Update rename feature in the init script to accept a prompt
The init script supports renaming files and directories to a variable. In the example, it'll rename any instance of counter with the specified name of the project (eg directory it got created in).
It would be nice to support a prompt, probably with the syntax [[name]] and use the value of the name variable as the default.
This will allow the user to specify a different name for their program than the project name.
Once this is implement we need a follow-up issue to add a --yes flag to make sure that templates with a prompt can be installed automatically (for example on ci).
Flow
pnpm create solana-dapp@latest youtube-journal
# - pick the template
# init script runs and prompts:
> Rename instances of "counter" to: [name]
# Hitting enter will accept the default
# Entering a new value like `journal` it will use that.
Init script
{
"name": "your-template",
"create-solana-dapp": {
// Rename is a map of terms to rename
"rename": {
// Rename every instance of counter
"counter": {
// Prompt for the value, defaulting to the name of the project
"to": "[[name]]",
// In the following paths
"paths": ["anchor", "src"],
},
},
},
}
