v0.6.7…v0.6.8 diff on GitHub

v0.6.7

hof create

Introduces hof create to as a “npm create-react-app” for anything. Easy bootstrap or add files to an existing project from any remote repository.

essentially a generator with Create field to get inputs from user.
configure an interactive prompt and input schema, user can also use flags to fill prompt
adds a new hof create <repo> which fetches and prompts user for starting input
adds Create schema and includes in generators
add schema and code for implementing an input prompt
works with remote repo, and also locally for directories
makes it easy for you to provide one-line setup instructions for your own generators

To learn more about hof create, see docs/getting-started/create.

breaking changes:

Hof’s indent template helper was updated to mimic the behavior of helm’s. This required swapping the order of arguments.

You should now use {{ indent <string|int> <content> }}

other changes

remove modder name from mod cache, flattening because they are always a git repo at a tag
use cache dir for remote repositories
enable symlinks for local, replaced, cue dependencies
remove old or unused code
fix and enable more formatters
improve docker images
improve tests & CI
several bug fixes and edge case handling

v0.6.6…v0.6.7 diff on GitHub

v0.6.6

Fixes several bugs and re-adds telemetry with proper user controls.

v0.6.5…v0.6.6 diff on GitHub

v0.6.5

hof fmt

Introduces hof fmt to format code, in a beta state

used during code gen, because we need this for diff3 correctness
subcommand for formatting arbitrary files and managing containers
adds prettier and black formatters to expand languages

other changes

update a number of version used during init of various things (mods & gens)
lookup template helper now supports OpenAPI refs #/path/to/thing
fix template path resolving when in gen is run in a subdir
fixes issue when same outdir is used, with the same gen, from different locations
shadow dir moved to be next to cue.mod, so that one can gen from any directory
shadow dir updated to reflect path from CUE mod root output, use this as the path
Static Files now support diff3 for user additions

v0.6.4…v0.6.5 diff on GitHub

v0.6.4

bugfix and cleanup

The and template helper was custom, wrong, and needed to be removed. This is the primary reason for the release.
Removed many template helpers which overrode or duplicated Go’s, or did not make sense or seemed unusual.
Add newline when writing generator outputs, ending on a curly brace seemed odd.
Update almost all deps, remove some others, need Go 1.17 to go out of fashion before rest can be… generics and breaking changes in deps…

v0.6.3…v0.6.4 diff on GitHub

v0.6.3

hof gen ad-hoc mode

Adds flags to hof gen to support ad-hoc code gen, so you do not need to setup a generator to use.

--template/-T flag to specify templates, input data, schemas, and output files
--partial/-P flag to support ad-hoc partial templates
--watch/-w flag to support watching globs and regenerating (also works for generators)
--as-module flag turns your other flags into a reusable and sharable generator module
--init flag bootstraps a new modular generator in the current directory

The -T flag has a flexible format so you can supply multiple templates and control the data. It lets you specify the mapping from template to input & schema, to output filepath.

hof gen data.cue -T template.txt
hof gen data.yaml schema.cue -T template.txt > output.txt

See the following to learn more

hof gen -h
getting-started/code-generation

other changes

added dict to template helpers to create maps, useful for passing more than one arg to a partial template
added pascal template helper for string casing
load data with CUE code, more inline with cue
(bug) remove some shell completion hacks
more tests, bugfixes, and dep updates
some small changes to the datamodel schema, namely attribute change to prep for enhancemnts
