Cheesecake - the best!

Cheesecake is a project/directory skeleton generator thingy for PHP. It is inspired by https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter.

Installation

    $ composer require madflow/cheesecake
    $ ./vendor/bin/cheesecake

Use it without the cli

    $template = __DIR__ .'/mytemplate';
    $output = __DIR__ .'/myoutput';
    $params = ['project_name' => 'Yeah!'];
    $options = [
        Generator::OPT_OUTPUT => $output,
        Generator::OPT_NO_INTERACTION => true,
    ];
    $o = new Generator($template, $params, $options);
    $o->run();

Development

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/madflow/cheesecake.git

# Install dependencies
cd cheesecake
composer install

Examples

Create a Silex starter project

# Create output directory
mkdir /tmp/silex

# Mmmh  - Cheesecake
./bin/cheesecake -o /tmp/silex examples/silex-starter

Hooks

Put your hooks in hooks and name them pre_gen.php or post_gen.php.

Hacks

• When processing Twig templates the Mustache engine tries to interpret expressions like {{ okay | upper }} and will fail with Mustache_Exception_UnknownFilterException: Unknown filter: upper
• In order to circumvent this, it is possible to define a magic filters_ignore parameter in your cheesecake.json file.

    {
        "app_name": "twig",
        "filters_ignore": ["upper"]
    }

• filters_ignore excepts an array of strings which will be translated to dummy filters.

---

• You can always try to change the delimiter like documented here: https://github.com/bobthecow/mustache.php/wiki/Mustache-Tags#set-delimiter
• This way it should be possible to circumvent problems with other template engines.
