Add support for optional templates #341

Open moodmosaic opened 2 years ago

moodmosaic commented 2 years ago

Users should be able to (optionally) specify a template when scaffolding a new clarinet project.

Current usage of clarinet new is

clarinet new [OPTIONS] <NAME>

OPTIONS:
        --disable-telemetry    Do not provide developer usage telemetry for this project
    -h, --help                 Print help information

ARGS:
    <NAME>                     Project's name

Perhaps a template name could be specified in the options, e.g.:

clarinet new empty     # empty contract with clarinet test skeleton (current/default)
clarinet new react     # react frontend with some basic contract 
clarinet new fastcheck # basic contract with property-based tests
...

It should be possible for a user to list all templates via

clarinet new --list

It should be possible for a user to list all templates on web2/web3 via

clarinet new web --search

I like this! I've been thinking about the idea of having some sort of curated, open repository of patterns / recipes, where developers could get some templates for things like bitcoin bridging patterns or other.

Exactly, and templates with contract testing patterns like this, this, and this, to help detect unexpected bugs. Encoding contract invariants with the help of such templates can be a decent pre-auditing phase.
