Developer Documentation

Welcome to the CyanPrint developer documentation. Learn how to extend CyanPrint by creating custom artifacts.

What You Can Build

CyanPrint has four extensible components called artifacts:

Artifact	Purpose
Templates	Define questions and file processing rules
Processors	Transform files (templating, syntax)
Resolvers	Resolve file conflicts from layered templates
Plugins	Post-processing (run commands, file operations)
