Allow using secondary type names in schemas

Question

eduardbosch opened this issue 6 years ago · comments

Hi,

I've found that the FlatBuffersSchemaEditor does not support the secondary type names in the schemas. By secondary names I mean the names in parenthesis in the types section here https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/flatbuffers_guide_writing_schema.html

I had a schema that used uint8 and I had to change it to ubyte in order to compile.

Would be nice to support all types.

Thanks

Hi Eduard thanks for reporting. How time critical is the fix for you?

It's not really important, as I've compiled my scheme changing the type names. I've reported it only as an enhancement that would be nice to have 😉

I introduced new code generator written in Swift which supports secondary type names.

@eduardbosch please let me know if you have any issues with the new code generator
