Hades project initializer

The Hades project initializer pretty much does what the name implies. It initializes a Hades project, lets you choose a project template and lets you add packages through a CLI.

Example

Create without organization name

Initialize the project

$ hades new demoproject demo

The project structure will look like this

demo/ - Working name of the project
 project.json - Contains the project configuration, initial data (config, connection keys, etc...) and meta-data of libraries installed via Hermes.
 libs/ - Source files of libraries
 src/ - Upper most directory for source files
  demoproject/ - Project name
    main.hd - Entrypoint

Create with organization name

Initialize the project

$ hades new demoproject.example.org demo

The project structure will look like this

demo/ - Working name of the project
 project.json - Contains the project configuration, initial data (config, connection keys, etc...) and meta-data of libraries installed via Hermes.
 libs/ - Source files of libraries
 src/ - Upper most directory for source files
  org/ - Organization tld
   example/ - Organization name
    demoproject/ - Project name
      main.hd - Entrypoint

Hermes

Hermes is the Hades package manager. Similar to maven or nuget, Hermes has a package file which contains a list of dependencies. Hermes doesn't have its own dedicated package server, but uses Github (if not specified otherwise) as a package server instead. The version of a package specified in the project.json file translates to the git branch.

Examples

Add a package to your Hades project

$ hermes add hades/xml master

project.json

A project.json file defines a Hades project. The project.json file contains meta-data of all packages installed through Hermes, initial data (like configuration or connection keys), information about the project itself and even a basic pipeline to execute commands/scripts before and after the execution of a Hades project.

{
  "name" : "demoproject", // name of the project
  "version" : "0.1", // version of the project
  
  "config" : { // initial config/connectionkeys of the project
    "motd" : "Hello world",
    "logo" : "resources/logo.png",
    "default-lang" : "en-US",
    "db1" : "Server=localhost;Database=demo;User Id=demo;Password=myPassword;"
  },
  
  "before-exec" : [ // will be executed before the project starts up
    {
      "execute" : "script/bash",
      "target" : "install.sh"
    },
    {
      "execute" : "command",
      "target" : "kill $(lsof -t -i:8080)"
    }
  ],
  
  "after-exec" : [ // will be executed after the project has been killed
    {
      "execute" : "script/hades",
      "target" : "clean.hd"
    }
  ],
  
  "dependencies" : [ // dependencies installed via Hermes
    {
      "name" : "hades/web",
      "version" : "3.2.4",
      "from" : "github.com"
    },
    {
      "name" : "hades/json",
      "version" : "master",
      "from" : "github.com"
    },
    {
      "name" : "hades/xml",
      "version" : "master",
      "from" : "github.com"
    }
  ]
}
