How do you use bob step by step?

I searched the pkg.dev and documentation website

How do you use bob step by step?

1. Installing the library is not straightforward. I can't find a go get or go install anywhere.
2. https://bob.stephenafamo.com/docs/code-generation/configuration/ references a bobgen.yaml but I cannot find an example anywhere.
3. https://bob.stephenafamo.com/docs/code-generation/psql shows a go run commend, but then references an unreferenced yaml key for driver configuration.

So, what is a step by step guide to running bob with github.com/jackc/pgx/v5 driver and calling a create and insert?

I am also hoping that bob generates the code for me to connect to database so I don't have to configure all of that too.

There have been quite some major changes lately and the documentation wasn't updated yet, but I'm currently writing up an short up-to-date step-by-step guide (focused on postgres) and will link it here when it's ready.

In the meantime you can find some more recent information in the Github discussions and the changelog.

Hi @daddz
I know it's an open source project and you guys are doing your best. I appreciate what you guys are doing. Any update on the documentation?
Thanks

@switchupcb, @josuebrunel sorry for the long delay.

I now went with an example project where I try to build working/executable examples for the different code-generation features of bob.

This way it's quicker for me to update the examples and ensure they work when bigger (breaking) changes are introduced.

Here's the repo: https://github.com/daddz/bob-example

Let me know if that's helpful at all and also what kind of examples would be helpful.

Hi @daddz thanks. I eventually figured things out myself. Thanks for the example repo.
I built PropCopyAI using bob. It was a fun experience once I understood how to use it.
Thanks again and keep up the good work
