Is there a way to put template in a directory without given name to the template?

[mikeyoshino]

I'm currently having a problem with putting a generated template in a directory, normally when preferNameDirectory is set to true, and you gave the name for -n. the template will be created inside a folder with the name of the folder is the name you have given to -n

My requirement is to generated a template in a folder but without given name to -n.
I would like a template to be generated in a folder that has a default name like "GeneratedCode" folder.
is there a way to give the default name to -n or to create a folder base on the default name.

Unfortunately, at the moment there is no way to force the template output be created to directory when -n or -o is not specified.

As a workaround, you can put the template content to subfolder ('GeneratedCode') inside the template definition and set preferNameDirectory to false. To allow the user change the name of that subfolder, you can use parameter symbol (--folder-name, as example) that renames the default subfolder name. However to do that user should use --folder-name, and not -n.

I will keep the issue open so we can discuss proper solution for this case.
