CL-Project - Generate modern project skeletons

Usage

Install roswell (if you haven't already)

• Mac/Linux/WSL Install homebrew

$ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
$ brew install roswell

• Windows Install scoop

> Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
> iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex
> scoop install roswell

(More information is available in Roswell's installation instructions, but this should work for most use cases)

Install cl-project & make an app

$ ros install Pinjontall94/cl-project
$ ros exec make-project my-app --name my-app \
--description "A test app" \
--author "Sam Johnson (she/her)" \
--email "[email protected]" \
--license AGPLv3+ \
--depends-on alexandria parenscript cl-who hunchentoot

Run your app on the command line...

$ cd my-app
$ chmod +x roswell/my-app.ros
$ sh roswell/my-app.ros

...or compile it to a native binary!

$ cd my-app
$ ros build roswell/my-app.ros # tip: add "--disable-compression" at the end of this line for even faster startup times!
$ roswell/my-app

What's the difference from other generators?

1. Flexible templates

CL-Project supports more parameters to embed, by using CL-EMB to represent the skeleton files (See "cl-project/skeleton/").

2. One package per file style (Modern)

A modern CL project should be in accordance with some rules. For instance, one file must have one package in it.

3. Recommends unit testing

Modern projects should have some unit tests. CL-Project generates a system for unit testing, so you can begin writing unit tests as soon as the project is generated.

Parameters
