Official Website | Documentation | Template Repository | JS/TS version | PHP version | VSCode Extension

This extension provides syntax highlighting to template files for MTRGen (matronator/mtrgen-js) templates. It also provides a command to create files from MTRGen templates.

Features

  • Syntax highlighting for MTRGen templates
  • Snippets for MTRGen templates
  • File creation from MTRGen templates
  • Command to create files from MTRGen templates

Create files from MTRGen templates

This extension adds a button to the file explorer and a coresponding command to create files from MTRGen templates. Just run the command MTRGen: Create File from MTRGen Template and select a template from the list. If you have no MTRGen templates, the extension will create a .mtrgen folder in your project root and prompt you to create a new template.

Snippets

The extension provides common snippets for MTRGen templates. The following snippets are available:
