bobtemplates.plone
provides mr.bob <http://mrbob.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>
_ templates to generate packages for Plone projects.
.. note::
With the plonecli <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/plonecli>
_, we have a nice command line client for bobtemplates.plone.
We highly recommend to use the plonecli, because it adds auto completion and some nice helpers to bobtemplates.plone.
Package created with bobtemplates.plone
use the current best-practices when creating an add-on. It also support's GIT by default, to keep track of changes one is doing with the bobtemplates.
These templates are meant to be used inside a package which was created by the addon template.
Add-on's created with bobtemplates.plone
are tested to work in Plone >= 5.2 and Python >= 3.7.
the only exceptions are the theming templates. Those are Plone 6 only, because the markup and Diazo rules have changed.
If you need to create Plone packages for older versions of Plone and Python, please use bobtemplates.plone 5.x. It should work on Linux, Mac and Windows.
Full documentation for end users and template developers can be found on bobtemplatesplone.readthedocs.io <https://bobtemplatesplone.readthedocs.io>

For easy usage see: `plonecli <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/plonecli>`_
You can install bobtemplates.plone as every other normal Python package with pip <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip>
user global or inside a virtualenv or better with pipx <https://pypa.github.io/pipx/installation/>
.
.. code-block:: console
pip install bobtemplates.plone --user
pipx installs bobtemplates.plone and all dependencies in a global isolated virtualenv.
.. code-block:: console
pipx install bobtemplates.plone
You can also install bobtemplates.plone
with pip in a virtualenv.
If you don't have an active virtualenv, you can create one inside your project directory.
.. code-block:: bash
python3 -m venv venv
Then either activate the virtualenv:
.. code-block:: bash
source ./venv/bin/activate
or just use the binaries directly inside the bin folder as below:
.. code-block:: console
./venv/bin/pip install bobtemplates.plone
As bobtemplates.plone is a template for mr.bob_, we use mrbob to run the templates.
If you are using pipx or have bobtemplates.plone globally installed, you can just use mrbob directly.
.. code-block:: console
mrbob bobtemplates.plone:addon -O src/collective.foo
If you are using an unactivated virtualenv, you can use mrbob like this:
.. code-block:: console
./venv/bin/mrbob bobtemplates.plone:addon -O src/collective.foo
If you are using an activated virtualenv, you can use mrbob like this:
Activate your virtualenv:
.. code-block:: console
source venv/bin/activate
.. code-block:: console
mrbob bobtemplates.plone:addon -O src/collective.foo
This will create your Plone package inside the src
directory.
See the documentation of mr.bob_ for further information.
You can set all mr.bob configuration <http://mrbob.readthedocs.io/en/latest/userguide.html#configuration>
_ parameters in your ~/.mrbob file.
Here is an example:
.. code-block:: bash
[mr.bob]

author.name = Maik Derstappen
author.email = md@derico.de
author.github.user = MrTango
