new config

Below are the config properties used in the repodog new script. The .repodogrc config file must be located at the root of your project or globally. If you want the config to be global, use the setup command to create/update a global config.

additionalTemplatesPath

Include additional templates as part of the set of templates used to generate a folder structure. You can use the type, subtype and custom-type-path options to target specific template sets based on the folder structure within your additional templates path.

The additional templates path is relative to the current working directory if declared in a project config or absolute if declared in a global config.

The templating functionality is powered by hygen so all templates must to adhere to its rules.

The example below uses the additional command.ejs.t template file when repodog new is called with pkg library cli.

// filesystem
_templates/
- new/
  - pkg/
    - library/
      - cli/
        - command.ejs.t

// <projectRoot>/.repodogrc
{
  "additionalTemplatesPath": "./_templates"
}

questionOverrides

Add, remove, and/or replace the base set of questions for a given type and subtype. You can use the type, subtype and custom-type-path options to target the overrides to create bespoke question sets.

questionOverrides can only be declared in a project config. To set questionOverrides globally, see the questionOverridesPath property.

The example below adds two questions, removes one, and updates one when repodog new is called with pkg library cli.

// .repodogrc
{
  "questionOverrides": {
    "new": {
      "pkg": {
        "library": {
          "cli": {
            "add": [
              {
                "message": "What is the cli command?",
                "name": "cliCommand",
                "required": true,
                "type": "input"
              },
              {
                "message": "What is the cli description?",
                "name": "cliDescription",
                "required": true,
                "type": "input"
              }
            ],
            "remove": ["mainFilename"],
            "replace": [
              {
                "message": "What is the homepage for the package's repository?",
                "name": "homepage",
                "required": true,
                "type": "input"
              }
            ]
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

questionOverridesPath

Path to the JSON file containing your question overrides. The file adheres to the same structure as in the example above, except the content is not nested within a questionOverrides property.

The path is relative to the current working directory if declared in a project config or absolute if declared in a global config.

templateVariables

Values to populate your templates with. You can use the type, subtype and custom-type-path options to target the variables to specific template sets. The config allows for variables to be applied to all templates or a branch of templates through the * character.

Template variables are flattened and merged and the output is passed into the templates. If any of the keys match the name a question, then the key's value is used as the question's initial answer.

templateVariables can only be declared in a project config. To set templateVariables globally, see the templateVariablesPath property.

// .repodogrc
{
  "templateVariables": {
    "*": {
      "author": "Dylan Aubrey",
      "homepage": "https://github.com/badbatch/repodog",
      "org": "repodog"
    },
    "new": {
      "pkg": {
        "library": {
          "cli": {
            "mainFilename": "handler"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

templateVariablesPath

Path to the JSON file containing your template variable overrides. The file adheres to the same structure as in the example above, except the content is not nested within a templateVariables property.

The path is relative to the current working directory if declared in a project config or absolute if declared in a global config.
