Add a template

Adding a new template is very simple:

• Create a new folder with the name of the template in the templates folder.
• Add a template.json file to your template folder
• If you have any .gitignore files rename them to gitignore

template.json

template.json file should be in each one of the templates folder and it should look something like this.

{
  "name": "typescript-api",
  "description": "This template is used to create an express server with typescript, grahpql, typeorm, and postgres.",
  "commands": [
    {
      "name": "yarn",
      "description": "Install dependencies"
    }
  ],
  "secrets": [
    {
      "name": "DIGITALOCEAN_APP_NAME",
      "description": "Name of the digital ocean app the project will be deployed to."
    }
  ]
}

This file helps document the template for the cli's output. All of the properties are optional but recommended:

interface TemplateInfo {
    name: string;
    description?: string;
    commands?: {
        name: string;
        description: string;
    }[]; // Recommended commands, starter commands.
    secrets?: {
        name: string;
        description: string;
    }[]; // Secrets needed for github workflows to work.
}
