Function: generateFiles

▸ generateFiles(tree, srcFolder, target, substitutions): void

Generates a folder of files based on provided templates.

While doing so it performs two substitutions:

Substitutes segments of file names surrounded by __
Uses ejs to substitute values in templates

Examples:

generateFiles(tree, path.join(__dirname, 'files'), './tools/scripts', {
  tmpl: '',
  name: 'myscript',
});

This command will take all the files from the files directory next to the place where the command is invoked from. It will replace all __tmpl__ with '' and all __name__ with 'myscript' in the file names, and will replace all <%= name %> with myscript in the files themselves. tmpl: '' is a common pattern. With it you can name files like this: index.ts__tmpl__, so your editor doesn't get confused about incorrect TypeScript files.

`srcFolder`	`string`	the source folder of files (absolute path)
`target`	`string`	the target folder (relative to the tree root)
