Support for different embedded templates (like ejs)

[marcelmokos]

Can I work on a PR that would add an option to change templating language from handlebars to ejs possibly other templating languages?

I am a user of plop ❤️ on many projects but I feel limited by handlebars templates and helpers. I would prefer to use Javascript as ejs allows.

I do not want to create a similar library with different templating language when I like and use plop on my projects.

Yes, I'm very much in favor of this sort of ability so long as handlebars stays as the "default" so users aren't required to pick a template language, but they can override if they'd like.

Any news about this?

[marcelmokos]

Unfortunately, I have decided to use https://www.hygen.io/ generator that is using ejs by default. I am not planning to work on this issue.

@marcelmokos I also started using hygen. Thank you

Transfering this issue to https://github.com/plopjs/plop/ since we're migrating all of node-plop to that repo as a monorepo

Closing in favor of #10, which describes the method of which we'd implement EJS support
