Code Kata Generator Tool

Warning: Work in Progress

This tool doesn't work. At all. So don't use it right now.

This is a personal tool I am writting in order to help do daily katas without all the boilerplate work. Eventually, I want to have a repo

Usage

kata g ruby -d integer_stack -f stack -t rspec -s codeeval

Generate

kata g
kata generate

Options

Language

Required - Default set in lib/settings.json

kata g <language>
kata g --lang <language>

The lanaguage in which you are generating code for

Directory Name

Required

-d [DIRECTORY_NAME]
--dir [DIRECTORY_NAME]

What you want to name your directory.

Default: [language_name]_[time]

File

Optional - default is the same as Directory Name

-f [FILE_NAME]
--file [FILE_NAME]

Testing Framework

Optional - default is decided when official language support is added

-t [TESTING_FRAMEWORK]
--test [TESTING_FRAMEWORK]

If you add you own lanaguage, you must set the testing framework and testing command in lib/settings.json

Source Citation

Optional - Default is nil

-s [SOURCE]
--src [SOURCE]

This credits the source and builds a link to that challenge online on the specific kata readme

FAQ

Why are you writing this in Ruby?

In all honesty, this would probably be much better off written in bash or something lower level. Especially since this is basically a glorified code generator and process starter.

I am comfortable in Ruby though, and until more people than me use it, I'll stick to Ruby.

Why are there FAQs when no one even knows about this right now?

I'll be asking the questions around here! (burn out from wordpress $h*t)
