What’s in a Template

A Leiningen template is a collection of assets that are used to generate a particular project. The templates use the Stencil library to inject dynamic content, such as the name of the project, into the asset files when they’re rendered.^[103]

We’ll take a look at a template project called compojure-template to see how it works.^[104]

Since templates are Leiningen projects, they each contain a project.clj file.
