# Rojo Design - Protocol Version 1
|
|
This is a super rough draft that I'm trying to use to lay out some of my thoughts.
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
### POST `/read`
|
|
Accepts a `Vec<Route>` of items to read.
|
|
|
|
Returns `Vec<Option<RbxItem>>`, in the same order as the request.
|
|
|
|
### POST `/write`
|
|
Accepts a `Vec<{ Route, RbxItem }>` of items to write.
|
|
|
|
I imagine that the `Name` attribute of the top-level `RbxItem` would be ignored in favor of the route name?
|
|
|
|
## CLI
|
|
|
|
### Transform Plugins
|
|
Transform plugins (or filter plugins?) can interject in three places:
|
|
* Transform a `VfsItem` that's being read into an `RbxItem`
|
|
* Transform an `Rbxitem` that's being written into a `VfsItem`
|
|
* Transform a file change into paths that need to be updated
|
|
|
|
The plan is to have several built-in plugins that can be rearranged/configured in project settings:
|
|
|
|
* Base plugin
|
|
* Transforms all unhandled files to/from StringValue objects
|
|
* Script plugin
|
|
* Transforms `*.lua` files to their appropriate file types
|
|
* JSON/rbxmx/rbxlx model plugin
|
|
* External binary plugin
|
|
* User passes a binary name (like `moonc`) that modifies file contents
|
|
|
|
## Roblox Studio Plugin
|
|
With the protocol version 1 change, the Roblox Studio plugin got a lot simpler. Notably, the plugin doesn't need to be aware of anything about the filesystem's semantics, which is super handy. |
