scalafix-codegen sbt-plugin?

Sorry, yet-another-upstream-idea 😁

The idea is basically to turn this example project into a plugin:
https://github.com/olafurpg/scalafix-codegen/blob/7fdaa50a94cc31ae7af2d2237c91bc9611b17fe1/build.sbt

I know it's a small snippet, but after copying it between a few projects gets old fast. So it would be cool to add it as a small plugin to sbt-scalafix, would that be of interest?

Keep them coming! I don't have a bandwidth to actively contribute these weeks (I have been reactive mostly), but I am definitely open to reviews.

For sure, a ScalafixCodegenPlugin would be nice. Happy to see the scenarios you use it for, and maybe discuss how the plugin would work for a client here in this issue before going to implementation mode. https://github.com/hamnis/dataclass-scalafix/blob/main/readme.md is also derived from the same snippet, taking into account semantic rules (I suspect/hope we can remove the need for 2 separate projects by making ScalafixCodegenPlugin & ScalafixPlugin coordinate somehow).

Awesome, thanks! We are using it for generating sources from GraphQL schema. And possibly in the future for enhancing Scala.js facades as well.

Thanks for the pointer to the other example, we are also currently using the two-project setup. That's interesting about removing the need for that, I didn't realize that could be possible. Interesting :)

In lieu of discussion here I might put up a draft PR, I don't understand the pieces here well enough without actually playing with the code.
