Before you can use this template (or any other template), you need to install mix gen.

This template is installed using the template.install mix task. Projects are generated from it using the mix gen task.

So, before using templates for the first time, you need to install these two tasks:

$ mix archive.install mix_templates
$ mix archive.install mix_generator

Then you can install this template using

$ mix template.install gen_template_component

New Component

To generate your new Elixir component

mix gen component «name» [ --into «path» ] [--module «module»]

«Module» must be a valid Elixir module name or alias.
