tackle is an experimental DSL built as a fork of [cookiecutter](https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter) written in documents such as json, yaml, or toml with primitives of a general purpose programming language including functions, structs, methods, and types with rich control flow. It turns a config file into self documenting CLI in a concise declarative syntax.

Core to the language is the notion of a `hook` which is a [pydantic](https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic) [BaseModel](https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/api/base_model/) under the hood. These hooks can be created, called, or combined in documents and / or python with inheritance and composition. Tackle ships with over 100 native hooks to perform rudimentary tasks from prompting users for CLI inputs, reading / manipulating / writing data to and from files, to rendering templates for code generation / schema translations.

Major syntax changes are coming soon and thus using the language is discouraged without reaching out first via discord or leaving issues in this repo. A formal spec is under active development and will be made public Q3/Q4 2024. A private version of this repo is under active development and will be merged in as soon as the spec becomes public.

**`=< v0.6.0`**

```yaml
greeter(target str = 'world')<-:
print->: Hello {{target}}
```

**`Future`**

```yaml
greeter(target str = 'world')->:
print()<-: Hello {{target}}
```

When the syntax is stable, this project will be formally released. Please reach out via [discord](https://discord.gg/7uVUfUVD7K) if you want to talk directly about it in the meantime.

### Code of Conduct

## Credit

Special thanks to [audreyfeldroy](https://github.com/audreyfeldroy) for creating [cookiecutter](https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter), the basis for this project. Would not have been possible without it and other core dependencies like [pydantic](https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic) and [jinja](https://github.com/pallets/jinja).
