Custom Templates

Creating your own templates allows you to standardize the way your team starts new projects.

Creating a Module

1. Create Directory: Add a new folder under templates/ (e.g., templates/frontend/modules/my-cool-feature).
2. Add Files: Put your boilerplate code in this directory. Use .hbs extension for Handlebars processing.
3. Define Manifest: Create a module.json file.

Handlebars Variables

Trix provides several variables to your templates:

• {{projectName}}: The name of the new project.
• {{typescript}}: Boolean indicating if TypeScript is enabled.
• {{framework}}: The name of the selected framework.
• {{packageManager}}: The tool being used (npm, pnpm, etc.).

Example Template

// src/config.ts
export const config = {
  name: "{{projectName}}",
  version: "1.0.0",
  {{#if typescript}}
  type: "typescript"
  {{else}}
  type: "javascript"
  {{/if}}
};

Integrating with the CLI

To make your new template available in the prompts, you'll need to update the relevant prompt logic in src/prompts/.
