mill-hepek

An Mill plugin for writing Scala objects to files.
See also hepek, static content generator that builds upon this plugin.

Installation

Add the following to your build.sc:

import $ivy.`ba.sake::mill-hepek::0.0.2`
import mill._
import mill.scalalib._
import ba.sake.millhepek.MillHepekModule

object site extends MillHepekModule with ScalaModule {
  def scalaVersion = ...
}

Usage

The main task of mill-hepek is hepek.
When executed, it will:

copy all files from src/resources/public to hepek_output folder
write all object .. extends Renderable from the files package to hepek_output folder
write accessors for src/resources/public files, so you don't have to type it, or make mistakes

Minimal example:

package files // mandatory !!

import java.nio.file.Paths
import ba.sake.hepek.core.Renderable

object RenderMe extends Renderable {

  // access `src/resources/public` files through autogenerated files.<TAB>
  override def render =
    "Some text" // arbitrary Scala code
  
  override def relPath = 
    Paths.get("renderme.txt")
}

When you run ./mill site.hepek, you'll find the site/hepek_output/renderme.txt file,
with text Some text.

Fun fact

I think that this is the first project that tried this approach, namely, using first-class Scala objects for this kind of stuff.
Correct me if I'm wrong... ^_^
