       Dist::Zilla::Plugin::GenerateFile - build a custom file from only the plugin configuration

VERSION

       version 5.043

SYNOPSIS

       In your dist.ini:

         [GenerateFile]
         filename    = todo/{{ $dist->name }}-master-plan.txt
         name_is_template = 1
         content_is_template = 1
         content = # Outlines the plan for world domination by {{$dist->name}}
         content =
         content = Item 1: Think of an idea!
         content = Item 2: ?
         content = Item 3: Profit!

DESCRIPTION

       This plugin adds a file to the distribution.

       You can specify the content, as a sequence of lines, in your configuration.  The specified
       filename and content might be literals or might be Text::Template templates.

   Templating of the content
       If you provide "content_is_template" (or "is_template") parameter of "1", the content will
       be run through Text::Template.  The variables $plugin and $dist will be provided, set to
       the [GenerateFile] plugin and the Dist::Zilla object respectively.

       If you provide a "name_is_template" parameter of "1", the filename will be run through
       Text::Template.  The variables $plugin and $dist will be provided, set to the
       [GenerateFile] plugin and the Dist::Zilla object respectively.

ATTRIBUTES

       to form the file content.

       Text::Template template.  By default, it is false.
