Helpers

Architect provides a suite of Handlebars helpers to make writing your templates a breeze.

By default, Architect provides all helpers supported by the handlebars and the handlebars_misc_helpers libraries.

Rhai scripting in templates (as provided by the handlebars library) is not supported!

Please take a look at the handlebarsjs Language Guide for guidance on how to actually use helpers.

package

In addition to all those helpers Architect provides a helper off its own: package. This helper is intended to help you write better templated directory names.

You can use this helper to create nested directory structures for your files, its use is to create multiple, nested directories from dot-separated values, e.g. a Java package.

This helper is not available in template files, only file or directory names.

Example:

• File path: src/main/java/{{ package javaPackage }}/Main.java
• Context: "javaPackage": "com.github.example"
• Result: src/main/java/com/github/example/Main.java
