What for?

You all came across some *.dist or *.skel files of some sort. This library can be used to replace every existing substitute in those files as well as simply list them.

Install

To install this library simply use composer.

$ composer require icanhazstring/tempa-php

After you have done this you need to create a tempa.json file inside you project. This file holds some basic information about the template files.

Here is an example

{
  "fileExtensions": ["dist", "skel"],
  "prefix": "{$",
  "suffix": "}"
}

Usage

Scan

You can scan a directory or single file using the scan command.

$ vendor/bin/tempa file:scan <dir> [<config>]

You can deliver every other config you want. By default the script will take the tempa.json from the location you executed the script.

$ vendor/bin/tempa file:scan test/Demo
$ vendor/bin/tempa file:scan test/Demo test/Demo/tempa.json
