XML Usage

XML

To perform mapping for replacement with XML files, you will need to provide the following fields:

• file: Relative path to the XML file from the project root.
• query: Within the placeholders tag, provide the XPATH for the XML file attribute that needs to be changed.
• name: Value to be replaced for

Usage example:

• Config

mappings:
  - file: pom.xml
    placeholders:
      - query: /project/groupId
        name: Cookiecutter.param.groupId
      - query: /project/artifactId
        name: Cookiecutter.test.replace.map.artifactId

    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
