To generate code from templates, you use a scaffolding tool to run predefined templates by providing a template name and variables. This enables consistent and repeatable code creation for React components.

Code scaffolding is the process of generating files and components from predefined templates. It works by taking template names and variables, then filling in the template structure to produce consistent, repeatable code for development tasks.

You can create and save custom code templates by defining the template structure and its variables. Once saved, these custom templates can be listed, detailed, and run to generate code for various development tasks.

Yes, you can preview generated code before applying a template by using a dry run. Running a template in dry run mode fills in the variables to show the output code without actually creating the files.

Yes, code generation works for scaffolding API endpoints and configuration files. By using established patterns in predefined templates, you can quickly generate consistent files for various development tasks beyond just React components.

When running a code template, you need to provide the template name and the specific variables required by that template. Optional documentation paths can also be provided for execution to generate the desired code.
