temgen

A tool generating a directory architecture or a file, from a template.

Example

A template example stored to path/to/template.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<template>
    <vars>
        <var name="project_root_dir" type="gstr" regex="[a-zA-Z0-9_]+" />
        <var name="message" type="str" />
    </vars>
    <dir path="{project_root_dir}">
        <file path="data.txt">
"{message}"
        </file>
    </dir>
</template>

It is used with temgen simply like that:

temgen path/to/template.xml

For project_root_dir = "project" and message = "coucou", temgen will generate the following dir architecture:

project
 `-- data.txt (contents:coucou\n)
