

Quickly create new project with just a single command

Make your own template

From existing template

You can clone existing template and modify it. Simply find the path where your templates are installed (mixery-templates list to see it), then clone the template that you want to "fork".

From nothing

Any directory can be considered as "template" if it has at least 1 file.

Beyond files: template.config.mjs

template.config.mjs is a special file that can be used to configure your newly created project. See typescript.empty for example.

Your template.config.mjs file may exports a function with this signature:

/**
 * @param rootDir Project directory
 * @param cli The terminal. Read user's input with ``cli.prompt()``
 */
export function generate(rootDir: string, cli: templates.CLI): Promise<any>;

Exporting template

You can export the template by finding the directory that stores all installed templates, then archive it with any archiver command that you have (tar for example).
