Templates

You can add any files in this folder. All files and folders/subfolders added in this folder will be copied to destination and rendered with new variables.

Use <% variable.name %> syntax to edit your variables.

Example file

<?php

/**
 * Class TestFile
 * @author <% author.name %> <<% author.email %>>
 */
class TestFile
{
}

This will render

<?php

/**
 * Class TestFile

 */
class TestFile

}
