Advent of Code helper

You can also get the [JSON] for this private leaderboard. Please don't make frequent automated requests to this service - avoid sending requests more often than once every 15 minutes (900 seconds). If you do this from a script, you'll have to provide your session cookie in the request; a fresh session cookie lasts for about a month. Timestamps use Unix time.

Generate file/directory structure from template

Note: All file will be rendered with .tmpl extension and all directory will be created where there is at least one .tmpl file.

type templateVariables struct {
    Day  int
    Root string
}

err := aoc.Scaffold(
    templateDir,
    fmt.Sprintf("days/day%02d", dayNumber),
    templateVariables{
        Day:  dayNumber,
        Root: packageRoot,
    },
)
if err != nil {
    logrus.Errorln(err)
}
