GitHub - acro5piano/circon: [deprecated] Simple CircleCI Config meta-language powered by JavaScript

[warning] I found alternatives after created this package. command and executer added at CircleCI 2.1, and YAML anchor would save your time.

CircleCI Config generator

Install

Or if you use Yarn:

tl;dr

const config = require('circon')

config
  .docker('circleci/node:10.3.0')
  .docker('postgres', {
    environment: {
      TZ: '/usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Abidjan',
    },
  })

config
  .define('test')
  .usePackage('yarn')
  .tasks`
    yarn test
  `

console.log(config.dump())

Outputs:

version: 2
jobs:
  test:
    docker:
      - image: 'circleci/node:10.3.0'
      - image: 'postgres'
        environment:
          TZ: /usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Abidjan
    working_directory: ~/repo
    steps:
      - checkout
      - restore_cache:
          keys:
            - 'v2-dependencies-{{ checksum "yarn.lock" }}'
            - v2-dependencies-
      - run: yarn install
      - save_cache:
          paths:
            - node_modules
          key: 'v2-dependencies-{{ checksum "yarn.lock" }}'
      - run: yarn test
workflows:
  version: 2
  master_jobs:
    jobs:
      - test

Motivation

CircleCI is great, but if we have a lot of jobs & workflows, the configuration file become messy.

Although CircleCI can interpret YAML syntax like <<: *defaults or - run: *setup_awscli, still verbose.

circon comes in to address this issue. It reduces a lot of your YAML code! For example, let's say more complex configuration:

const config = require('circon')

const installAwsCli = `
  mkdir ~/.aws
  echo '[default]' >> ~/.aws/credentials
  echo aws_access_key_id = $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID >> ~/.aws/credentials
  echo aws_secret_access_key = $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY >> ~/.aws/credentials
  echo region = ap-northeast-1 >> ~/.aws/credentials
`

config
  .docker('circleci/node:10.3.0', {
    environment: {
      TZ: '/usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Tokyo',
    },
  })
  .docker('postgres', {
    environment: {
      TZ: '/usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Abidjan',
    },
  })

config
  .define('graphdoc')
  .usePackage('yarn')
  .tasks`
    yarn graphdoc
  `

config
  .define('test')
  .usePackage('yarn')
  .branches('develop')
  .docker('nats')
  .tasks`
    yarn test
  `

config
  .define('deploy')
  .usePackage('yarn')
  .branches('beta', 'master')
  .requires('test')
  .tasks`
    ${installAwsCli}
    yarn deploy
  `

config
  .define('publish')
  .usePackage('yarn')
  .branches('release')
  .requires('test', 'deploy')
  .tasks`
    ${installAwsCli}
    yarn publish
  `

console.log(config.dump())

The output is too long to paste here. Please see https://github.com/acro5piano/circon/blob/master/src/index.test.ts

Options

config.docker(name: string, config: any)

Define default docker container to run. If you set this option after define, containers will run only in the job.

config.define(taskName: string)

Define a task.

config.usePackage(package: 'yarn' | 'npm')

Use specified package manager to install dependencies before tasks and save its cache.

config.branches(name: ...string[])

Run only if current branch is specified branches.

config.requires(name: ...string[])

Do not run job if specified job failed.

config.tasks(name: TemplateStringsArray)

Run specified commands.

CLI

Create a configuration file (say circle.js) like this:

// circle.js

config
  .define('test')
  .docker('circleci/node:10.3.0')
  .usePackage('yarn')
  .tasks`
    yarn test
  `

module.exports = config

Then run
