Command implementation of 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.

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.

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!% 

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.
