Templates experimental

You can easily make language templates in your repository by:

1. Create a folder named templates in your repository root.
2. Create the folder with the name of the language you want to add, this will be the name of the template.
3. Add your files ending in .tmpl to the template folder.
4. Specify the runner command in the runner file.

For example, if you want to add a template for Rust, you can create a folder named templates/rust and add your files ending in .tmpl to it.

rust
├── Cargo.toml
├── runner
└── src
    └── main.rs

Then, you can use the template by running aoc start <day> -t <template_name> where --template (alias: -t) is the name of the template you want to use.

Variables

You can use the following variables in your template files:

• day: The day number.
• year: The year number.

Example:

//! Day {day} Solution
//!
//! Solution to AoC {year} Day {day}
//! https://adventofcode.com/{year}/day/{day}

fn main() {
    // let input = include_str!("../input.txt");
    // println!("{input}");
}

This will be replaced with:

//! Day 1 Solution
//!
//! Solution to AoC 2023 Day 1
//! https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/1

fn main() {
    // let input = include_str!("../input.txt");
    // println!("{input}");
}

WARNING

The {input} formatting above may also be replaced, with just input without the curly braces. This will be fixed in the future.
