Create a .vscode/templates folder in your project root

Just create a new file inside the templates dir. Every file will be considered a new template.

Folder templates allow the creationg of multiple files. Every file inside the template folder will be created in the destination. (Template substitution applies for every file)

Every template is compiled through mustache. So you can use {{ var }} substitution

The following variables are allowed in template substitution

• name: User input when creating templates
• dir: Base dir destination name
• namePrefix: Name prefix (param-case by default)
• nameSuffix: Name suffix (param-case by default)
• nameWithoutExt: Name without an extension (Ex: my-class.cpp would become my-class)
• nameWithoutPrefix: Name without prefix (param-case by default)
• nameWithoutSuffix: Name without suffix (param-case by default)

You can also use the following variants for each var

• varParam: The variable var param cased (some-name)
• varCamel: The variable var camel cased (someName)
• varPascal: The variable var pascal cased (SomeName)
• varSnake: The variable var snake cased (some_name)
• varConstant: The variable var snake cased (SOME_NAME)
• varDot: The variable var snake cased (some.name)
