What It Does ------------ [](#what-it-does) Template Genie analyzes your Craft CMS setup and generates: - **Section templates** - Entry point templates that delegate rendering to partials - **Entry type partials** - Field-aware templates with proper variable assignments - **Matrix/Content Block partials** - Nested element templates for complex fields - **Smart HTML output** - Optional semantic HTML rendering for rapid prototyping The plugin understands all 29 native Craft CMS field types (100% coverage) and generates appropriate variable assignments, null coalescing patterns, and helpful context comments. Key Features ------------ [](#key-features) - **Complete field support** - All native Craft 5 fields including Content Block - **Smart variable assignment** - Automatically handles `.one()` vs `.all()` based on relation limits - **Context-aware comments** - Field constraints, options, and limits included inline - **Layout integration** - Apply Twig layouts during generation - **Interactive mode** - User-friendly prompts for configuration - **Selective generation** - Generate templates only, partials only, or specific sections - **Safe overwrite handling** - Prompts before overwriting existing files Installation ------------ [](#installation) This plugin is available via Packagist: ``` composer require wuhhh/template-genie ./craft plugin/install template-genie && ./craft plugin/enable template-genie ``` Basic Usage ----------- [](#basic-usage) ### Interactive Mode (Recommended) [](#interactive-mode-recommended) Simply run the command with no options for an interactive setup wizard: ``` ./craft template-genie/generate ``` The interactive mode will guide you through: - Section selection - Template vs partial generation - Layout file selection - Output style preferences - Overwrite behavior ### Command Line Options [](#command-line-options) Generate templates and partials for specific sections: ``` # Generate everything for specific sections ./craft template-genie/generate --sections=blog,news # Generate only section templates ./craft template-genie/generate --sections=blog --templates-only # Generate only partials ./craft template-genie/generate --sections=blog --partials-only # Force overwrite without prompts ./craft template-genie/generate --sections=blog -f # Generate all sections ./craft template-genie/generate --all ``` ### Advanced Options [](#advanced-options) ``` # Apply a layout file during generation ./craft template-genie/generate --sections=blog --layout-file=_layouts/base.twig # Specify custom block name (default: 'content') ./craft template-genie/generate --sections=blog --layout-file=_layouts/base.twig --block-name=main # Generate with HTML output for rapid prototyping ./craft template-genie/generate --sections=blog --output-style=full --with-output # Wrap entry type partials in semantic elements ./craft template-genie/generate --sections=blog --wrap-entry-type ``` Output Styles ------------- [](#output-styles) Template Genie supports different output styles: ### Minimal (Default) [](#minimal-default) Generates only variable assignments with context comments: ``` {# Blog Post #} {% set title = entry.title ?? null %} {% set featuredImage = entry.featuredImage.one() ?? null %} {% set body = entry.body ?? null %} ``` ### Full [](#full) Includes semantic HTML rendering for rapid prototyping: ``` {# Blog Post #} {% set title = entry.title ?? null %} {% set featuredImage = entry.featuredImage.one() ?? null %} {% set body = entry.body ?? null %} {{ title }} {% if featuredImage %} {% endif %} {{ body }} ``` How It Works ------------ [](#how-it-works) ### Section Templates [](#section-templates) For sections with defined template paths, Template Genie generates entry point templates that delegate to partials: ``` {# templates/blog/_entry.twig #} {{ entry.render() }} ``` ### Entry Type Partials [](#entry-type-partials) Partials are generated at `_partials/entry/{entryTypeHandle}.twig` with field-aware variables: ``` {# _partials/entry/blogPost.twig #} {# Blog Post #} {% set title = entry.title ?? null %} {% set author = entry.author.one() ?? null %} {% set categories = entry.categories.all() ?? [] %} {% set featuredImage = entry.featuredImage.one() ?? null %} {% set body = entry.body ?? null %} {% set publishDate = entry.publishDate ?? null %} ``` ### Smart Field Handling [](#smart-field-handling) The plugin detects field configuration and generates appropriate patterns: **Single vs Multi Relations:** ``` {# Single relation (maxRelations = 1) #} {% set featuredImage = entry.featuredImage.one() ?? null %} {# Multi relation (maxRelations > 1 or null) #} {% set gallery = entry.gallery.all() ?? [] %} ``` **Field Constraints:** ``` {# Product description (160 char limit, no line breaks) #} {% set description = entry.description ?? null %} {# Gallery images (min 2, max 8 selections) #} {% set galleryImages = entry.galleryImages.all() ?? [] %} ``` **Field Options:** ``` {# Background color (options: aquamarine|turquoise|teal|whitesmoke) #} {% set backgroundColor = entry.backgroundColor.value ?? null %} ``` Field Support ------------- [](#field-support) Template Genie supports all 29 native Craft CMS field types with intelligent handling: - Addresses, Assets, Button Group, Categories, Checkboxes - Color, Content Block, Country, Date, Dropdown - Email, Entries, Icon, JSON, Lightswitch - Link, Matrix, Money, Multi-select, Number - Plain Text, Radio Buttons, Range, Table, Tags - Time, Users Each field type receives appropriate: - Variable assignment pattern - Null coalescing behavior - Context comments with constraints - Optional HTML rendering Tips ---- [](#tips) - **Use `.render()`** - Generated partials work automatically with Craft's render delegation - **Matrix fields** - Matrix block partials are auto-generated, use `{{ block.render() }}` - **Layouts** - Apply layouts during generation to wrap templates in your site structure - **Force mode** - Use `-f` flag in CI/CD pipelines to skip prompts - **Sections only** - Skip sections without template paths (valid for Channel sections) Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - Craft CMS ^5.0.0 - PHP ^8.2 License ------- [](#license) Proprietary - Commercial plugin for Craft CMS Support ------- [](#support) - **Documentation:** - **Issues:** ### Health Score 31 — LowBetter than 68% of packages Maintenance74 Regular maintenance activity Popularity6 Limited adoption so far Community2 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity36 Early-stage or recently created project How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
