chore(POC): simpler / more flexible api

[manuel3108]

Closes #85

This is a POC to start visualizing stuff and initiate discussions. Besides of some new types & adapting the paraglide adder, I haven't done any implementation. So expect plenty of type errors and failing pipelines.

Up until now I was keeping my mouth shut about #85 as I had many doubts if this was the right way going forward. Also I had a hard time imagining how this would look in a real adder. Now that this is done with this POC it was eye opening how many flexibilities this will bring us & the community. Besides copying some code, there are nearly zero changes that affect the functionality of the adders. Since most of the functionality already exists it should be straight forward to implement this, once we come up with the "final" api. Most of the work probably needs to be done inside the adders, as there is lots of stuff that needs to be moved.

Edit: The diff looks way worse than it actually is. Consider opening the whole file or viewing in VScode

This is bad, but works for the moment. This is required since our workspace has a kit property and this import is also named kit

[manuel3108]

Suggested change

	run: ({ api, cwd, options, typescript, kit, dependencyVersion }) => {
	run: ({ files, packages, scripts, cwd, options, typescript, kit, dependencyVersion }) => {

Open for discussion: Only one export, or multiple? I had implemented both locally, but decided to go with api as files and scripts only had one property. It might be more future proof, if we export all three things separately.

i would probably name them as just sv and file. sv would encapsulate packages and scripts and file would just be for file handling.

but maybe having a unified sv that does it all isn't so bad... hmmm, need to think on it.

[manuel3108]

interesting approach to just name it sv, i like that.
Although i wouldn't be sure about combining packages and scripts and leaving files separately. I would suggest that we do all or nothing here.

[AdrianGonz97]

the issue with not letting it have it's own namespace is that each method now gets a bit more verbose

ex:

sv.updateFile
sv.createOrUpdateFile
sv.createFile

as opposed to:

file.update
file.createOrUpdate
file.create

[manuel3108]

But wouldn't we have exactly the same problem with script and package?
Additionally, package is a reserved keyword in strict mode, which would make it necessary to use the plural or something completely different like dependencies

[AdrianGonz97]

this really does look and feel much nicer!!

there are still things i would love to improve after this, such as using an ast manipulating api like this:

const { script, css, generateCode } = parseSvelte(content);
script.importNamed('../adder-template-demo.txt?raw', { demo: 'Demo' });
css.addClass('foobar', { 'background-color': 'blue' });
return generateCode({ script: script.generateCode(), css: css.generateCode() });

after that, i think we'll be super close to having a library that's ready for community integrations

[manuel3108]

Regarding that bit of code that you removed back to the top: I moved it on purpose because it's only used in that one place and nowhere else, so i thought it was unnecessary polluting global stuff. But whatever works for you, i don't have a strong opinion on that.

const { script, css, generateCode } = parseSvelte(content);
script.importNamed('../adder-template-demo.txt?raw', { demo: 'Demo' });
css.addClass('foobar', { 'background-color': 'blue' });
return generateCode({ script: script.generateCode(), css: css.generateCode() });

I agree, there is lot's of improvement potential in the ast apis as well. Overall i like where this would be going. But as you said, one step at a time.

yea, i much prefer keeping actual constants in the top scope, especially in this case so it's not polluting the sections with logic

[AdrianGonz97]

so one issue with this new api is that we'll no longer be able to determine if an integration has been previously installed as the packages are no longer static values that we can easily examine.

see:

cli/packages/cli/commands/add/index.ts

Lines 309 to 327 in 4812956

	// check if the dependent adder has already been installed
	let installed = false;
	installed = dependent.packages.every(
	// we'll skip the conditions since we don't have any options to supply it
	(p) => p.condition !== undefined || !!workspace.dependencyVersion(p.name)
	);
	if (installed) continue;
	// prompt to install the dependent
	const install = await p.confirm({
	message: `The ${pc.bold(pc.cyan(adder.id))} integration requires ${pc.bold(pc.cyan(depId))} to also be setup. ${pc.green('Include it?')}`
	});
	if (install !== true) {
	p.cancel('Operation cancelled.');
	process.exit(1);
	}
	selectedAdders.push({ type: 'official', adder: dependent });
	}

we're accessing the packages field and checking the package.json to see if they're installed.

the lucia integration relies on this to determine whether we should prompt to also install drizzle. this prevents the drizzle adder from being needlessly executed again if drizzle is already present.

not exactly sure how this can be worked around yet, but this is something we definitely needs to solve

I wasn't aware anymore that we had this in place.

I was initially going to suggest something like this

run: ({ sv, cwd, options, typescript, kit, dependencyVersion }) => {
    if(!!dependencyVersion('drizzle-orm'))
        sv.dependsOn('drizzle)

    // do other file updates
}

That would increase flexibility as well. But this won't work because we will only be able to determine the integrations it depends on while executing the adder. But in general I do think a functional approach like this would be best, maybe by converting our existing dependsOn field into a function and basically doing the same thing as above.
