About

Gogen aims to create resourceful generator ecosystem for the go language. This means, generators in gogen can depend on each other, leading to more powerful hierarchical approach to code generation.

What does Resourceful mean?

Resourceful means, that generators can provide the results based on the context, given by the resources they have. What more, they can generate resources, and provide them to other generators.

Simple example: Let's say we want to generate DataAccess for two of our entities, which are in M:N relationship. Resources allow generators to first generate three entities (because of the connection entity) and then tell other generators the third entity was created. Thanks to this, the documentation generator knows, that there are three entities, not only two, so it can generate the contents correcly.
