This repository is an example Custom Template Repository that can be used with the Cloud Code plugins for VSCode and IntelliJ. To see detailed infomration about how to work with template repositories, visit our documentation page.
The .template directory is where your templates.json file belongs. This file describes the contents of your repository so that Cloud Code knows where to look for your templates. It should look something like the following:
{
"metadata": {
"version": "1"
},
"templates": [
{
"path": "path/to/my/template",
"name": "My Template",
"description": "This template helps you create something amazing!",
"languages": ["lang-1", "lang-2", "lang-3", ...]
},
...
]
}
