Alloy

Alloy is a framework for code generation that borrows concepts from JavaScript front-end frameworks like React and Solid to provide highly ergonomic and productive source code generation. Use JSX syntax to define source files and the language elements within them. Alloy helps handle a lot of the hard bits like building source text from strings, linking declarations and importing necessary dependencies, applying naming conventions, formatting, and generating syntax for a number of languages.

import * as ay from "@alloy-js/core";
import * as ts from "@alloy-js/typescript";

const res = ay.render(
  <ay.Output>
    <ay.SourceFile path="readme.md" filetype="markdown">
      This is a sample output project.
    </ay.SourceFile>

    <ts.SourceFile path="test1.ts">
      <ay.Declaration name="foo">const foo = 1;</ay.Declaration>
    </ts.SourceFile>

    <ts.SourceFile path="test2.ts">
      const v = <ts.Reference refkey="foo" />;
    </ts.SourceFile>
  </ay.Output>
);

console.log(res[2].contents);
// import { foo } from "./test2.ts";
//
// const v = foo;

This project is in pre-beta. Expect everything to change. Feedback is especially appreciated.
