Generate file structures on dynamic loop #1271

Open yajo opened 1 year ago

yajo commented 1 year ago

Just: {% yield single_var from looped_var %}{{ single_var }}{% endyield %}

The implementation could be similar to https://github.com/orgs/copier-org/discussions/908#discussioncomment-6505536:

Does single_var exist in context?

yes: do nothing special
no: raise YieldException("single_var", looped_var)

OK, we got the exception. Now, are you rendering a filename?

Yes: start loop. Inject single_var in the context and keep rendering the contents (of the dir/file, recursively).
No: just let the exception raise and print a nice message "Using yield outside of file names isn't supported".
