TEMPLATES STORAGE Templates are searched in ./.acgt and ~/.acgt
Templates are written using Mote, and should end in .mote
extension.
EXAMPLE USAGE Given a template ~/.acgt/gemspec.mote with the following contents:
# encoding: utf-8
Gem::Specification.new do |s|
s.name = "{{ name }}"
s.version = "{{ version }}"
s.summary = "{{ description }}"
s.description = "{{ description }}"
s. = {{ .inspect }}
s.email = {{ email.inspect }}
s.homepage = "{{ homepage }}"
s.files = `git ls-files 2> /dev/null`.split("\n")
end
we can issue the following command to generate:
acgt gemspec name:acgt version:0.0.1 \
description:"DNA for simple generators" \
authors:"Leandro López" email:"[email protected]" \
homepage:"http://inkel.github.com/acgt" \
authors: email:
generates the following output:
# encoding: utf-8
Gem::Specification.new do |s|
s.name = "acgt"
s.version = "0.0.1"
s.summary = "DNA for simple generators"
s.description = "DNA for simple generators"
s. = ["Leandro Lopez"]
s.email = ["[email protected]"]
s.homepage = "http://inkel.github.com/acgt"
s.files = `git ls-files 2> /dev/null`.split("\n")
end
In this example we've used empty authors and email vars at the
end to convert it to an array.
