Copy all files but change the name of some automatically in yeoman

Question

I am trying to create a yeoman generator where I have to copy from templatePath to destinationPath some files and folders, but I would want to have some of this files with a variable that yeoman could change by one of the user's inputs.

like: "<%=name%>-plugin.php" -> "hello-plugin.php"

I saw some references that this can be done but I can't find how.

I am doing right now:

//Copy the configuration files
    app: function () {
      this.fs.copyTpl(
        this.templatePath('**'),
        this.destinationPath(), 
        {
          name: this.props.pluginName,
          name_function: this.props.pluginName.replace('-', '_'),
          name_class: this.props.className,
          description: this.props.pluginDescription
        }
      );
    }

I thought that with that code my <%=name%> would magically changed on copyTpl but it doesn't work

This is not possible anymore. The feature was bloated and was removed at some point in 2015.

For now, just rename the file:

this.fs.copy('name.js', 'new-name.js')
