Ariel Mashraki 7be1779ad1 entc/gen: add the type name as an index prefix (#171)
Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebookincubator/ent/pull/171

Note that this is a non backwards compatible change.

I'll add another change (before this) for setting the storage-key of the index, and only after that we can land this.

entcpkg example

An example of using entc (ent codegen) as package rather than an executable.

In this example, we have a file named entc.go under the ./ent directory, that holds the configuration for the codegen:

// +build ignore

package main

import (
	"log"

	"github.com/facebookincubator/ent/entc"
	"github.com/facebookincubator/ent/entc/gen"
	"github.com/facebookincubator/ent/schema/field"
)

func main() {
	err := entc.Generate("./schema", &gen.Config{
		Header: `
			// Copyright (c) Facebook, Inc. and its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.
			// This source code is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license found
			// in the LICENSE file in the root directory of this source tree.

			// Code generated (@generated) by entc, DO NOT EDIT.
		`,
		IDType: &field.TypeInfo{Type: field.TypeInt},
	})
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("running ent codegen:", err)
	}
}

As you can see, the file is tagged with // +build ignore in order to not include it in the ent package. In order to run the codegen, run the file itself (using go run) or run go generate ./ent. The generate.go file holds the go run command:

package ent

//go:generate go run entc.go

The generate.go file is preferred if you have many generate pragmas in your project.
