# Cable
[![readme style: standard][readme style standard badge]][standard readme]
> Cable: CMake Bootstrap Library
Cable is a set of CMake modules and scripts containing common patterns used
in CMake-based C++ projects. The design goal is to be pragmatic rather than
generic so the number of provided options is minimal. The Cable modules are
independent and it is easy to use them individually.

## Install
The suggested Cable location is `cmake/cable` relative to your project root directory.
### With cable.cmake script
Copy [cable.cmake](cable.cmake) script to your project.
Then use it to download individual Cable CMake modules.
```bash
./cable.cmake install CableBuildType
```
### As git subtree
Adding a dependency project as a [git subtree] is just a copy of the source code
done in a bit more systematic way.
If you are not familiar with managing dependencies with git subtree read the
[Git subtree: the alternative to Git submodule][git subtree tutorial].
#### To install
```sh
git remote add cable https://github.com/ethereum/cable
git subtree add --prefix cmake/cable cable master --squash
```
#### To update
```sh
git subtree pull --prefix cmake/cable cable master --squash
```
### As git submodule
Include the Cable library as [git submodule] in your project.
```sh
git submodule add https://github.com/ethereum/cable cmake/cable
```
## Usage
Cable contains the `bootstrap.cmake` file that initializes the library.
Start by including this file in your main `CMakeLists.txt` from the Cable
submodule/subtree or any other location. The `bootstrap.cmake` must be included
before the `project()` command. After that, you can include and use other
Cable modules.
### Example
```cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
include(cmake/cable/bootstrap.cmake)
include(CableBuildType)
project(tothemoon)
cable_set_build_type(DEFAULT RelWithDebInfo CONFIGURATION_TYPES Debug Release RelWithDebInfo)
```
