Froglet - Lightweight textual artifact generation environment

Latest version 0.4

froglet is a command line program that provides an interactive workflow for GSL. GSL is a command line program developed by Matrix and designed to construct textual artfacts. Note that you will have to install gsl on your computer before using froglet. You can learn more about GSL https://github.com/imatix/gsl

The advantage of Froglet

froglet provides an incremental way to develop GSL templates and models. The target construct can be developed gradually. GSL templates can be written in strategies. For examples, independent generation task per template file or complex generation task that use multiple template files. Using the interactive CLI of froglet will allow user to run generation tasks with flexibility. froglet uses the advantages of gsl which is fast and small, so froglet is a lightweight textual artifact generation environment

Usage Design

1. Only work with the following directory structure.

├── <UserProject>
│   ├── templates/*.gsl   # GSL template files
│   ├── models/*.xml      # GSL XML-based model files

2. Run froglet at the root of <UserProject> directory
3. Each program run, froglet asks user to select one template file (.gsl) and one model file (.xml) from an interactive list

froglet can be installed using brew at this time and tested on MacOS.
