Megumax is a simple CLI tool for quickly generating a template project templatew ith simple search and replace functionality.
The original intention for this program is for developing minecraft datapack but the program should work anywhere else as well.
Megumax work via a config file called megu.toml which look something like this:
```toml [build] output = "path/to/output/directory" src = "path/to/src/directory"
[keys] foo = "Kore wa requiem da" bar = "42" ```
And then you can run the program inside the directory this config file is in with megu command. (No need for any argument)
This program will then recursively find all text files and replace all of {{key}} instances with the value specified in the config file. (Note: key is a placeholder value, in the example above it will be {{foo}} and {{bar}}) and then it will output all of that into the output directory specified in the config file.
Megumax will also respect .gitignore file and hidden files as well.
The advantage of this tool is that it doesn't replace the source code but rather, output it into different directory.
```toml [build] output = "..." # Specify the output directory, Required. src = "..." # Specify the source directory, Optional, will use current directory if not specified.
[keys] # List of template keys keyname1 = "somevalue1" keyname2 = "somevalue2" keyname3 = "somevalue3" ```
When working with custom model data you need to specify an integer value for each model in your resourcepack. This can become unmaintainable when working with models up to 100+. Megumax would help this by allowing you to specify a string value for each model instead and then compile it back into integers when needed.
There's probably already existing tool for this but why waste time googling for 3 seconds when you can spend your afternoon developing this instead? /s
cargo install megumax (make sure you've restart your terminal first)megu.toml file.megu command inside the directory megu.toml file is in.
