BullsEye Experimentation

Summary

Experiment with BullsEye for building command-driven tooling (build-systems).

Usage

Experimenting with using BullsEye in a dotnet project. BullsEye doesn't handle parsing of command line arguments, instead recommends using a tool for parsing them.

var app = new CommandLineApplication(throwOnUnexpectedArg: false);
var foo = app.Option<string>("--foo", "foo", CommandOptionType.SingleValue);

BullsEye can then be used to built a higher level build system for languages (terraform, docker, etc).

Notes

• Creates common build-systems for templates (terraform-module, docker image)
• Auto-generate the console apps (BullsEye, CommandLineApplication) from a definition
• Define the system, then generate interfaces (service, cli, client, etc)
