An [annotation processor](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/annotation/processing/Processor.html) that automatically generates a `GeneratedVersion` class based on a [Mustache](https://mustache.github.io/) template and containing the [semantic version](http://semver.org/) (major, minor, patch, etc.) that is read from a `Properties` file or defined in the [annotation](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/annotations/basics.html).
This processor was inspired by Cédric Beust's [version-processor](https://github.com/cbeust/version-processor) and works well in conjunction with the [Semantic Version Plugin for Gralde](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver-gradle).
## Examples
* Using annotation elements:
```java
import net.thauvin.erik.semver.Version;
@Version(major = 1, minor = 0, patch = 0, preRelease = "beta")
public class A {
// ...
```
* Or using a [properties](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/properties.html) file:
```java
import net.thauvin.erik.semver.Version;
@Version(properties = "version.properties")
public class A {
// ...
```
```ini
# version.properties
version.major=1
version.minor=0
version.patch=0
version.prerelease=beta
```
[View Example](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/tree/master/examples)
## Template
Upon running the annotation processor, a source file [`GeneratedVersion.java`](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/blob/master/examples/java/src/generated/java/net/thauvin/erik/semver/examples/java/GeneratedVersion.java) is automatically generated with static methods to access the semantic version data. The source is based on a fully customizable [Mustache](https://mustache.github.io/) template.
To use your own template, simply create a `version.mustache` file. The processor will automatically look for it.
To specify your own template name, use:
```java
@Version(template = "version.mustache")
public class A {
// ...
```
### Default Template
The [default template](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/blob/master/src/main/resources/semver.mustache) implements the following static fields:
Field | Description | Example
:--------------|:---------------------------------|:-----------------
`PROJECT` | The project name, if any. | `MyProject`
`BUILDDATE` | The build date. | [`java.util.Date`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Date.html)
`VERSION` | The full version string. | `1.2.3-alpha+001`
`MAJOR` | The major version. | `1`
`MINOR` | The minor version. | `2`
`PATCH` | The patch version. | `3`
`PRERELEASE` | The pre-release version, if any. | `alpha`
`BUILDMETA` | The build metadata, if any. | `001`
And the following methods/functions:
Method | Description | Example
:------------------------|:----------------------------------------------------------|:--------
`preReleaseWithPrefix()` | Returns the pre-release with a prefix, `-` by default. | `-alpha`
`buildMetaWithPrefix()` | Returns the build metadata with a prefix, `+` by default. | `+001`
### Custom Template
A very simple custom template might look something like:
```java
/* version.mustache */
package {{packageName}}
import java.util.Date;
public final class {{className}} {
public final static String PROJECT = "{{project}}";
public final static Date DATE = new Date({{epoch}}L);
public final static int MAJOR = {{major}};
public final static int MINOR = {{minor}};
public final static int PATCH = {{patch}};
public final static String PRERELEASE = "{{preRelease}}";
public final static String BUILDMETA = "{{buildMeta}}";
}
```
The mustache variables automatically filled in by the processor are:
Variable | Description | Type
:-----------------|:----------------------------|:--------
`{{packageName}}` | The package name. | `String`
`{{className}}` | The class name. | `String`
`{{project}}` | The project name. | `String`
`{{epoch}}` | The build epoch/unix time. | `long`
`{{major}}` | The major version. | `int`
`{{minor}}` | The minor version. | `int`
`{{patch}}` | The patch version. | `int`
`{{preRelease}}` | The pre/release version. | `String`
`{{buildMeta}}` | The build metadata version. | `String`
Please also look at this [example](https://github.com/ethauvin/mobibot/blob/master/version.mustache) using [`java.time`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/package-summary.html)
## Elements & Properties
The following annotation elements and properties are available:
Element | Property | Description | Default
:-------------|:---------------------|:----------------------------------|:-------------------------
`project` | `version.project` | The project name. |
`major` | `version.major` | The major version number. | `1`
`minor` | `version.major` | The minor version number. | `0`
`patch` | `version.patch` | The patch version number. | `0`
`preRelease` | `version.prerelease` | The pre-release version. |
`buildMeta` | `version.buildmeta` | The build metadata version. |
`packageName` | | The package name. | _Same as annotated class_
`className` | | The name of the generated class. | `GeneratedVersion`
`properties` | | The properties file. |
`template` | | The template file. | `version.mustache`
`type` | | Either `java` or `kt` for Kotlin. | `java`
`keysPrefix` | | The prefix for all property keys. | `version.`
In order to easily incorporate with existing projects, the property keys may be assigned custom values:
```java
@Version(
properties = "example.properties",
keysPrefix = "example."
majorKey = "maj",
minorKey = "min",
patchKey = "build",
preReleaseKey = "rel",
buildMetaKey = "meta",
projectKey = "project"
)
public class Example {
// ...
```
```ini
# example.properties
example.project=Example
example.maj=1
example.min=0
example.build=0
example.rel=beta
example.meta=
# ...
```
> :warning: `keysPrefix` is a new element in `1.1.0` and may break older versions when using custom property keys.
> :zap: A quick fix is to include `keysPrefix=""` in the annotation to remove the default `version.` prefix.
## Usage with Maven, Grail, Kobalt and Kotlin
### Maven
To install and run from [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/), configure an artifact as follows:
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>net.thauvin.erik</groupId>
<artifactId>semver</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>
```
### Gradle
#### Class Generation
To install and run from [Gradle](https://gradle.org/), add the following to the `build.gradle` file:
```gradle
dependencies {
annotationProcessor 'net.thauvin.erik:semver:1.1.0'
compileOnly 'net.thauvin.erik:semver:1.1.0'
}
```
The `GeneratedVersion` class will be automatically created in the `build/generated` directory upon compiling.
#### Class & Source Generation
In order to also incorporate the generated source code into the `source tree`, add the following to the very top of the `build.gradle` file:
```gradle
compileJava.options.annotationProcessorGeneratedSourcesDirectory = file("${projectDir}/src/generated")
```
The `GeneratedVersion.java` file will now be located in `src/generated`.
Please look at the [build.gradle](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/blob/master/examples/java/build.gradle) file in the [Java example](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/tree/master/example/java) module directory for a sample.
### Kobalt
To install and run from [Kobalt](http://beust.com/kobalt/), add the following to the `Build.kt` file:
```gradle
dependencies {
apt("net.thauvin.erik:semver:1.1.0")
compileOnly("net.thauvin.erik:semver:1.1.0")
}
```
Please look at the [Build.kt](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/blob/master/examples/kotlin/kobalt/src/Build.kt) file in the [Kotlin example](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/tree/master/examples/kotlin) module directory for a sample.
### Kotlin
The annotation processor also supports [Kotlin](https://kotlinlang.org/).
To generate a Kotlin version file, simply specify the `type` as follows:
```kotlin
import net.thauvin.erik.semver.Version
@Version(properties = "version.properties", type="kt")
open class Main {
// ...
```
The [Kotlin default template](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/blob/master/src/main/resources/semver-kt.mustache) implements the same static fields and functions as the [Java template](#default-template).
Please look at the [Kotlin example](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/tree/master/examples/kotlin) project for samples on using Gradle ([build.gradle.kts](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/blob/master/examples/kotlin/build.gradle.kts)) and Kobalt ([Build.kt](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/blob/master/examples/kotlin/kobalt/src/Build.kt)).
## Auto-Increment
Incrementing the version is best left to your favorite build system. For a solution using Gradle, please have a look at the [Semver Version Plugin for Gradle](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver-gradle).
