- black (
pip install black) - prettier (
npm install prettier -g)
- From entity description, generate entity classes and entity managers. (Django, TypeScript)
- Generate code via AST library?
- Generate communication methods between frameworks. (REST)
- Support for languages/frameworks must be extendible. (SQL, Java, JavaScript)
- Support for communication methods must be extendible. (WebSockets)
- Must support adding of custom methods. (Q: add them within the entity description versus manually within the generated code?)
- Configurable: specify where code must be generated.
- Command line support for updating entities.
- Support for migrations. (only necessary for persistent frameworks like SQL?)
- Support for authorization.
Notes:
-
somehow keep track of Python dependencies and generate right imports?
-
mapping from entity field to concrete field: explicitely given, type map, default field for type
-
field configuration: max characters etc -> also work with defaults and fallbacks (same hierarchy as field-mapping)
-
provide default filename
-
how to specify whether entities should be in seperate files or not? (might also not always be possible! -> language dependent)
-
how to handle multiple generations for one entity? (e.g. JSONEvent, Event, InitialEvent, each with its own field-mapping??)
-
handle renaming of variables (default, specify yourself) -> camelCase, pascal_case, ... (use common casing scripts?)
-
language-specific options (e.g. Java: package)
-
support optional fields?
-
get example with relations!
