The basic Hello World template, with no additional configuration.

Template Source Code

sample01.template.cs

using HoofMark.CSharpTemplating.Abstractions;

namespace samples.sample01;

/// <summary>
/// A basic 'Hello World' template that writes a single text file to the default output directory.
/// </summary>
public class Template01 : ITemplate
{
    public static void Run(ITemplateContext context)
    {
        context.WriteFile("sample01.txt", "Hello from Template01!");
    }
}
