li2

A project template generator using Liquid templates. Li2 was created to generate dilithium projects but could be used for many other programming languages.

Think jekyll, but for code.

Currently, there are 5 templates:

• default - a port of phaser_tutorial_02 to dart
• dartemis - a port of phaser_tutorial_02 using dartemis
• dilithium - an empty scaffold using dilithium
• match3 - demo game using dilithium
• coffee/pirate - demo in coffee-script

Quickstart

Install

$ sudo npm install dilithium -g

Create a new Dart project

$ li2 create game -t default
$ cd game
$ pub get
$ pub serve

Inject yaml config into application:

void main() {

  Dilithium
  .using("packages/appname/res")
  .then((config) => new App(config));

}

class App extends Dilithium {

  App(config) : super(config);

}

Usage

Usage:
  li2 create PATH [project -t name | <path>]
  li2 set --option "value"
  li2 set --source +.java --source -.dart

  set values are saved in ~/.dilithium.json

  -c  [--copyright]   # set copyright
  -d  [--description] # set description

What Next?

Copy /usr/lib/node_modules/dilithium/templates/default somewhere, and make your own template. Use flag --template path/to/template to specify your custom template.

Templates use Liquid syntax. The following variables are available:

• project.name
• project.libname
• project.author
• project.copyright
• project.description
• project.homepage
• project.license
• project.source

Templates can be used in path names. For example, in a project named 'Demo', a template file named {{project.name}}.dart is transformed into Demo.dart
