Projectionist in Go

A commandline utility that interprets .projections.json files.

These files are used by vim-projectionist, but as the author says: there's nothing Vim-specific about the configuration. Once completed, this tool will allow you to more easily integrate projections into your non-Vim text editor.

I've chosen to write this utility in Go because I've never written Go before. If you're interested in using Projectionist right now, this is not the program for you. I recommend checking out vim-projectionist if you're a Vim user, or projectionist if you're not a Vim user.

Usage

I expect the commandline interface to be used like this:

projectionist <command> [--config <projections.json>] <current-file>

Where --config can be inferred based on the $PWD.

Here's a more concrete example:

$ projectionist alternate app/models/book.rb
# returns: test/models/book_test.rb

Dependencies

Once this software has any working functionality I will provide a binary.

Building

To build this software from source, you'll need:

Go 1.18+
Make*

* Recommended, but not required.

I recommend using Make to build from source:

$ make build

Once run, the binary will be built to build/projectionist.

Development and testing

To develop and run tests against the source code you'll also need:

shelltestrunner 1.9+

If you have all of the dependencies installed, you can use the Make to run tests:

$ make test

Roadmap

I have made no progress so far. I have one priority feature I'd like to implement so I can start using this tool day-to-day:
