Add an option to initiate the front end

[thomaspeugeot]

Sometime the front end project is not necessary (no need for the API).

    initiateFrontApi = flag.Bool("initiateFrontApi", false, "generate <pkgname> project in the ng workspace, and then generate at each compilation, unless  <pkgname> project directory is suppressed 

Alternative:

• A: "Magic Code" : Magic code somewhere to tell to generate the front or not generate the front
• B: "Compiler option: initiateFrontApi" to generate the front code and then generate unless the project directory is suppressed.
• C: "Compiler option: noModelFrontCode" to generate the front code but with no generation of the API related to the model.

A:

• minus: magic code is a departure from "pure go code" approach, maintenance is complex.

• minus: no obvious place to put the magic code. Within the docs.go file ? It is a generated file.

• Maybe in .frontignore file that provides a pattern for parsing go files similar to the gitingore syntax "*"

Let's try this solution. It is more maintainable that magic code or compiler options.

• [x] create a .frontignore file with "*.go"
• [ ] add a field IsIgnoredForFront bool
• [ ] during LoadSource, compile the .frontignore file and set IsIgnoredForFront (gitignore "github.com/sabhiram/go-gitignore")
• [ ] for each of the 4 generators for front end, add a condition after "HasNamedField" with IsIgnoredForFront
