Settings

There are two kinds of arguments: options and kinds of languages variables settings. options is the functional setting, Default is the default language variables settings. Language variables setting will cover that in Default.

Open Preferences => Package Settings => File Header => Settings - Default for more details.

Template

FileHeader use Jinja2 template, find out how to use it here.

The template is made up of header and body. You also can write you own templates. Take the Python template header Python.tmpl for example.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# @Author: {{author}}
# @Date:   {{create_time}}
# @Last modified by:   {{last_modified_by}}
# @Last Modified time: {{last_modified_time}}

{{ }} is variable, you can set it in setting files. create_time will be set when you create a new file using FileHeader, last_modified_time and last_modified_by will be update every time you save your file.

You can define your functions and classes or other contents in your body file. Also take Python template body for example.

class MyClass(object):
    pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    pass

FAQ

  • How to customize my headers?

    Set custom_template_header_path to your path of customized header in user-settings, for example, ~/header/

    NOTE: DO NOT modify directly that in Packages/FileHeader

  • What if FileHeader conflicts with other file template plugin?

    For example, FileHeader and Javatar conflicts in files with extension .java.

    The solution is, open any file with extension .java in sublime text, and open Preferences ==> Settings - More ==> Syntax Specific - User, then add "enable_add_template_to_empty_file": false.

  • What if key-map of FileHeader conflicts with others?

    Just change that of FileHeader or others.
