I see what you’re and yes, good point. That would be tricky to get right there is always the chance of referencing a part of the file that has been removed (when it comes to composing a third party’s code).
I’m not super worried about this just yet as I don’t even know how much use this is going to get and people can just share certain actions and tweak them. But I’ll keep this in mind when expanding the DSL.
I’m thinking something along the lines of (but by no means exactly like):
edit "lib/#{@target}_web/router.ex", fn contents ->
contents
|> insert_after_line_containing "PageController" do
live "/", HomeLive, :index
end
|> remove_line_containing("PageController")
end
So that would obviously break if you were to plug in another operation that references PageController.
For the first release I’m just going to focus on simple string manipulation with maybe a couple of helpers. It also looks like there is some good generalized code rewriting tools coming down the pipes!
But ya, it’s definitely something to think about.
But @BartOtten yes I definitely want to make it extendable and avoid adding specific task-related code the project. I’ll take a lot at how you did it with Routex.
