File Templates for SublimeText 2

This Package enables you and other Package Developers to include File Templates. A File Template is basically a snippet, a filename, a default path and optional arguments.

Installation

Package Control

The easiest way to install this is with Package Control.

If you just went and installed Package Control, you probably need to restart Sublime Text 2 before doing this next bit.

• Bring up the Command Palette (Command+Shift+p on OS X, Control+Shift+p on Linux/Windows).
• Select “Package Control: Install Package” (it'll take a few seconds)
• Select FileTemplates when the list appears.

Package Control will automatically keep FileTemplates up to date with the latest version.

Clone from GitHub

git clone http://github.com/mneuhaus/SublimeFileTemplates

Usage

Bring up the Command Palette and select “Create File From Template” or set up some key bindings as explained below.

Templates

The Templates are files with the extension “.file-template”

Here's a basic example

<template>




  <file>jQueryPlugin.js</file>


  <filename>jquery.$name.js</filename>



  <path>js/</path>


  <arguments>
    <name>Name:</name>
  </arguments>
</template>

Key bindings

The plugin does not install any key bindings automatically. You can set up your own key bindings like this:

{ "keys": ["super+ctrl+n"], "command": "create_file_from_template" }

If you are using Vintage mode and want to use sequences of non-modifier keys, you can restrict the key bindings to command mode like this:

{ "keys": [" ", "n"], "command": "create_file_from_template", "context": [{"key": "setting.command_mode"}] }

New Features

• add time and date variables,

record file creation time

"creation_time": {
    "day": "%d",
    "month": "%m",
    "year": "%Y",
    "short_weekdayname": "%a",
    "weekdayname": "%A",
    "short_monthname": "%b",
    "date": "%d/%m/%Y",
    "time": "%H:%M:%S"
  }

> use `$day`, `$date`, `$time`, ... in your templates.

- add customizable **attrs** variable,

  > add custom variables
  > 
``` json
  "attrs": {
    "author": "Your Name",
    "company": "Your Company",
    "email": "you@example.org",
    "github": "github.com/you",
    "foo": "bar"
  }

use $author, $company, $email, $github, $foo in your templates.

Thanks

This Package was forked from SublimeQuickFileCreator because it provided the best base for my needs and a good starting point to learn from :)
