Features request: Sailfish cli tool

Features:
I need a sailfish-cli tool to transform a nested folder a to folder b, will transform all files with ext.stpl to b same folder structure with files without .stpl. I have looked into sailfish and compiler, it mostly support macro for now which is a bit hard to navigate around.
The dictionaries data to do the translation can be environment variable or config file through --config, -c
If there is any hint to get it done? Thanks

Check out rust build macros. That's what I use to copy things over for my builds, along with running the tailwindCSS executable to minify my CSS.

https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-scripts.html

If you need a starter, I can give you some of my build script code.

Here's my build.rs anyway: (Just ignore some of the bits about windows, I'm still trying to get it cross platform, but haven't gotten far enough yet.)

//use std::fs::create_dir;
use std::io::ErrorKind;

fn main() {
    //let out_dir = env::var("OUT_DIR").unwrap();
    //Get the current directory
    let current_dir = String::from(format!(
        "{}",
        env::current_dir().expect("current_dir failed!").display()
    ));

    //use regex::Regex;
    //let re = Regex::new(r"[A-Za-z]").unwrap();
    //let result = re.replace_all("Hello World!", "x");
    //println!("{}", result); // => "xxxxx xxxxx!"

    // let icon_str = Regex::new(r##"fill=["'].*['"]"##).unwrap().replace_all(
    //     include_str!(concat!(env!("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR"), "/src/img/heroicons/src/24/solid/chevron-right.svg")),
    //     "fill='white'"

I just had this issue and none of them worked, but here is what worked for me on Windows 11.

    Install OpenSSL from http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html into C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64

    Set all your env variables, for me I set OPENSSL_CONF to C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64\bin\openssl.cfg and added C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64\bin to my path.

    Download the cert, assuming you have wget installed, wget https://curl.se/ca/cacert.pem -o cacert.pem into C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64\certs

    Next step is to set up your environment for building openssl run in powershell:

 $env:OPENSSL_NO_VENDOR=1
 $env:RUSTFLAGS='-Ctarget-feature=+crt-static'
 $env:SSL_CERT = 'C:\OpenSSL-Win64\certs\cacert.pem'
 $env:OPENSSL_DIR = 'C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64'

and run cargo build

Thanks for sharing!

My approach is simpler, it would be something like this:
cp -R a /b; cd b/; ./sailfish-cli .

You can of sailfish-cli is a general tool just like tera-cli https://github.com/chevdor/tera-cli

Features: I need a sailfish-cli tool to transform a nested folder a to folder b, will transform all files with ext.stpl to b same folder structure with files without .stpl. I have looked into sailfish and compiler, it mostly support macro for now which is a bit hard to navigate around. The dictionaries data to do the translation can be environment variable or config file through --config, -c If there is any hint to get it done? Thanks

Would this bash script suffice?

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$#" -ne 2 ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 path_a path_b"
    exit 1
fi

path_a="$1"
path_b="$2"

if [ ! -d "$path_b" ]; then
    mkdir -p "$path_b"
fi

for file in "$path_a"/*; do
    filename=$(basename "$file")
    # Check if file has .stpl extension
    if [[ "$filename" == *.stpl ]]; then
        new_filename="${filename%.stpl}"
        mv "$file" "$path_b/$new_filename"
    else
        mv "$file" "$path_b/$filename"
    fi
done

This doesn't include the part of translating stpl file. The copy part with script is easy, hard part is doing translate recursively the whole directory without writing macro like what we normally do with sailfish. That's why I ask about how to use sailfish compiler directly.
