Templates & Actions Overview

tempo uses Go’s standard text/template engine, enhanced with user-defined data and optional custom functions. It lets you scaffold components and variants by combining:

• Templates – which define the structure of your files.
• Actions – which specify how and where those templates are rendered.

This system is used in:

• tempo component define → for component templates and actions
• tempo variant define → for variant-specific scaffolding

The goal is to generate clean, consistent file structures based on your project layout and config.

• Templates – template variables, functions, and syntax
• Actions – defining and using action JSON
