[FEATURE] Arguments for templates in editor #11

Open jboulter11 opened 2 years ago

jboulter11 commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm trying to write a template which will generate code based on arguments, rather than existing code. It's going to be used in a codegen script to generate some basic classes but they need to be named based off the feature name, like ExampleClass.swift where Example is the feature name. However, I don't see a way to specify those args in the editor.

Describe the solution you'd like The ability to specify args for a template (probably in the right sidebar?)

Describe alternatives you've considered I've considered using a basic swift model source file to gen off of, but it would mean writing one to disk that just has a struct with my arg name. Would be better to just have an arg.

Additional context The template I'm developing will be triggered by a script and not only run in xcode or in the Sourcery Pro editor.

Xcode doesn't let you specify anything, for CLI run we already have arguments args, so don't really see anything else I could do here

do you want to have default values for Xcode extension run? so that you could have a single template for both CLI / Xcode

The template I'm writing isn't for an xcode use case, it'll be run in the CLI once I'm done writing it, I'm using Sourcery Pro to develop it. I want to be able to specify args for the template when it's running inside Sourcery Pro for development so it doesn't just throw an error when I try to use {{ arguments.name }} or whatever the syntax is.

I suppose if it was run in xcode just using whatever args were saved to it in Sourcery Pro would be the ideal, or even just disabling a template with args in xcode if that gets the feature working faster.
