Templates is the worst approach to code generation IMO. Take a look how they do this in protoc-gen-go: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf-go/blob/b92717ecb630d4a4824b372bf98c729d87311a4d/cmd/protoc-gen-go/internal_gengo/main.go#L83
I am using very similar approach, albeit I prefer format lines, it looks like: [image: Screenshot from 2021-09-19 04-22-26.png] Templates may be OK only in trivial cases. Once you need something less trivial it is getting harder and harder to reason how the final code will look like with them and you will end up with bunch of hard to manage templates. Unlike it, line-by-line code generation keep staying close to the final code. вторник, 7 сентября 2021 г. в 22:53:51 UTC+3, amitl...@gmail.com: > > Hi gophers, > I wrote https://github.com/fluhus/goat for generating go code in my > projects.
