Create global template A global template can executed in any folder/path. To creat global template instead local template add "-g" after "-n":

jhs -n -g create class

First jhs will look for the template at "./.jhsTemplates" folder, if not found it will look search in the global template path.

Global template path Get

jhs config template location

Set

jhs config template location C:/Desenv/Templates

Require Modules Install your modules at ".jhsTemplates" folder, to see where ".jhsTemplates" is, execute command "jhs config template location". Any module installed at your ".jhsTemplates" folder will be accessible by require method in your template.

Require Files A js file can be called using require, by the relative path of the template file. Example:

require("./folder/fileToBeCalled");

Call Template from template

    callTemplate("./otherTemplate.js", [], []);

The second parameter is an array of input arguments. The third parameter is an arrays of named arguments.

Input Args Aditional parameters will became arguments inside the template:

jhs create class MyClassName calculateAge

class <#=inputArgs[0]#>{
     <#=inputArgs[1]#>(){

	 }
}

Named Args Passing named parameters.

jhs create class -methodName calculateAge -className MyClassName

class <#=namedArgs["className"]#>{
     <#=namedArgs["methodName"]#>(){
		 
	 }
}
