Boiler: versionet e vjetra dhe historiku

🚀 bl Engine - Scripting, Local Scopes & Silent Scaffolding
Boiler v0.5.0 is the biggest release yet. Boiler is no longer just a snippet/stack manager - it's a full code automation engine. Write .bl scripts once, run them anywhere.
✨ What's New
🧠 bl Scripting Engine (bl new <script>)
Write automation scripts in .bl files and run them with bl new:
__desc = "Scaffolds a new React Component"
__author = 'Abhinav Prakash'
__version = 1.0.0
__var bl__name = bl__1.capitalize()
__var bl__content = bl__2.kebabCase()
create ./src/components/bl__name.jsx `
const bl__name = () => {
return (
<div>
bl__content
</div>
)
}
export default bl__name
`
inject ./src/App.jsx -d imports -a -c `
import bl__name from './components/bl__name'
`
inject ./src/App.jsx -d components -a -c ` <bl__name/> `
#if bl__lint
run pnpm run lint
#endif
**You can use the above script directly using bl **
bl use rishiyaduwanshi/boiler-snippets:bl/cmp.bl bl/commands
How to run the above script:
bl new cmp button "this-is-the-2nd-argument" --lint
> --lint is passed as a flag — when present, pnpm run lint runs after scaffolding.
- Variable system - positional args (bl__1, bl__2) and named flags (--name=MyApp)
- Variable modifiers - .capitalize(), .camelCase(), .snake_case(), .kebabCase(), .pascalCase(), .upper(), .lower(), .title()
- Conditionals - #if, #else, #endif with &&, ||, !, ==, !=
- create - generate files with inline content (backtick blocks)
- inject - insert code between detector markers in existing files (-d, -a, -p, -c flags)
- run - execute OS commands directly (npm, git, go, etc.) - no shell, no injection risk
- Native Boiler commands - call add, use, store, alias from within scripts
🔒 Local Project Store (--local)
Project-specific templates that live inside your repo:
myproject/
├── bl/
│ ├── commands/ ← .bl scripts live here
│ │ └── component.bl
│ └── store/
│ └── snippets/ ← local snippets
└── boiler.local.json
- bl new component MyButton --local - runs script relative to project root
- boiler.local.json auto-discovery - finds nearest config walking up the tree
- Clear separation: global ~/.boiler vs local bl/
⚡ Silent Scaffolding Pipeline (BOILER_VAR_*)
Pre-fill variables via environment - skip all prompts, fully automate:
BOILER_VAR_bl__name=AuthService \
BOILER_VAR_bl__type=service \
bl new scaffold
- Works with create, inject, run, and all native Boiler commands
- Variables propagate to child bl processes automatically
- Enables Hygen-style CI/CD scaffolding pipelines
🐛 Bug Fixes
- bl use now fully processes templates (variables, prompts, metadata stripping)
- Remote registry path resolution fixed - no more snippet does not have a valid remote location
- Config JSON parse errors now surface immediately instead of silently falling back to global scope
- Command injection prevention - run commands execute directly without any shell interpreter
- Per-token interpolation - variable values with spaces are treated as atomic arguments
🔐 Security
- Removed all sh -c / cmd /c shell wrappers from run command execution
- run and native commands now tokenize the template before variable substitution
- --local scope now hard-errors if working directory cannot be resolved (prevents silent global store access)
📚 Documentation
- Website overhaul - homepage, introduction, quickstart, use cases
- New bl Scripts guide with full syntax reference
- New Best Practices guide
- New Project Structure guide (global vs local)
- Fixed markdown tables (HTML fallback for Astro/GFM)
