MTRGen

Generate files from templates with ease.

Official Website | Documentation | Template Repository | TypeScript version

File generator for source code files.

MTRGen is a CLI tool that can be used in any project and generate files in any language. Create your own templates or use templates from the online repository. MTRGen is a great tool for generating boilerplate code, but it can also be used to generate any other type of file.

Requirements

• PHP >= 8.1
• Composer

Instalation

Install with Composer:

composer require matronator/mtrgen

Troubleshooting

If you get this error when trying to install:

matronator/mtrgen v1.0.0 requires composer-runtime-api ^2.2 -> found composer-runtime-api[2.1.0] but it does not match the constraint.

Run this command to update composer to the latest version:

composer self-update

If you can't or don't want to update composer, use version "^1.0" of this package as that doesn't depend on Composer runtime API 2.2.

Documentation

Read the full documentation here - needs to be updated to version 2!
