Flexible codegen in go

Moz

Moz exists has a library to provide a solid foundation for code generation by combining functional composition and Go ast for flexible content creation.

Install

go get -u github.com/influx6/moz

Introduction

Moz is a code generator which builds around the concepts of pluggable io.WriteTo elements that allow a elegant but capable system for generating code programmatically.

It uses functional compositions to define code structures that connect to create contents and using the Go ast parser, generates elegant structures for easier interaction with source files.

Features

• Basic Programming structures
• Simple Coding Blocks
• Go text/template support
• Annotation code generation

Projects Using Moz

• Gu
• Dime

Code Generation with Moz

Moz is intended to be very barebones and minimal, it focuses around providing very basic structures, that allows the most flexibility in how you generate new content.

It provides two packages that are the center of it's system:

Gen

Gen provides compositional structures for creating content with functions.

Generate Go struct using Gen

import "github.com/influx6/moz/gen"

floppy := gen.Struct(
		gen.Name("Floppy"),
		gen.Commentary(
			gen.Text("Floppy provides a basic function."),
			gen.Text("Demonstration of using floppy API."),
		),
		gen.Annotations(
			"Flipo",
			"API",
		),
		gen.Field(
			gen.Name("Name"),
			gen.Type("string"),
			gen.Tag("json", "name"),
		),
)

var source bytes.Buffer

floppy.WriteTo(&source) /*
// Floppy provides a basic function.
//
// Demonstration of using floppy API.
//
//
//@Flipo
//@API
type Floppy struct {

    Name string `json:"name"`

}
*/
