Template Repository Guide

Mig compile repository template base on Go Text Template Library with <% %> delimeter. Each repository must contain mig.json configuration file in th root of repository.

NOTE: You can use user entered app name with .name variable or __name__ placeholder in your template syntax.

NOTE: You can use a unique project key with .key variable or __key__ placeholder. Each time you create new project mig generate new key for your project.

Extra Template Functions

You can use follwing helper functions in your template syntax:

iif

Return quick answer base on condition.

Your gender is: <% iif .isMale "Male" "Female" %>

oneOf

Check if value contains

OK: <% oneOf .name "John|Jack" %>

uuid

const identifier = "<% uuid %>";

key32

Generate 32-character unique string key.

const accessKey = "<% key32 %>";

key64

Generate 64-character unique string key.

const accessKey = "<% key64 %>";

key96

const accessKey = "<% key96 %>";

key128

const accessKey = "<% key128 %>";

Extra Template Signs

Sometimes you want to comment code in template by default and compiled to code under some conditions.

• // <% This line translated to <% on compile time. You could use template sign with comment.
• //- This comment sign remove from start of line on compile time.
• "-<% Unquote value of expression on compile time.
• %>-" Unquote value of expression on compile time.

// Create new instance of <% .appName %>
var app = new App("__APP__");

// This code only uncommented if web parameters equal y
// <% if eq .web "y" %>
//- var client = new HttpClient();
//- client.initialize();
//- app.Client = client;
// <% end %>
