templetize 2014.09.21

Templetize is a script to convert a file or a directory (recursively) to a template for codegen and writes it to stdout.

Codegen uses a single jinja2 template from a given file or string and the data you provide to the code generator to recreate the previously templetized file structure (maybe renaming parts of it).

See the jinja2 documentation for the template syntax.

Code generator reads and evaluates templates generated with templetize and creates the directories and files according to the templates instructions.

Bevore operating the template will be parsed thru jinja2.

See the jinja2 documentation for the template syntax.

Code generator special directives start with “@@@” and extend to the end of the line. There are 3 different commands. An example:

@@@ dir dir/to/be/generated/

@@@ file dir/to/be/generated/with-a-file-{{inside}}.txt

This is the content {{inside}} of the file. The word inside will be replaced by jinja2. So if you set ‘inside’: ‘to-generate’, you will get a file called dir/to/be/generated/with-a-file-to-generate.txt with the content This is the content to-generate of the file. […]

Code generator will not throw exceptions but just ignore already existing files. They won’t be overwritten. A message is printed to stderr.
