Okay, so I stumbled upon this “ty perkins” thing today, and I figured, why not give it a shot? I’ve been meaning to mess around with some new tools, and this seemed like as good a time as any.

Getting Started
First, I needed to find what is it, I just searched on google, and I found something look like a command-line tool. I go it’s offical website and tried to follow the install instrutions.
I ran into a little hiccup * shows that needed to install something call “carog”,It seems that I need install Rust first.
Digging Deeper
After I installed rust and cargo, I ran the command again, and boom, it’s worked! So, I tried to use command `typer –help` check the usage.
It seems it’s a tool to generate different program language file.

Experimenting
I decided to play around with some basic stuff.I created a simple json file,it define a simple table with some columns,and I typed in `typer -i * -o *`, and it created a Go struct. That was pretty neat!
Then,I wanted to generate other file type, so I used the same input file and tried other output,like `typer -i * -o *` and `typer -i * -o *`, and,it’s all done!
My Thoughts
Honestly, this “ty perkins” tool seems pretty handy. It’s still early days for me, but I can see how this could save some time,I plan on using it more in future.
