How to use my own templates?

[Narretz]

When I generate e.g. angular:controller, I want to use my own template.for example, I want to change how the dependencies are formatted. Is there an easy way to do this? Maybe an option that points to a path with a compatible template? Or is this in essence a new generator?
I realize this is not a generator-angular specific question, but the yeoman docs only seem to refer to templates when building a completely new generator.

what exactly are you talking about? Do you mean views in the angular app? or completely different files for the js controller code?

I think that you should put hands on generator angular itself to do what you want to do... maybe you need only to override a specific generator (for controllers, or service or myWhateverGenerator).
this way you still benefit from generatror-angular only care about new stuffs

This is something you could easily do by forking the Angular generator and customising per your needs. I'm not sure prompting for templates is in enough demand to justify an extra step for all users.

Ah, okay, thanks. So there's no way to configure the generator to use a different folder for the templates? I wouldn't want to tell the gen which templates to use when I run it, but before.
Forking the generator is probably the fastest way.

@Narretz are you merely trying to change the format of the dependencies to make them min-safe? the existing templates are pretty lite as is. can you describe your use case some more?
