Heya everyone!
I wrote a small blog post where I showcase how I use Kakoune together with Awk to generate types for OCaml.
In OCaml, you deal with SQL statements that look like this
let my_query =
[%rapper
get_opt
{sql|
SELECT @int{id}, @string{username}, @bool{following}, @string?{bio}
FROM users
WHERE username <> %string{wrong_user} AND id > %int{min_id}
|sql} record_out]
Unless you want a tuple as the return type, you need to manually create a record type for the return result.
type my_query_result =
{ id : int
; username : string
; following : bool
; bio : string option
}
I found this tedious, so I wrote an awk script to do it for me and called it from within Kakoune. The final workflow in the end looks like this.
I thought it was a cool demonstration for just how easy Kakoune is to extend and wanted to share with you guys :).
If you’d like the full script, you can find it in the blog post here.
