Viaduct 
A configuration management framework written in Go.
The framework allows you to write configuration in plain Go, compiled and distributed as a binary.
Getting started
Create a project in main.go and import the framework:
import "github.com/surminus/viaduct"
func main() {
}
Add resources as part of the main() function. To create a directory and file:
func main() {
dir := viaduct.Directory{Path: "test"}.Create()
viaduct.File{Path: fmt.Sprintf("%s/foo", dir.Path), Content: "bar"}.Create()
}
Resources always return their resource object. In the example above, we use the Directory path as part of the file creation.
This also means we can run whatever action we need to on that resource:
func main() {
dir := viaduct.Directory{Path: "test"}.Create()
viaduct.File{Path: fmt.Sprintf("%s/foo", dir.Path), Content: "bar"}.Create()
dir.Delete()
}
Embedded files and templates
There are helper functions to allow us to use the embed package to flexibly work with files and templates.
To create a template, first create a file in templates/test.txt using Go template syntax:
My name is {{ .Name }}
We can then generate the data to create our file:
import (
"embed"
"github.com/surminus/viaduct"
)
//go:embed templates
var templates embed.FS
func main() {
template := viaduct.NewTemplate(
templates,
"templates/test.txt",
struct{ Name string }{Name: "Bella"},
)
viaduct.File{Path: "test/foo", Content: template}.Create()
}
The EmbeddedFile function works in a similar way, but without variables.
Attributes
Like any good configuration management tool, we also have access to node attributes under the Attribute variable:
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/surminus/viaduct"
)
func main() {
dir := viaduct.Directory{Path: "test"}.Create()
viaduct.File{Path: fmt.Sprintf("%s/foo", dir.Path), Content: "bar"}.Create()
dir.Delete()
fmt.Println(viaduct.Attribute.JSON())
}
When you're happy with your configuration, compile and run using go build.
