how exactly partials are working? looks like it works from root only and broken with subfolders?

[plandem]

e.g. I want to create a single repo where I could have 1 project scaffold and bunch of scaffold templates?

• scaffold new [email protected]:user/repo.git
• scaffold new bootstrap

where first one will scaffold a project and second one will add missed files.

Here is my repo structure right now.

where my templates/bootstrap.yaml looks like this:

{{ if eq .Scaffold.type "docker" }}
{{ partial "env/docker" . }}
{{ else if eq .Scaffold.type "containerd" }}
{{ partial "env/containerd" . }}
{{ end }}

but when I run second command scaffold new bootstrap, I get the error failed to register partials FS: invalid partial name: env/containerd. When I move partials to the top of repo - the same level as bootstrap, then its kinda working. Is it by design? How can I isolate partials?

The main goal is - e.g. there should be one taskfile with bootsrap tasks, but which one (containerd or docker) will be decided with scaffold new bootstrap. Normally I would use feature, but it doesn't allow to rename files or change paths, rewrite has no conditions, so looks like templates + partials is the only way?

@hay-kot can you help with internals? I'm a bit confused with all these resolving paths for project, templates, partials. E.g. my main taskfile from .ProjectKebab is like this,

version: '3'

vars:
  PROJECT: myapp

includes:
  bootsrap:
    taskfile: .tasks/bootstrap.yaml

tasks:
  default:
    silent: true
    cmds:
      - task --list

but bootstrap.yaml is not included when scaffolding a project. It will be added later with scaffold new bootstrap

P.S.: I cant have bootstrap logic as part of project's scaffold, because project will be created once, but local bootstrap will be called by every teammate to set local environment, which can be different.

Hmm. Trying to understand what you're trying to accomplish, if you're just trying to render two different files based on a user choice you can accomplish this by putting all file contents in an {{ if ... }} block. Scaffold won't create empty files it will skip them.

Is it by design? How can I isolate partials?

As far as I understand what you're saying, yes I think that's intended. What do you mean by isolate partials?

I meant - partials as subfolder for 'component' template.

Right now we can have only templates folder and have to manually do "rewrite" for each file there. In general, I'm looking for away to add some "heavy" components with different folders, files that would copy to the project. Ideally without using "rewrite" for every file. E.g. "features" are not working for templates - I cant move folders with files.

So, I was going to use like - bootstrap a new project (just some boilerplate) - e.g. selected fullstack project, later I want to 1) add/scaffold SPA (React + TS and etc) as frontend and 2) golang backend. So "fullstack" scaffold for project is quite general in that case with ability to add required implementation for some parts. And I'm not sure its possible with current scaffold features, Am I right?

I don't think this is possible currently. I'd be happy to look at a PR that would enable this, though I'm not sure what that would look like. Maybe #275 would get you there?
