Golem Cloud example templates

This repository contains all the template examples available for the golem CLI tool using via the golem new command.

Caution

While some template examples might work as they are, using them directly is not supported.

See the example templates section on the Golem CLI page.

Structure

The examples are organized to directories per guest languages. Each guest language directory contains an INSTRUCTIONS text file, which is a template itself and gets printed as a result of the golem new command.

Each subdirectory of the guest languages is a template where the directory's name becomes the template's name.

Each example consists of arbitrary number of files and subdirectories and a metadata.json file.

The golem new command applies the below defined template rules for each file's and directory's name, and for each file's contents.

The metadata file contains required information and also allows some additional project generation steps to be enabled.

Metadata JSON

The following fields are required:

  • description is a free-text description of the example

The following fields are optional:

  • requiresAdapter is a boolean, defaults to true. If true, the appropriate version of the WASI Preview2 to Preview1 adapter is copied into the generated project (based on the guest language) to an adapters directory.
  • requiresGolemHostWIT is a boolean, defaults to false. If true, the Golem specific WIT interface gets copied into wit/deps.
  • requiresWASI is a boolean, defaults to false. If true, the WASI Preview2 WIT interfaces which are compatible with Golem Cloud get copied into wit/deps.
  • witDepsPaths is an array of directory paths, defaults to null. When set, overrides the wit/deps directory for the above options and allows to use multiple target dirs for supporting multi-component examples.
  • exclude is a list of sub-paths and works as a simplified .gitignore file. It's primary purpose is to help the development loop of working on examples and in the future it will likely be dropped in favor of just using .gitignore files.
  • transformExclude is an optional list of file names, defaults to null. Files with name in this list will not be transformed, only copied.
  • instructions is an optional filename, defaults to null. When set, overrides the INSTRUCTIONS file used for the example, the file needs to be placed to same directory as the default instructions file.

Template rules

Golem examples are currently simple and not using any known template language, in order to keep the examples compilable as they are - this makes it very convenient to work on existing ones and add new examples as you can immediately verify that it can be compiled into a Golem template.

When calling golem-new the user specifies a template name. The provided component name must use either PascalCase, snake_case or kebab-case.

There is an optional parameter for defining a package name, which defaults to golem:component. It has to be in the pack:name format. The first part of the package name is called package namespace.

The following occurrences get replaced to the provided component name, applying the casing used in the template:

  • component-name
  • ComponentName
  • component_name
  • pack::name
  • pack:name
  • pack_name
  • pack-name
  • pack/name
  • PackName
  • pack-ns
  • PackNs

Testing the examples

The example generation and instructions can be tested with a test cli app. The app also accepts a filter argument, which matches for the example name as regular expressions, eg. to test the go examples use:

cargo run --bin golem-examples-test-cli -- -f go

Or to exactly match an example name:

cargo run --bin golem-examples-test-cli -- -f '^go-default$'

The necessary tooling for the specific language is expected to be available.

The test app will instantiate examples and then execute the instructions (all lines starting with ).

The examples are generated in the /examples-test directory.
