strlang

🏗️ fluent string builder interface for generate code easily with go

strlang is a Go package for building string-based programming languages. It provides a simple way to generate strings of code that can be used in different programming languages.

🛠️ Installation

To use strlang in your Go project, you need to have Go installed on your system. Once you have Go installed, you can use the following command to install the package:

go get -u github.com/ermos/strlang

📚 Examples

Here are some examples of how to use strlang to generate code in different programming languages. If your wanted programming language isn't implemented, you can use directly the default builder.

Javascript

Here is an example of how to use Strlang to generate JavaScript code:

Code

package main

import (
	"github.com/ermos/strlang"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	js := strlang.NewJavascript()

	js.Object("const", "person", func() {
		js.WriteStringln(`name: "John",`)
		js.WriteStringln(`age: 31,`)
		js.WriteStringln(`city: "New York"`)
	})

	js.If("person.age > 18", func() {
		js.WriteStringln(`console.log("John is an adult");`)
	})
	js.Else(func() {
		js.WriteStringln("console.log('John is not an adult');")
	})
	
	fmt.Println(js.String())
}

Output

const person = {
    name: "John",
    age: 31,
    city: "New York"
};

if (person.age > 18) {
    console.log("John is an adult");
} else {
    console.log("John is not an adult");
}

PHP

Here is an example of how to use Strlang to generate PHP code:

Code

package main

import (
	"github.com/ermos/strlang"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	php := strlang.NewPHP("App/Models")

	php.Class("Person", func() {
		php.ClassFunc("public", "__construct", "$name, $age", "", func() {
			php.WriteStringln(`$this->name = $name;`)
			php.WriteStringln(`$this->age = $age;`)
		})
	})

	fmt.Println(php.String())
}

Output

<?php

namespace MyNamespace;

class Person {
    public function __construct($name, $age) {
        $this->name = $name;
        $this->age = $age;
    }
}

💡 Usage

strlang provides a set of builders for each programming language. Each builder has methods that allow you to build code constructs in that language. You can use the New method of your wanted language (example for javascript: NewJavascript()) functions to create instances of the corresponding builders. Once you have a builder instance, you can use its methods to build code constructs.

For more information about the available methods and how to use them, please refer to the package documentation.
