I have a multi-file template that generates an interface and an implementation. I would like to update the IoC mappings in my solution, but this doesn't require a new file; it requires a snippet of code added to an existing file.
Is it possible to do a partial update of this kind?
So, for example, I'd reference the existing file, which contains the IoC mappings, and a code region to append some code to.
No, ReSharper's live templates don't work like this - they generate code rather than modify it. If the whole file is generated, delete it and regenerate it.

I am currently using Bruno Paz's extension File Templates to create some file templates...lol. The issue is I am having trouble locating where the templates are stored once they are created. I want to find where and how they are stored so I can hard code some templates in. That way users of my version of the extension will have premade templates they can immediately access instead of having to create them first. The readme indicates that the Templates should be stored as follows for windows:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\FileTemplates
However, that path does not exist for me. The readme also states the following (I could use this a possible work around):
However, you can change the default location by adding the following to your user or workspace settings:
"fileTemplates.templates_dir": "path/to/my/templates"
However, Im unaware of what workspace settings are in VS Code.
I am starting a new project and it will require the creation of many C++ classes. In order to keep the project organized I created coded standards that will keep methods and member variables organized using regions, nothing too complex. However, I do not want to have to modify every new class I make adding the separators(regions) by hand or have to copy paste from another file.
In unity it is possible to modify the template used in the creation of a new script, but i am having trouble finding the same information for the Unreal Engine. I am not using source and if it is required to do so I will probably just copy paste it for every class.
I tried searching online for information on the subject, but the results were less than useful.
You can modify, create, and delete templates in Unreal Engine. Since you are not using Unreal Engine source, the templates are all located in the C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_{version}\Templates directory. If you are using Unreal Engine source, then the location will instead be {engine-location}\Templates. In these directories, you can modify the configs, the content, and the source code of each template. And of course, you can create new templates and delete existing ones.
If you do create a new template, then make sure that you do the following steps:
Move the project that you want to make a template out of to one of the Templates folders mentioned above depending on the verison of Unreal Engine you have (source vs non-source).
Update the ProjectName variable in your template's Config\DefaultGame.ini file.
Copy any of the existing templates' Config\TemplateDefs.ini file to your template's Config folder.
Modify the copied TemplateDefs.ini file, specifically the LocalizedDisplayNames and LocalizedDescriptions variables. These are the name and description of your template that show when the template is selected while trying to make a new project in Unreal Engine. Note that you may have to modify the other parts of the TemplateDefs.ini file depending on your project/template.
Lastly, add pictures in your new template's Media folder. Add one picture named {new-template-name}.png, which will be the icon of the template and another picture named {new-template-name}_Preview.png, which will be be the preview of the template that appears alongside the name and description after one clicks on the template icon while trying to make a new project.

I am interested in creating a config.cfc which I want to use in differenct components.
in PHP one can create a config.php file which simply return an array. and in other php files this can be included like
use config.php
Can I simple include a .cfm file in any .cfc component? of a config.cfc which simply returns a STRUCT?
I'm not sure how to answer your question because I don't fully understand what you're trying to accomplish. In one sentence you need to return an array and in another sentence you need to return a struct. If you're looking to create a config.cfc your method(s) can return either datatype (array or struct).
To answer your other question, yes you can include a .cfm file within a .cfc. I've done it in the past, although it's not best practice.
What I would suggest instead, in your config.cfc, create any needed methods then use CreateObject() in your calling .cfm or .cfc for usage.
I have seen several projects that use a .cfm file as a config file and it sets a Coldfusion struct variable with setting values. Using cfinclude will then load the file and set a config variable (usually a struct). It could just as easily set an array although I think structs would be more flexible. There is usually logic in the code to cfinclude the config.cfm file once and store the setting in the application scope.
Another option is to use a .json file that contains the same kind of thing but in JSON format. Here's an example of an open source project that does that:
https://github.com/tonyjunkes/CFFormProtect-Revamp/blob/master/cfformprotect/config.json
The controlling code reads the file and uses deserializeJSON() to convert it to a ColdFusion struct. Since it is open source you could download this project and see exactly how it is working.
Yes, you can cfinclude a .cfm from a .cfc file.
I created a custom template file and I can use it from the "File"->"New..." menu option.
But I was expecting to see it also when creating a new scratch file using
"File"->"New Scratch File"
Is this even possible?
(I am using PyCharm 2017.1.2)
I think it's not possible: each time you create a scratch file, it's created from scratch.
Though, what's possible in order to simplify your life, is using Live Templates: you can create your own abbreviation, which can be expanded automatically to some portion of code. There are many examples in Settings -> Editor -> Live Templates so you can use them as an example.
I have a multi file template in resharper and I can use $NAME$ macro to get the name of the original file to use to name the other files in the template. But I also want to use the $NAME$ of the original file in the content of the other file template.
Is this possible? I can't see a macro which seems suitable for the internal variables as onlt the Current File Name seems available.
Anyone know if this is possible or how I might workaround this?
As a workaround, you may create a parameter $FILENAME$ (macro "Current file name without extension") in the first file e.g. in the comments, like:
class Foo
{
//$FILENAME$
}
Then you may call this parameter in other files of the multifile template - this parameter will contain the name of the first file since the first file will be generated before other ones.
Unfortunately, there isn't a macro that will give you this. I've added a feature request that you can vote on and track (and more specific detail as to what your requirements are would be useful) - http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RSRP-415055
It is possible to write your own macros as part of a plugin, but there isn't a sure-fire way of getting the name of the first document in the created file set. The IHotspotSessionContext instance that is passed to the macro via IHotspotSession.Context property includes an enumerable of IDocument, from which you can get IDocument.Moniker, which will be the full path for file based documents. However, there's no guarantee of the order of the enumerable - it's backed by a hashset. You might be able to rely on implementation details (small set, no removes) to be able to use the first document as the original, but there is really no guarantee of this.
