JAUT: JUCE Augmented Utility Toolbox

JUCE, a wonderful framework, a vast collection of amazing tools.
It's main focus has always been on audio, but lately evolved into much more than just for sound engineers; everyone can do almost everything with it and it constantly grows bigger and bigger.

However, it hasn't got everything and many many cool things it provides aren't that super duper great thing everyone is craving or just isn't there to begin with.
This is the reason why this module-bundle came to exist.

JAUT aims at developers that are missing that feeling of completeness and don't like to bother too much with adding more and more 3rd Party externals just to get one thing going.
All we try to accomplish is a central collection of useful stuff.

Motivation

The origin-story of this collection couldn't be any more trivial. During work on some projects, I came to realise that most of the things that flow into any of them are not unique cases.
A lot of the used stuff might be used in the next project, and the next, and the... you get the gist.

So wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if all these projects had some sort of anchor-point?
Is there a way to, such that I don't have to copy everything over and over again?
Well, I love to break it to you:
A big fat YES; the answer is a common toolset.

Installation

The entire bundle is backed by a CMake module, so there is not much to do. However, you will still need to be aware of one or the other thing.

Dependencies

JUCE

Since this repository is a juce module-bundle, it is just natural to fetch JUCE first before doing anything with it.

https://github.com/juce-framework/juce

Optionals

There is also a few optonal libraries that are used to enable a subset of additional functionality. These are not necessary but needed when making use of these tools.

jaut::YamlParser depends on: https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp
Provides the JAUT configuration tools with a yaml parser
jaut::LogSinkFmt... classes depend on: https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt
Provides the JAUT logger classes with formatting capabilities

Setup

CMake

It couldn't be any easier. Thanks to the JUCE module system, all you need to do is adding this bundle as a subdirectory. (after adding JUCE)

You can then selectively link the module, you want to use, to your target.

add_subdirectory(path/to/jaut)
target_link_libraries(YourTarget
    VISIBILITY
        jaut::jaut_core
        jaut::jaut_gui
        # ect.
        )

That's it!
You can now continue with your work. :)

Projucer

Add the module of interest to the module section pf the Projucer. (the little '+' in the corner of the module list)

Usage

Since JAUT is a bigger collection of tools and utilities, it wouldn't make much sense to give details about every single thing in this section.

Thankfully, this repository also provides a wiki and a reference which sheds some light on the individual parts of this toolset which can be found here:
