Customize (goa gen) output folder

[aenawi]

Is it possible to customize the goa gen command to generate all files into a specific folder other than gen?

Currently I already have a ./gen folder used for other frameworks as well, so if I regenerate Goa code, the folder will be deleted completely and recreated all over! Any other sub folders will be deleted as well! I want one common ./gen directory, but Goa will add another sub /gen/gen folder, so the folder will look like this:

./gen/gen/<goa services subfolders>

Why does Goa force the gen subfolder name?!

What I'm expecting is that Goa will generate all services' folders under the defined directory using -o arg. For example:

$ go gen myproject/design -o ./gen/goa

Goa should create all services' directories under ./gen/goa without adding another gen subfolder. Running the above command will help me keep my dbmodels under gen directory:

~/myproject/gen/goa
~/myproject/gen/dbmodels

Any hints please?

Hello,

Goa does not currently allow specifying a different name for the gen directory. Part of it is that the name of the directory defines the name of the Go package when import statements do not explicitly set it so making that configurable affects the generated code.
