Constants

You can define constants for data that you want to use multiple times throughout your Toolchain.

constants.cli

my-toolchain {
  const my-const = "My Dear Constant Value"
  action "echo $(my-const)"
}

Console

$ my-toolchain
My Dear Constant Value

Scope

Constants are visible in both the defined scope and the child scopes.

templates.cli

my-toolchain {
  const my-const = "My Dear Constant Value"
  
  sub my-child {
    action "echo Child $(my-const)"
  }
}

Console

$ my-toolchain my-child
Child My Dear Constant Value

Templates

You can use templates when assigning a value to a constant. Reference other constants or parameters.

templates.cli

my-toolchain {
  const my = "My"
  const dear = "Dear"
  const constant = "Constant"
  const value = "Value"

  const my-const = "$(my) $(dear) $(constant) $(value)"
  
  sub my-child {
    action "echo Child $(my-const)"
  }
}

Console

$ my-toolchain my-child
Child My Dear Constant Value
