Copier allows you to run post render tasks, just like cookiecutter. These are defined as a list of tasks
in your copier.yml
. They are simply shell commands to run.
The example I have below runs an update-gratitude
bash script after the copier template has been rendered.
# copier.yml
num: 128
_answers_file: .gratitude-copier-answers.yml
_tasks:
- "update-gratitude"
I have put the script in ~/.local/bin
so that I know it's always on my
$PATH
. It will reach back into the copier.yml
and update the default
number.
#!/bin/bash
# ~/.local/bin/update-gratitude
current=`awk '{print $2}' ~/.copier-templates/gratitude/copier.yml | head -n 1` new=`expr $current + 1` echo $current echo $new sed -i "s/$current/$new/g" ~/.copier-templates/gratitude/copier.yml
