func main() {
{{_cursor_}}
}- Work with exist file
if there has a file main.go, and open it input Template <Tab> . select the template main_owner

package main
func main() {
| -- cursor in there
}- Work with not exist file
use Template test.go <TAB>, it will create a file named test.go in current path and auto open
this file insert template.
- Work with not exist file and custom variable
a lua template file named nvim_temp.lua, content is
local api,fn = vim.api,vim.fn
local {{_variable_}}
{{_cursor_}}
return {{_variable_}}
use Template test.lua var=template <TAB> then it will auto fill template name nvim_temp if there
only has one lua template file.
local api,fn = vim.api,vim.fn
local template
| -- cursor here
return template
- Work with exist file and custom variable
use Template var=template <TAB>
- Find all templates
template.nvim use telescope. so you need register template telescope extension to telescope
require("telescope").load_extension('find_template')
Then you can use Telescope find_template to check all templates
