Template-based and language-agnostic code generation script.

Mainly designed to save development time while writing boilerplate code. Allows to quickly scaffold a custom file structure defined by a template.

Templates are directories which can contain placeholders in file contents, file names and folder names. Once a template is selected, the CLI script will prompt you to enter a value for each different placeholder found in the template, then will generate an output mirroring the template and replacing placeholders with specified values.

Simply create a new directory under the templates' directory (./templates by default). Its name will be the name of the template.

Inside the template directory create as many folders and files as you need, adding placeholders in file/directory names or file contents with the following syntax {{placeholderName}} (customization is possible, see Configuration).

Run the script and follow the instructions.

node t2c.js

Example showing how the example output located in ./generated was obtained.

The script will use all settings specified in t2c.config.js.

These properties can be modified to customize settings like templates directory, output directory or placeholder syntax.
