Desktop compose application for creating Android modules
Module Maker
What is this?
As we create more modules, it will become useful to be able to create a module from a template. This is a desktop compose application that allows one to create modules without having to copy / paste / modify existing modules.
What is supported
Currently, you can generated Kotlin or Android modules. A barebones template is provided for each, but can also be overridden by navigating to the settings page and adding your own template.
Example
example.mov

Generating binaries
Right now, generating a binary wouldn’t be super useful for us because the path assumed in the code is that of the path of the folder. It is a future enhancement to make this a standalone application.
But to generate new binaries, you have to have at least Java 15 set as your default, and then you can run ./gradlew package and you will see the relevant .dmg and .app binaries in the /build/compose/binaries/main/ folder. To create a jar, execute ./gradlew packageUberJarForCurrentOS which will generate a jar for the current OS in /build/compose/jar
There is a helpful bash script to generate a new jar and include it at the base directory of this project that can be executed via ./packageAndRun.sh. This method works with Java 11.
