  5. Type (string, boolean, list, map, json)
  6. Default Value (optional or file path for JSON)

Variable Types

Boolean True or False true
List List of values ["feature1", "feature2"]

Using Variables in Templates

  • Use {{variable_name}} in filenames and file contents.
  • Supports loops, conditions, and chaining (see Templates.md).

Editing Variables

  • Update variable values anytime in Project Variables.
  • JSON variables re-parse on change.
  • Changes apply immediately in project generation.

Best Practices

  • Use clear and consistent variable names.
  • Provide defaults for optional variables.
  • Group related variables logically.
  • Use JSON for structured config (e.g., OpenAPI, settings, data models).
