Migration

v1.x to v2.x

CLI Changes

Remote config syntax:

• The :template_key suffix syntax has been removed. Use -k template_key instead.
• --github (-gh) is now --git (-g) and supports any Git URL. GitHub shorthand still works: -g username/project.
• The #template_file suffix syntax has been removed. Use --config (-c) to specify which file to look for inside the Git project.

Renamed flags:

v1.x	v2.x
--create-sub-folder / -s	--subdir / -s
--sub-folder-name-helper / -sh	--subdir-helper / -H
--verbose (true/false)	--log-level (debug, info, warn, error, none)

Boolean flags no longer take a value. Use -q instead of -q true, -s instead of -s 1, etc.

Behavior Changes

{{ Name }} removed. The auto-populated Name (PascalCase) variable is gone. Use {{ pascalCase name }} in your templates instead. If you need the old behavior, inject it manually via data:

module.exports = {
  default: {
    templates: ["templates/default"],
    output: "src",
    data: { Name: "{{ pascalCase name }}" }, // or set it programmatically
  },
}

v0.x to v1.x

In v1.0, the codebase was overhauled but usage remained mostly the same.

API Changes

v0.x	v1.x
new SimpleScaffold(opts).run()	SimpleScaffold(opts) (returns a Promise)
locals option	data option
--locals / -l flag	--data / -d flag

Template Syntax

Templates still use Handlebars.js. v1.x added built-in helpers (case transformations, date formatting), removing the need to pre-process template data for common operations like camelCase, snakeCase, etc.

See Templates for the full list of available helpers.
