Templating: Need Support for additional file types

Created on 8 Feb 2017 · 7Comments · Source: dotnet/templating

We need support for these file types. Many will be setup the same as each other:

[x] **/.bowerrc
[ ] */.il
[x] */.js
[x] */.ts
[ ] */.less
[ ] */.sass
[x] */.vb
[x] */.vbhtml
[x] */.c
[x] */.cxx
[x] */.hxx
[ ] */.wxi
[ ] */.wxl
[ ] */.wxs
[x] */.*proj.user
[x] */.msbuild
[x] */.props
[x] */.targets
[ ] */.handlebars
[ ] */.hbs
[ ] */.vue
[x] **/app.config
[x] **/web.config
[x] */web..config
[x] **/packages.config
[x] */.nuspec
[x] */.xml
[ ] */.psess
[x] */.xslt
[x] */.xsd
[x] */.xaml
[x] */.resx
[x] */.vsixmanifest
[x] */.vsct
[x] */.jsx
[x] */.tsx
[x] */.sln
[ ] **/.gitignore
[x] */.sh
[x] */.haml
[x] */.json
[x] */.css.min
[x] */.css
[x] */.cshtml
[x] */.cs
[x] */.fs
[x] */.cpp
[x] */.h
[x] */.hpp
[x] */.*proj
[x] */.*htm
[x] */.*html
[x] */.jsp
[x] */.asp
[x] */.aspx
[x] */.bat

@mhutch anything you can think of that's missing from this list?

mlorbetske on 8 Feb 2017

For iOS and Android I would add:

.storyboard
.axml
.plist
.xib
.strings

These are all really just XML.

We will discuss which of these file types fit our roadmap.

In order to support conditions in the places I required them, I had to add configuration for yml, Dockerfile, and nuget.config.

"SpecialCustomOperations": {
    "**/*.yml": {
      "operations": [
        {
          "type": "conditional",
          "configuration": {
            "if": [ "#-if" ],
            "else": [ "#-else" ],
            "elseif": [ "#-elseif" ],
            "endif": [ "#-endif" ],
            "trim": true,
            "wholeLine": true,
            "evaluator": "C++"
          }
        }
      ]
    },
    "**/Dockerfile": {
      "operations": [
        {
          "type": "conditional",
          "configuration": {
            "if": [ "#-if" ],
            "else": [ "#-else" ],
            "elseif": [ "#-elseif" ],
            "endif": [ "#-endif" ],
            "trim": true,
            "wholeLine": true,
            "evaluator": "C++"
          }
        }
      ]
    },
    "**/nuget.config": {
      "operations": [
        {
          "type": "conditional",
          "configuration":{
            "if": [ "<!--#if" ],
            "else": [ "<!--#else" ],
            "elseif": [ "<!--#elseif" ],
            "endif": [ "<!--#endif" ],
            "trim": true,
            "wholeLine": true,
            "evaluator": "C++"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }

I'd like to add:

*.md
.gitattributes
.editorconfig
*.cake

These are the configurations I'm using to add support for *.md, *.editorconfig, Dockerfile and *.yml. Crucially, these include support for uncommenting.

"**/*.md": {
      "operations": [
        {
          "type": "conditional",

            "actionableElse": [ "#else", "<!--#else" ],
            "actionableElseif": [ "#elseif", "<!--#elseif", "#elif", "<!--#elif" ],
            "endif": [ "#endif", "<!--#endif" ],
            "trim": "true",
            "wholeLine": "true",
            "actions": [ "fixPseudoNestedComments" ]
          }
        },
