Marks

Module use marks for replace variables in templates.

• {{PascalCase}} - PascalCase by schema name
• {{camelCase}} - camelCase by schema name
• {{snake_case}} - snake_case by schema name
• {{kebab-case}} - kebab-case by schema name
• {{UPPERCASE}} - UPPERCASE by schema name
• {{lowercase}} - lowercase by schema name
• {{[key]}} - custom key from property custom_fields on config ( see Custom Fields )

Example

for schema name Product Items replace marks:

• {{PascalCase}} - ProductItems
• {{camelCase}} - productItems
• {{snake_case}} - product_items
• {{kebab-case}} - product-items
• {{UPPERCASE}} - PRODUCT ITEMS
• {{lowercase}} - product items

Cache (optional)

Configuration for the cache folder with schema data.

• dir - path to the cache directory with schema data
• ext - extension of the cache file

Default configuration:

$config['modules']['gii'] = [
    'class' => Module::class,
        'generators' => [
            'fileCrafter' => [
            'options' => [
                // ... 
                'cache' => [
                    'dir' => '@runtime/yii2-file-crafter/cache',
                    'ext' => '.json'
                ],

        ],
    ]
];

Source (optional)

Configuration for the source folder with templates files.

• dir - path to the directory with the templates files source for generation
• ext - extension of the templates file

Default configuration:

$config['modules']['gii'] = [

        'generators' => [
            'fileCrafter' => [
            'options' => [
                // ... 
                'source' => [

                    'ext' => '.tpl'
                ],
                // ...
            ],
        ],
    ]
];

Templates (required)

Array with groups of templates for use on generate files.

[
    ['group1'] => [
        'template1' => 'path/from/project/root/to/resultFile.tpl',

        // ...
    ],
    ['group2'] => [
        'template1.php' => '@path/alias/to/resultFile.tpl',
        '@alias/to/template' => 'path/from/project/root/to/resultFile.php',
        // ...
    ],
]

The source path may contain:

• some @ alias ( source['dir'] - default container )

Source folder path can be set in the configuration file. ( see Source )

The resultFile path may contain:

Content of the templates file rendered with the View method renderFile
And prepared with the $replaceList array contains all marks. ( see Marks )
And also passed to the render method:

• $schema - schema object
• $generator - self generator object
