Code generator to create Zenkit client library in Rust, based on lists and fields in user workspace. Like ORM for Zenkit.

Greatly simplifies writing reliable and performant Rust clients for Zenkit - can substantially reduce (by more than 50%) the amount of code required to interact with Zenkit, and improves code reliability by leveraging Rust's compile-time syntax and type validation to ensure type-safe use of business objects.

AFAIK, this is the only Zenkit client library that can detect schema-related code bugs at compile time, rather than at runtime. If Zenkit workspace "schema" changes, such as, by changing the name of a field, or changing a field type from integer to text, running zk-codegen and recompiling the client app will cause the compiler to flag any places where the app has a dependency on the old field definition.

Usage

Install with cargo install zk-codegen

Set the environment variable ZENKIT_API_TOKEN to your api token, which you can obtain from your account profile on zenkit.com.

```sh

Generate source code

Parameters are -o output_dir (will be created)

-w workspace_name

zk-codegen -o my-lib -w "My Workspace"

Cargo.toml is generated with the ".sample" suffix

so that regenerating code doesn't overwrite any edits to Cargo.toml.

cp Cargo.toml.sample Cargo.toml

Compile your new library!

cargo build ```

If you get any errors during code generation or compilation, it's a bug. Please file a github issue.

Examples

There are some sample programs in the examples dir that use some of the Zenkit workspace templates.
