## CoreDHCP Generator
`coredhcp-generator` is a tool used to build CoreDHCP with the plugins you want.
Why is it even needed? Go is a compiled language with no dynamic loading
support. In order to load a plugin, it has to be compiled in. We are happy to
provide a standard [main.go](/cmds/coredhcp/main.go), and at the same time we
don't want to include plugins that not everyone would use, otherwise the binary
size would grow without control.
You can use `coredhcp-generator` to generate a `main.go` that includes all the
plugins you wish. Just use it as follows:
```
$ ./coredhcp-generator --from core-plugins.txt
2019/11/21 23:32:04 Generating output file '/tmp/coredhcp547019106/coredhcp.go' with 7 plugin(s):
2019/11/21 23:32:04 1) github.com/coredhcp/coredhcp/plugins/file
2019/11/21 23:32:04 2) github.com/coredhcp/coredhcp/plugins/lease_time
2019/11/21 23:32:04 3) github.com/coredhcp/coredhcp/plugins/netmask

2019/11/21 23:32:04 5) github.com/coredhcp/coredhcp/plugins/router
2019/11/21 23:32:04 6) github.com/coredhcp/coredhcp/plugins/server_id
2019/11/21 23:32:04 7) github.com/coredhcp/coredhcp/plugins/dns
2019/11/21 23:32:04 Generated file '/tmp/coredhcp547019106/coredhcp.go'. You can build it by running 'go build' in the output directory.
```
You can also specify the plugin list on the command line, or mix it with
`--from`:
```
$ ./coredhcp-generator --from core-plugins.txt \
github.com/coredhcp/plugins/redis
```
Notice that it created a file called `coredhcp.go` in a temporary directory. You
can now `go build` that file and have your own custom CoreDHCP.
## Bugs
CoreDHCP uses Go versioned modules. The generated file does not do that yet. We
will add this feature soon.
