Minicli Stencil Command
=======================

[](#minicli-stencil-command)

Command implementation of [minicli/stencil](https://github.com/minicli/stencil). This command will generate files based on Stencil templates. It is useful for creating boilerplate files such as new classes and other documents that should follow a certain structure or template.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First, import this command with Composer:

```
composer require minicli/command-stencil
```

Then, edit your app's config to include `@minicli/command-help` within your `app_path` definitions. You'll also need to set the `stencilDir` config variable and point it to your Stencils directory. For instance:

```
$app = new App([
    'app_path' => [
            __DIR__ . '/app/Command',
            '@minicli/command-stencil'
        ],
    'stencilDir' => __DIR__ . '/stencils',
    'debug' => true
]);
```

You should now be able to run the `./minicli stencil` command.

### Testing templates

[](#testing-templates)

You can copy the example template from `vendor/minicli/command-stencil/stencils/example.tpl` to test it out:

```
cp ./vendor/minicli/command-stencil/stencils/example.tpl ./stencils
```

Then, run `./minicli stencil` with the template set to `example`, providing the expected variable `name`:

```
./minicli stencil template=example name=YourName
```

```
Hello YourName!%
```

### Output content to a file

[](#output-content-to-a-file)

Include an `output=full-path-to-file` to save the parsed content to a file:

```
./minicli stencil template=example name=YourName output=test.txt
```

```
Hello YourName!%
```

You should see a file named `test.txt` with the same output of the command. To suppress the command output, set `debug` to `false` in the app's configuration.
