About:
Hof (Hofstadter) is a tool that combines data modeling with templates to generate code and other artifacts. It allows developers to define data schemas in Cue and then use those schemas to drive consistent outputs across multiple languages and formats. This approach helps maintain consistency and reduce boilerplate in complex projects.
Key Features:
  • Data-first development using Cue
  • Template-based code generation
  • Unified workflow for multiple languages
  • Modular and reusable components
Use Cases:
  • Generating API clients and server stubs from a single schema
  • Creating infrastructure-as-code configurations
  • Building consistent data models across microservices
Alternatives:
  • jsonnet – Jsonnet is a data templating language, while Hof focuses on a broader workflow with Cue for data modeling and code generation.
  • cookiecutter – Cookiecutter is for project scaffolding, whereas Hof is for ongoing code generation and data modeling within a project.
