Sample:

    Generate project in example/console:
        'stagedive -n example/console -p stagedive -t console'

stagedive -l - List the available templates
It looks for a template in lib_templates. If it finds a _template folder it scans for subfolders with manifest.yaml.
At the moment the only packages that has a _template folder is StageDive but you can define your own _templates-folder in your package.

Try stagedive -n example/console -p stagedive -t console This command will prompt you for your name and your email address.

StageDive creates the appropriate sample in example/console.

StageDive takes all variables defined in the manifest.yaml and replaces the according template fields.
There is one extra variable: basename basename is the name you specify with the -t option.

File-Content-Format: <%= varname %>
File-Name-Format: {varname}

Sample manifest.yaml

#templatename is not optional!
templatename: Simple Console

prompts:
  name:
    type: input
    question: "Add your name:"
    hint: "Used for the pubspec 'name:' field"
    
  email:
    type: input
    question: "Your email address:"

At the moment the there are two input types: input and lowercase.

• input: Asks you the 'question' and stores the answer in the defined variable.
• lowercase: Same as input but changes the answer to lowercase.
• uppercase: Same as input but changes the answer to uppercase.

Important

StageDive scans your installed packages (pub-cache).
This means StageDive recognizes only installed packages by default. If you want to change this behaviour or if you want to test your templates before installing them do the following:

In your project folder, create .stagedive/config.yaml

templatefolder: lib/_templates

or for multiple templates:

templatefolder: 
    - lib/_templates
    - temp/_templates

With this - StageDive knows how to find your local templates!
