If you created custom templates you might later want to find out what you named them.

Something like choco new -list?

@TheCakeIsNaOH
(chocolatey#449) List installed template names
ab4daca 
Adds "-l"/"--list" switch to choco new.
This lists the custom templates that are installed in the templates
directory. This is accomplished by simply getting a list of the
sub-directories under the template directory and printing it out.
Also prints out the number of directories found.

I'm not sure this would be covered by this issue, or should be split into another issue, but I just want to get this down.

After considering this some more, it is not just the names of the installed templates I would want to know, but these pieces of information as well.

  • List of the filenames of the files that each template creates
  • List of parameters that can be passed to a template (probably overall or maybe per file?)
  • If installed via a package, the description of the template might be nice to see.
  • If installed via a package, the version of the package
  • If set, note if it is the default template.

After some discussion with @gep13, this is now planned to be implemented a new command, template instead of in new. This is because using choco new to list templates seems to be diluting what the command does.

A suggestion was that the parameters in the templates should be cached instead of being read every time. This will add significant complexity, so I am probably going to hold off on implementing that right away, and instead tackle displaying the list of parameters as a follow along PR.

I am thinking of implementing two subcommands; list and info. List will list the template names, version (if applicable), and note the default template. Info will take the name of a template as a parameter and print out all of the information for that specific template.

(chocolatey#449) Template service rename noop to generate_noop
64f2d29 
This is in preparation for creation of a list_noop method to be used by
the template command. Having just a noop method can be confusing if
there are both generate and list methods.

(chocolatey#449) Add template command
fb6daf3 
This allows a user to get information about all installed templates, or
a specific template. The list subcommand lists all installed templates.
The info subcommand lists verbose information about a specific template

Usage with -r should output a machine parsable list of the installed
templates. Usage with verbose (implied with the info subcommand)
outputs more information about the template(s).

The information displayed here can be gathered by running the list
command, config command and inspecting the contents of the
TemplatesLocation. However, this command allows the information to be
displayed in one location.
