gen

Readme for Codegen

This internal module contains code generation for producing a few repetitive constructs, namely:

• The switch statement that handles the request dispatch
• The hook function types and the methods on the Hook struct

To invoke the code generation:

go generate ./...

Development

• request_handler.go.tmpl generates server/request_handler.go, and
• hooks.go.tmpl generates server/hooks.go

Inside of data.go there is a struct with the inputs to both templates.

Note that the driver in main.go generates code and also pipes it through goimports for formatting and imports cleanup.
