C++ class

A blueprint that creates a C++ class in the common include/ + src/ layout. It asks for two values: the class name and the namespace.

Config

blueprintor.config.js

module.exports = {
    blueprints: [
        {
            title: "C++ class",
            variables: [
                { key: "name", prompt: "Class name" },
                { key: "ns", prompt: "Namespace" },
            ],
            snippets: {
                header: `
#pragma once

namespace {ns.snake} {

class {name.pascal} {
public:
    void run();
};

}  // namespace {ns.snake}
`,
                source: `
#include "{ns.snake}/{name.pascal}.hpp"

namespace {ns.snake} {

void {name.pascal}::run() {}

}  // namespace {ns.snake}
`,
            },
            structure: {
                folders: [
                    {
                        name: "include",
                        folders: [
                            {
                                name: "{ns.snake}",
                                files: [{ name: "{name.pascal}.hpp", snippet: "header" }],
                            },
                        ],
                    },
                    {
                        name: "src",
                        files: [{ name: "{name.pascal}.cpp", snippet: "source" }],
                    },
                ],
            },
        },
    ],
};

An include guard would need an uppercase form of the name, so the header uses #pragma once.

Run

1. Right-click the project root in the Explorer and choose Run Blueprintor….

2. Select C++ class.

3. Enter http client as the class name, then my app as the namespace.

Result

• Directorymy-project

  • Directoryinclude

    • Directorymy_app

      • HttpClient.hpp
  • Directorysrc

    • HttpClient.cpp

HttpClient.hpp

#pragma once

namespace my_app {

class HttpClient {
public:
    void run();
};

}  // namespace my_app

HttpClient.cpp

#include "my_app/HttpClient.hpp"

namespace my_app {

void HttpClient::run() {}

}  // namespace my_app

The class name uses {name.pascal}, the namespace and its folder use {ns.snake}. One blueprint creates files in two different folders, and the #include path always matches the folder it points to.
