Templates with multiple files
Some programming patterns and frameworks require a set of related files, usually with a very specific structure. For example, you can create separate SQL files: one that creates database structure, and the other one that inserts the data to the database.
In DataGrip, you can create sets of related files by adding child templates to a file template. When you create a file from such a template, it will also create files from child templates.
Create a template with multiple files
-
In the Settings dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S) , select .
-
Create the main file template.
On the Files tab, click
and specify the name, file extension, and body of the template. -
Select the new template in the list and click
on the toolbar. Specify the name, file extension, and body of the child template.
Example: Template for a table
-
In the Settings dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S) , select .
-
Create the table structure template.
On the Files tab, click
and specify the following:-
Name:
Table -
Extension:
sql -
File name:
${NAME}
Add the following code to the template body:
CREATE TABLE ${NAME} ( id integer DEFAULT NOT NULL, first_name character varying(45) NOT NULL, last_name character varying(45) NOT NULL, last_update timestamp without time zone DEFAULT now() NOT NULL );The name of this table will match the name that you provide, for example:
actor. -
-
Create the table data template.
Select the new Table template in the list and click
in the toolbar. Specify the following:-
File name:
${NAME}_data -
Extension:
sql
Add the following code to the template body:
INSERT INTO ${NAME} (id,first_name,last_name,last_update) VALUES ('1','PENELOPE','GUINESS','2006-02-15 04:34:33.000'); INSERT INTO ${NAME} (id,first_name,last_name,last_update) VALUES ('2','NICK','WAHLBERG','2006-02-15 04:34:33.000'); INSERT INTO ${NAME} (id,first_name,last_name,last_update) VALUES ('3','ED','CHASE','2006-02-15 04:34:33.000');The name of this file will be a combination of the name that you provide and
_data, for example:actor_data. -
-
Click OK to apply the changes.
-
To use the new template, right-click a directory in the Files tool window or press Alt+Insert and select the Table template. Specify a name for the table and DataGrip will create both files.
