danbailo Cookiecutter Template

This repository uses the cookiecutter tool to manage the template for creating new projects.

cookiecutter

This tool uses Jinja to write the template settings and we can easily define which values ​​we want to "replace" in the creation of a new project. We just need to write the file cookiecutter.json and declare which properties must be replaced in the new template.

Example:

{
    "some-variable": "foo",
    "python-file": "main",
    "common-file": "file"
}

Therefore, in the template directory, all places that are declared with {{some-variable}}, {{python-file}} or {{common-file}} will be generated with the new name defined at the time of execution.

It is still possible to apply Jinja filters to customize specific names from within the template.

Example:

• {{some-variable|lower}} - in the template this value will be generated in lowercase
• {{some-variable|upper}} - in the template this value will be generated in uppercase

Requisites

Just install the cookiecutter using pip

pip install cookiecutter

How to use

Call the cookiecutter in terminal passing the directory where it contains a cookiecutter template that configures the cookiecutter.json file.
