cargo-generate 0.16.0

Release 0.16.0

on Rust Cargo

✨ Features

• Support --test for running tests on the expanded template

• Allow the template author to manually specify sub-temlates

  Sub-templates may now be specified in the cargo-generate.toml file like this:

  [template]
  sub_templates = ["sub1", "sub2"]

  Doing so also sets the order when cargo-generate asks what to expand, while the first option will be the default.

  If a selected template doesn't have a cargo-generate.toml file, but a parent one exists, any configured sub-templates will be ignored.

  Further implication is that sub-templates no longer needs to have a cargo-generate.toml file.

• Test for file existance from rhai scripts
  Adds the file::exists(path: &str) method for use from hook scripts.

• Conditionals and placeholders are now supported at multiple levels.
  If a template sets up more placeholders conditionally, those placeholders are now checked/asked
  for and respected for use in further expressions/conditionals.

• Set default VCS in the favorite or template config

• Add case filters to liquid and functions to Rhai. Enables case changing functionality from both liquid and Rhai

• Add placeholder {{is_init}}. Enables templates to adjust if they are expanded with the --init arg for cargo-generate

• Make it possible to convert to snake_case and kebab_case from Rhai

• New Rhai variable: is_init ?

• Return the path of the generated project from the generate function

• Support --tag in addition to --branch

• Set default VCS from within templates

• Let template specify it is designed to NOT go into a sub-folder (aka. the template always has --init behaviour)

• Add an option to overwrite files in an existing project

• Add a link to finding templates directly from the README

🤕 Fixes

• fix(#514): boolean value being ignored
• fix lint error
• fix for cargo-generate changes the $CWD
• should fail if --define placeholder value doesn't match placeholder regex
