SBT-Giffy a simple web based tool to create sbt files for scala projects
Recently I was trying something with AngualrJS for one of my official assignments while studying its features I got an idea to develop an UI for creating SBT build files and that SBT-Giffy.
The idea of sbt giffy is to capture the very basic details which goes in to the build.sbt file in an web based UI. SBT-Giffy provides a nice way to specify the dependencies by capturing groupId, artifactId and version with a typeahead text fields and as many as dependencies could be defined, I believe this would eliminate the pain for developers from searching through the maven repository.
Once defined , SBT-Giffy generates the build.sbt file could be previewed which in turn could be copied to create a build.sbt file.
As of now this is a pet project and is hosted in github here.
Some of the features that are coming up
> capture JAVA_OPITONS
> multi-project builds
> define custom maven repositories.
> support for creating giter8 templates
> improve the UI !!!
