;;; acdw.el --- various meta-whatevers -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
;;; Commentary:
;; What's that saying about how the hardest things in computer science
;; are naming and off-by-one errors? Well, the naming one I know very
;; well. I've been trying to figure out a good way to prefix my
;; bespoke functions, other stuff I found online, and various emacs
;; lisp detritus for quite some time (I reckon at over a year, as of
;; 2021-11-02). Finally, I found the answer in the writings of Daniel
;; Mendler: I'll prefix everything with a `+' !
;; To that end, pretty much everything in lisp/ will have a filename
;; like "+org.el", except of course this file, and maybe a few
;; /actually original/ libraries I haven't had the wherewithal to
;; package out properly yet.
;; Is it perfect? No. Is it fine? Yes. Here it is.
;;; Code:
;;; Define a directory and an expanding function
(defmacro +define-dir (name directory &optional docstring inhibit-mkdir)
"Define a variable and function NAME expanding to DIRECTORY.
DOCSTRING is applied to the variable. Ensure DIRECTORY exists in
the filesystem, unless INHIBIT-MKDIR is non-nil."
(declare (indent 2))
(unless inhibit-mkdir
(make-directory (eval directory) :parents))
`(progn
(defvar ,name ,directory
,(concat docstring (when docstring "\n")
"Defined by `/define-dir'."))
(defun ,name (file &optional mkdir)
,(concat "Expand FILE relative to variable `" (symbol-name name) "'.\n"
"If MKDIR is non-nil, the directory is created.\n"
"Defined by `/define-dir'.")
(let ((file-name (expand-file-name (convert-standard-filename file)
,name)))
(when mkdir
(make-directory (file-name-directory file-name) :parents))
file-name))))
(provide 'acdw)
