filegen.nvim

A file generator plugin that uses user defined .template and LSP based generation. Other plugins support are also WIP

Why?

• I'm migrating from Jetbrains
• Generate project/context accurate files like in your ex-IDE
  • Angular? use ng-generate nvim plugin or native cli generation
  • Java? create the usual boilerplate or even more! or less? your choice
  • Not found? Create your own in a .template or define a generation strategy

Config

Now custom configuration is available:

Using lazy.nvim

{
    "sqbika/filegen.nvim",
    opts = {
      enable_builtin = { --Can be false / true instead table to turn on (default) or off builtin definitions
        pickers = true,
        modules = true
      },
      picker = "auto", --Name of the picker to use, "auto" uses first available one
      picker_definitions = {
        {
          name = "Auto Select First",
          fn_open = function(rows, callback)
            --rows contain all the all available options
            --callback is a function with a single parameter from the callback
            callback(next(rows))
          end
        }
      }
      module_definitions = {
        {
          name = "Test Module",
          type = "test_module",
          handle_module_call = function (path, done_callback)
            vim.notify("Test Module works, path: ".. path)
            done_callback()
          end
        }
      }
    }
}

Roadmap (unordered)

• Generate simple files from .template
  • Source .template files from $(NVIM_CONFIG)/templates
  • Source .template files from $PROJECT_ROOT/.templates ?
• Implement LSP based modules
• Implement Custom module registry
• Implement .template file templating
  • Upon file creation, you are prompted to replace {PLACEHOLDER} entries.
• Implement more file pickers
• Create commands for fast creation without picker
