Cast

Cast is a template that should be generated. It consists of the following sections:

• to - path where the cast should be generated
• from - source of the cast
• variables - variables that can be used in the cast

Additionally, cast can have the following sections:

• if, unless - condition(s) that should (or not) be met to render the cast
• each - collection that should be used to render the cast multiple times

And other sections that will be later mentioned in Conditional Rendering and Collection Casts sections.

Cast destination (to)

Destination is a path where the cast should be generated. It must be relative to the root property. The destination may be templated using the Variables section at root level and from the cast context.

Cast source (from)

Source is a template that should be generated. The source will be rendered using the Go templates package. The source may be templated using the Variables section at root level and from the cast context.

Cast variables

Variables are used to provide data for cast generation. They can be used in the to and from fields. Variables are defined as a list of variable objects. The value can be either a string or a list of strings. Further information about variables can be found in the Variables section.

Example

version: 1
name: My Project
root: ./generated
casts:
  hello-world:
    to: ./hello-world
    from: |
      Hello {{ .project_name }}!
    variables:
      - name: project_name
        value: My Project
