mtMacroDevUtils (lib:mf.dev.utils)

An addon library for MapTool containing various general-purpose macros.

NOTE: This project is currently in very early development stages! Everything is 100% guaranteed to change and/or break in the near future.

Some General Plans:

• Add intuitive abstractions for complex macro capabilities.
• Provide "shortcuts" for some common macro techniques.
• Establish some standardization that can help disparate libraries to be compatible with each other.

Broader goals:

• Foster a more modular and interoperable approach to macro development in the MapTool community.
• Be engaged with MapTool's ongoing development of the Add-on Libraries feature.
• Embrace the functional nature of MapTool macro development.
• Write code that is easy to share, use, and modify.

Documentation

Documentation for the project will have a minimalistic approach that will emphasize viewing the source on GitHub. Most documentation will exist in README.md files alongside the source code, which GitHub will render when navigating between folders in the repository. Any sort of modification- related information and options will be documented in comments within the source. These practices are intended to keep all documentation with the library itself.
