Document Metaprogrammer

A small document meta-programming app in node.

Setup

Install:

npm i -g document-metaprogrammer

Run:

document-metaprogrammer

This will listen to .meta.* files below your working directory and continuously process them.

Example

The basic idea is:

• Define a .meta.* file:

example-0.meta.py

# < @number=[3,4,5]
def multiply_by_number(value):
    return number * value

# >

• Let the document-metaprogrammer run! This should continuously build the finished file in the background.

• Expected output is:

example-0.py

def multiply_by_3(value):
    return 3 * value

def multiply_by_4(value):
    return 4 * value

def multiply_by_5(value):
    return 5 * value

Another example:

example-1.meta.js

// < @value=[foo, bar, baz] 
const say_value = () => {
    console.log('value')
}

// >
module.exports = {
// < @value=[foo, bar, baz]
    say_value,
// >
}

example-1.js

const say_foo = () => {
    console.log('foo')
}

const say_bar = () => {
    console.log('bar')
}

const say_baz = () => {
    console.log('baz')
}

module.exports = {
    say_foo,
    say_bar,
    say_baz,
}
