Proof of concept of templates as part of generator monorepo

[derberg]

We know we want to have some core templates developed under this repo, as a result of:

• Put all (most) templates into the generator together for better developers' experience #1249
• How about a monorepo 😄  #1044

This PoC needs to answer questions like:

• do we need to release such internal templates separately, as npm modules
• how generator release relates to template release
• how it will be used in the AsyncAPI CLI
• do we keep name templates? or leave it only for extensibility part?
• maybe https://github.com/asyncapi/nodejs-template could be moved as an example - not 100% sure as it may make things complex for review
• how shared helpers will be maintained and tested
• how shared components will be maintained and tested
• should helpers and components be released as independent package? so template developers that write templates outside, can still use these. For example instead of telling people https://www.asyncapi.com/docs/tools/generator/model-generation we could have a build in components for types generation, so people do not really have to even know what modelina is and add it to dependencies
• how testing is split

Resulting PR not necessarily needs to be merged, but should be in state that helps to followup with exact implementation

As maintainer of generator I wanna work on this issue

[Gmin2]

Looking forward to see a working solution of it

I have been thinking about this in the past couple weeks. I will come up with a tentative plan sometime today.

@derberg is an AsyncAPI Maintainer specified in https://raw.githubusercontent.com/asyncapi/community/master/MAINTAINERS.yaml, so they fall under the first category in the prioritization list.

fyi, I'm a bit delayed here, lost laptop and conference travel, now a bit overwhelmed by PRs from Hacktoberfest - but all good, still on track

[derberg]

ok, I started working on the PoC

first focus is on reusable components package, and first citizen componen we need, for models generatio, so instead of asking people to do

/ 1
import { File } from '@asyncapi/generator-react-sdk';
// 2
import { PythonGenerator, FormatHelpers } from '@asyncapi/modelina';

/**
 * @typedef RenderArgument
 * @type {object}
 * @property {AsyncAPIDocument} asyncapi document object received from the generator.
 */

/**
 * Render all schema models
 * @param {RenderArgument} param0 
 * @returns 
 */
// 3
export default async function schemaRender({ asyncapi }) {
  // 4 
  const pythonGenerator = new PythonGenerator();
  // 5
  const models = await pythonGenerator.generate(asyncapi);
  // 6
  const files = [];
  // 7
  for (const model of models) {
    // 8
    const modelFileName = `${FormatHelpers.toPascalCase(model.modelName)}.py`;
    // 9
    files.push(<File name={modelFileName}>{model.result}</File>);
  }
  return files;
}

we just tell them to install @asyncapi/generator-components and then import { Models } from '@asyncapi/generator-components' and do something like <Models asyncapi=asyncapi language=python>

@derberg (githubID 6995927,) please provide an update to the PR.

I need more time on this one, there is much more code that needs to be written to see the concept in action. I don't wanna rush, and also do not want to cut the scope just to get the bounty. More important is to have something working and be able to explain what we are aiming for. I hope december is enough
