... and it is called NTypewriter

NTypewriter

It is still in preview, but I think it is good enough to start gathering feedback.

@NeVeSpl Very promising! I will definitely check it out.

I switched over to NTypewriter this week and now I am up and running using it instead of Typewriter. It's fantastic. @NeVeSpl was great to work with on getting some things ironed out, but at this point, I am very happy with my generated files.

The benefits I see:

I have complete control over the whitespace
My source has multiple types in a single file and NTypewriter allows me to create a file per class (or really a file for whatever I want).
It allows me to control the name of the files that are created
It only writes the files when they change
And the script files are much shorter and simpler than my Typewriter files.
Parsing errors are clearly dumped to the output. Once I got the hang of debugging in Scriban, I found it easier to write and debug the scripts.

I highly recommend checking it out.

Indeed it is better imo. I was easily able to save files outside of the repository for example.
