Configen

Preprocess your own configs or sources and translate them to target text or code

Simple

Configen use simple syntax. It's looks like a bash or other shell scripts, but more predictable and simple exactly for preprocessing.

For example, you need to out a string, so just write it:

"My awesome string
"New line

There is no trailing ", so new line will be added automatically

Functions

Need functions and variables? Just use it:

write | arg1 arg2 {
	"I wrote $arg1 $arg2
}

write hello, world

Code above will produce a string I wrote hello, world. Spaces is delimeter for arguments. To pass arguments with spaces just use single or double qoutes

Custom syntax

Use regular expressions to provide your intuitive syntax

site |~ (https?)://([^/]*)(/.*) {
	"Protocol: $1
	"Host: $2
	"Path: $3
}

site http://example.com/

Requirements

Developed on gcc 5.4 using C++14. Any compiler with C++14 standart support should work.
Configen uses standart library only.

Build

To build configen clone repository then use this commands in terminal:

cd configen
mkdir Release
cd Release
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make

To speed up the build process use make -j4, where 4 - your CPU cores count.
