Folder Structure V2
An extended version of the original folder scaffolding extension. Now with smart patching, dynamic path tokens, and absolute control over your project structure.
This is a heavily improved fork of the original folder structure generator extension. It lets you quickly scaffold folders and files based on customizable templates, with dynamic variable substitution.
The core idea: templates can now patch existing files instead of overwriting them. I introduced a new syntax to allow inserting content after or before specific substrings inside a file. This enables precise, safe augmentation of existing logic (like Redux reducers or route declarations).
You can also use parts of the current absolute path as template variables. To do that, specify <Path0> - <PathN> up to depending on the folder depth. For example, if the path is "P:/projects/contributing/vscode-folder-templates", then <Path0> = P, <Path1> = projects, and so on. These can be transformed with casing filters too.
