Feature request: Add theme templates #530
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When generating a new theme through the make:theme Artisan command, it would be helpful to have the ability to specify a template to use as the base to generate the new theme with.
Templates would technically live alongside themes in the themes directory. What determines a template will be a new template: true value being included in the theme manifest file.
Templates would not be able to be assigned as a sites theme directly. This is because templates would consist of placeholders for the system to replace during generation (e.g. {namespace})
Describe the solution you'd like
When running php artisan make:theme Test, add a new --template="Oxygen" flag to specify which template to use. If not passed, the new theme would use the default minimal template bundled with the CMS.
Feature request checklist
- This is a single feature (i.e. not a re-write of the entire CMS)
- The title starts with "Feature request: " and is followed by a clear feature name (Ex:
Feature request: add konami code to control panel) - I have searched for existing issues and to the best of my knowledge this is not a duplicate
