Usage

$ reframe [SOURCE]

Example

$ reframe anvie/basic-rust

anvie/basic-rust is refering to my github repo: basic-rust.rf.

Build Source

To create Reframe source is super duper easy, all you needs is write Reframe.toml at the root project dir, example:

[project]
name = "Hello World"
version = "1.0"

[[param]]
with_serde = { ask = "Dengan serde?", default = false }

[[param]]
serde_version = { ask = "Versi serde?", default = "1.0", if="with_serde" }

[[param]]
# without default value means required
author_name = { ask = "Author name?" }

[[param]]
author_email = { ask = "Author email?" }

Every string type param will have case variants automagically, eg: author_name will have: author_name_lowercase, author_name_snake_case, author_name_kebab_case.

So when you need to get project name with snake case, write: $name_snake_case$.

When you done, you can test using reframe [YOUR-WORKING-TEMPLATE-DIR], if all is ok, push the project to your github repo with additional postfix .rf at the project name, eg: if your repo name is unicorn then you must push with name unicorn.rf, and finally you can use anywhere by simply typing:

$ reframe [MY-GITHUB-USERNAME]/[MY-TEMPLATE]

Example:

$ reframe agus/unicorn

For detail usage please check Reframe Documentation.
