File template variables
A file template can contain variables, which are replaced by their values when the template is applied. A variable is a string that starts with a dollar sign $ followed by the variable name. The variable name may optionally be enclosed in curly braces. For example: $MyVariable and ${MyVariable} are different notations of the same variable.
Predefined template variables
The following predefined variables can be used in file templates:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
${DATE} | Current system date |
${DAY} | Current day of the month |
${DS} | Dollar sign $. This variable is used to escape the dollar character, so that it is not treated as a prefix of a template variable. |
${FILE_NAME} | Name of the new file |
${HOUR} | Current hour |
${MINUTE} | Current minute |
${SECOND} | Current second |
${MONTH} | Current month |
${MONTH_NAME_FULL} | Full name of the current month (January, February, and so on) |
${MONTH_NAME_SHORT} | First three letters of the current month name (Jan, Feb, and so on) |
${NAME} | Name of the new entity (file, class, interface, and so on) |
${ORGANIZATION_NAME} | Name of your organization specified in the project settings |
${PRODUCT_NAME} | Name of the IDE (for example, DataGrip) |
${PROJECT_NAME} | Name of the current project |
${TIME} | Current system time |
${USER} | Login name of the current user |
${YEAR} | Current year |
