List templates if no template name is provided #18

Closed nixin72 closed 2 years ago

nixin72 commented 2 years ago

Similar to the way dotnet new will list all the available project types when you don't provide a template to use, raco new will do the same instead of giving an error message.

AWESOME

Before merging I'm gonna add some more metadata to the templates files themselves in racket-templates so that we can get a little more data in the listing rather than just the name.

I've also did it in a previous commit not in this PR, but you can also do raco new --list <query> and it'll search for packages that contain the query string you give it.

I'll work on this some more this evening and document the changes a bit better in the README.

Okay, listing templates works well now. I've added descriptions to the templates, we can change what data we have later, but I think going into a tagging system isn't really necessary and if we want to do that we should just use the existing infrastructure for Racket packages.

This also addresses #15 now and provides the list-templates function to return a list of hashes of all the templates available.

If you have any comments or anything you'd like added/changed @spdegabrielle let me know. Otherwise if it's good, you can close #13 and #15 and I'll merge this in :+1:

Please go ahead and merge. I will need to provide a PR to sauron to add the list-templates function
