💡 Idea

A meta language to express and transform your ideas to reality. It all starts with an idea...

Usage

This is an example idea schema.

//my.idea
model Product @label("Product" "Products") @suggested("[name]") @icon("gift") {
  name        String   @label("Name") 
                       @field.text
                       @is.required("Name is required")
                       @list.detail @view.text

  image       String   @label("Image") 
                       @field.image

"Ideas are worthless without execution" - Many People

To transform an idea, you need to plugin a transformer like the following example.

//my.idea
plugin "@ossph/idea-typescript" {
  ts true
  output "./src/types.ts"
}
// ... your idea ...
// model Product ...

You can use other ideas, just import them like the following example.

//my.idea
use "./another.idea"
// ... your idea ...
// model Product ...

To execute an idea, you just need to run the following command.

$ npx idea -i my.idea
