Definitions

Definitions files are in YAML or JSON, and describe the schema of types and tasks. In this document, the examples are in YAML, since the syntax is lighter.

A definition file is divided in two sections, types and tasks, which are two dictionaries mapping a type or a task id to its definition. The definition is described in

types:
    type1:
        - a: b
    type2:
        ...

tasks:
    task1:
        ...
    task2:
        ...

Types

A type is defined by a dictionary, whose keys can be:

• arguments The arguments that define the type
• type The type (by defaut, any)
• help A markdown formatted help message for this argument
• default or generator provides a default value: default is an object corresponding to the default value

Generators

At the moment, only one generator is defined.

generator:
    type: path
    name: basename for the generated path
