About:
Stencil is a modern, high-performance template engine designed for generating files across evolving code repositories. It uses a simple YAML configuration to define templates and variables, enabling consistent code generation and project scaffolding. The tool focuses on maintainability and ease of use for both individual developers and teams.
Key Features:
  • Declarative YAML-based configuration for easy setup
  • Powerful templating with support for loops, conditionals, and partials
  • Designed for version control, allowing templates to evolve with projects
  • Fast execution written in Rust for performance
  • Flexible variable injection and data sourcing
Use Cases:
  • Scaffolding new projects or microservices with consistent structure
  • Generating boilerplate code, configuration files, or documentation
  • Maintaining standardized project layouts across large organizations
Alternatives:
  • Cookiecutter – Stencil is focused on ongoing project evolution, whereas Cookiecutter is primarily for initial project creation.
  • Hygen – Hygen is tightly integrated with JavaScript ecosystems, while Stencil is a language-agnostic, standalone binary.
