Cake-Bake

Cake-Bake [ka-ke-ba-ke] allows to bake Cakefile into native Crystal code.

Why?

Because sometimes cake tasks are wanted to be run as binaries.

For example, to run from a Docker container with an already built application: docker run my-crystal-app bin/cake db:migrate.

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

targets:
  cake:
    main: src/run/cake.cr

dependencies:
  cake-bake:
    github: vladfaust/cake-bake.cr

Usage

Given ./Cakefile:

require "./src/some_file" # These requires

task :foo
  puts "bar"
end

./src/run/cake.cr:

require "cake-bake"
Cake.bake("../../Cakefile") # Full path to Cakefile needed to properly resolve requires (see above)

# The Cakefile code will be put here, yay

Then execute from ./:

$ crystal src/run/cake -- foo
bar

$ crystal build src/run/cake
$ ./cake foo
bar

$ shards build
$ ./bin/cake foo
bar
