CodeFrame
Introduction to CodeFrame
Overview
CodeFrame was born from a need for simplicity—reducing the barrier to entry for creating and building C++ projects without the usual overhead of complex configurations or setups.
Start quickly: codeframe new | cf new generates a new project with minimal input.
Build effortlessly: codeframe build | cf build compiles projects directly into executables without extensive setup.
The CodeFrame Philosophy
CodeFrame embodies the vision that one tool can handle project management and compilation across multiple languages. By focusing on a few core principles that are universally applicable, CodeFrame creates an environment where:
Consistency is key: A single, versatile configuration system powers all projects, no matter the language.
User-friendly defaults: Default settings are carefully chosen to work effectively out of the box.
Ease of configuration: With a few intuitive commands, CodeFrame enables users to manage projects across any language effortlessly.
From C++ to Any Language with CodeFrame & X-Lang
As CodeFrame continues to evolve, it’s expanding to support a broader scope. Its prototype aims to validate a universal project management approach, with X-Lang as the dedicated compiler that aligns with CodeFrame’s mission to make development accessible, consistent, and powerful.
Command Overview: Streamlining Your Workflow
CodeFrame simplifies project management through an intuitive set of commands that eliminate unnecessary complexity. With just a few commands, you can create, configure, build, and manage your projects efficiently. Below are the key commands that have already been successfully implemented:
General Commands: Manage core functionalities that are universal across projects of all languages (someday).
Config: Quickly adjust project settings with a flexible configuration system.
Build: Compile projects effortlessly into executables.
Run: Execute compiled projects directly within CodeFrame.
New: Initialize a new project with the codeframe new | cf new command for instant setup.
Generate: Automatically create required files or components for your project.
Bundle: Package your project for distribution or deployment.
Exec: Execute commands across different environments with ease.
Document: Generate project documentation to keep track of your codebase.
Schematics: Automate complex project setups with predefined or custom templates.
Open Source: Join the Journey
The plan is to make CodeFrame open-source once the prototype reaches a representable standard. Upon release, the full library of projects—currently consisting of 8—will be made available for the community.
Stay tuned for updates and be ready to explore, contribute, and grow with CodeFrame as it evolves.
