Guide: Create your Forge file

Important

The forge file is still not supported in Fabricius. This guide will just show you what to expect out of it.

The Forge file is a file created in either your repo or in a template that allows you to define what Fabricius will do. Basically, it’s a configuration file, like the cookiecutter.json for CookieCutter. The difference with other tools is that we use a Python file to allows you more customization, with this approach, you can not only define how you want to create your template(s), but also:

1. Run some code you’ve made yourself instead of launching Fabricius (It’s up to you to create files! Perfect for use with the Generator!)

2. Add plugins when running Fabricius

3. Have a fully type-hinted/type-safe config file
