go-api-generator
What is this?
This project aims to implement a transpilator that receive one pre-defined language, called temporarily being called apiapi , and generate one golang API with the defined specifications.
The API use vestigo as HTTP router and gorm as ORM.
The language
The grammar of the language can be consulted in the grammar file, and one example is presented in example.apiapi file.
Basically, the specification needs to have this struct:
Models {
<Model name> {
<Model field>: <Model type = string, int, float, type>
}
# comment #
}
Routes {
Models.<Model> {
<Route name> {
Method: <Route method = GET, POST, PUT, DELETE>
Path: <Route path>
}
}
}
For now, only 1:n relationships are accepted.
Generating one API
The project can be build using make build (attempt to set the correct paths inside Makefile), and then the API can be generated using:
make generate SPEC=example.apiapi COMPILE_OUTPUT=output GENERATE_OUTPUT=generated_code.go... where names are self-describing.
After generating, you need to put the generated file in goproject folder, named as main.go. Then, you can just run goproject as you normally would do!
Example
One generated API can be consulted in goproject.
Tests
Some tests of the lexer, parser and semantic analyzer can be checked in ./tests.
