Enabling or Disabling Sections

Enabling or Disabling Sections

Each optional section in a mode can be enabled or disabled using the *_enabled boolean key. By default, most sections are enabled (true), but you can turn off any section if you don’t want it processed during scaffolding.

Example

cli_flags_enabled: true         # Set to false to disable CLI flags entirely
commands_enabled: true          # Set to false to skip running pre/post commands
directories_enabled: true       # Set to false to skip creating directories
units_enabled: true             # Set to false to skip creating units
templates_enabled: true         # Set to false to skip creating templates
naming_conventions_enabled: true # Set to false to skip applying naming conventions

Notes

  • Setting a section to false completely skips that system during the scaffolding process.
  • Even if the section is defined, ForgeFoundary will ignore it if the corresponding *_enabled flag is false.

  • Disabling directories has a cascading effect:

  • units and templates will not run if directories_enabled is false, since they rely on the folder structure to exist.

  • This gives you control to reuse modes without running certain systems, or to temporarily disable parts of a mode for testing.

For example, if cli_flags_enabled is false, the CLI flags section will be ignored, even if you have mutators and flags defined.
