Formula output

[lucasdittrichzup]

What would you like to be added:

The idea of ​​formula outputs is to allow ritchie cli users to develop workflows in which it is possible to reuse the output of one formula as input to another.

With that we have, initially, that the output of the formulas will be recorded in a file called output.json inside the bin folder of the formula. In addition, we have the following definitions:

:: > initial marker
rit-output > log identifier for rit outputs
[space] > separator between identifier and variable
= > separator between variable name and variable value

NodeJS example:

console.log("::rit-output database=postgres")

We also defined that, from the formula output file, it will be possible to consume the values ​​recorded through the flags, as an example:

rit database init --db=::rit-output.repo_formula.database

Where:

--db > formula input used as a flag
= > separator of the flag and the value passed
:: > initial marker
rit-output > log identifier for rit outputs
. > is the separator of the identifier, formula path and variable
repo > repository where the formula is located (local-default, for example)
formula > formula itself without the rit command separated by an underscore (scaffold_kotlin, for example)
database > key inside the "output.json" file that you want to use

P.S .: For this first delivery, only one output per line will be accepted:

console.log("::rit-output database=postgres")
console.log("::rit-output host=localhost")
console.log("::rit-output port=5432")

Why is this needed:

To allow the output of formulas and the reuse in the development of workflows
