Neoman Template Manager

neoman - Old Saxon. None, nobody.

A template manager that intends to be nobody and nothing; it doesn't want to impose. Neoman knows that your code shouldn't have to become a project template, because it already is one. :relieved:

Basic Usage

Drop the following folder and file into your project, and Neoman will have all it needs.

MyProject/.neoman.config/template.json

A minimal template.json would look like this:

{
    "name": "My Project Template",
    "description": "My useful project template will lead many to triumph.",
    "author": "Noh Body",
    "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outis",
    "identity": "myprojtmp",

    "input": {
        "use": "prompt",
        "define": {
            "namespace": "What will the root namespace of your project be?"
        }
    },

    "transform": [
        { "subject": "my.project.namespace", "with": "{{namespace}}" }
    ],

    "#": "You don't need 'files' if you want the 'transform' and 'pathTransform' sections to apply to all files",
    "files": ["**/*.ts"]
}

Once your project is ready, setup a folder to store your templates, and copy the project folder there. Then, just point Neoman to it:

neoman setdir ./my-templates-folder

Now, you should be ready to start using it:

mkdir new-folder
cd new-folder
neoman new myprojtmp

Type neoman help for command help. If you run into any problems, please refer to the the wiki, first, and if worst comes to worse, file an issue.

Happy templating!
