Important: Will be porting to scalameta/scalagen soon (tm)
Incredibly WIP/Experimental, everything is in a state of flux until scalameta/paradise hits 3.0.0. api's can change/dissapear at a moments notice
"Elysium - any place or state of perfect happiness; paradise."
Elysium has 3 goals.
- Make macro creation as simple as possible
- Teach people how to write macros
- Have a huge number of useful macros on hand for people to use
- In core, Renamed and Decorator have examples of using arguments in macro
- In misc, there is a simple
I have also detailed what kind of dependency is required. Mixed means can be either depending on how you use it
- [Runtime] all - Aggregation of all projects
- [Compile] core - The main things people will want when creating their own macros or using this library
- [Runtime] debug - Macros for debugging (printing object state etc)
- [Runtime] profile - Macros for profiling (accumulating statistics etc)
- [Compile] log - Macros for generating loggers (will possibly use slf4j)
- [Compile] gen - Macro/Inline generation tooling. This would be in core but has to be compiled seperately
- [Mixed] manipulate - impicit classes to manipulate meta trees, The semantic api may replace some of this.
- [Mixed] validate - things for improving the validation and error messages for macros
- [Compile] misc - generic stuff, more for teaching purposes then anything else, there's usually a better way
Ordered by importance will tick when they are complete in scala meta.
Note: Im mainly refraining from working only the macro heavy parts of the project at the moment because once I can parse/generate inline macros I will be rewriting all existing macros.
- Argument Macros
- Inline Generation (Macros generating macros)
- Macro Testing framework
- Semantic API
- Multiple Annotations
- Def Macros
Every module has an 'module_tests project'.
This is because we cannot test usages of the annotations in all cases without 3 compilation stages (including test:compile)
So to make a convention and stick with it...
- a/src/main - Macro code etc.
- a/src/test - Tests of macro compilation and structure output (eventually)
- a_test/src/main - Objects that are required in the test code that need to be expanded (eg things annotated with macros)
- a_test/src/test - General use case testing of macros.
