adr

A tool for managing ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) in a directory (ideally inside of a repo).

[!Note] Initially based on https://github.com/bradcypert/adl/

Adjusted to be built as a .wasm as well as depending on https://github.com/karlseguin/zul/ for DateTime formatting instead of depending on https://github.com/frmdstryr/zig-datetime.

Background

I wondered how much smaller a .wasm version of this CLI would be in comparison to a native executable.

As it turns out… pretty small (33K)

That said, a native ELF binary compiled with ReleaseSmall is just 10 K bigger than the .wasm binary.

(A WebAssembly runtime is many orders of magnitude larger than that)

Requirements

• Git
• Wasmtime (curl https://wasmtime.dev/install.sh -sSf | bash)
• Zig (recent master)

Installation

.wasm binary

1. Clone the adr repo somewhere, or download adr.wasm on its own.
2. OPTIONALLY: Rebuild the adr.wasm using zig build
3. Add an adr alias to your shell, something like:

alias adr='wasmtime run --dir . ~/Code/GitHub/peterhellberg/adr/zig-out/bin/adr.wasm'

[!Tip] You can also run the CLI via zig build run -- create Your new adr

Native binary

1. Clone the adr repo somewhere
2. Build the native adr binary using zig build native
3. Copy zig-out/bin/adr to somewhere in your path

Usage

Generating a new ADR

adr create WebAssembly runtime for adr

This will create (or update) a README.md in your adr/ directory (creating that directory if necessary).

If this was your first ADR, it would create the file 00000-WebAssembly-runtime-for-adr.md.

It would then update the README in the same directory with a link to the newly created ADR document.

Regenerating the README

adr regen
