Hi Hernan, I wrote some time ago two basic code generators (both in Pharo) from UML-ified FAMIX for a particular user (so there are some domain-specific patterns), one for Pharo syntax ( https://github.com/OpenPonk/class-editor/blob/master/docs/code-generation/uml-to-code.md ) and one for VW syntax ( https://github.com/OpenPonk/class-editor/blob/master/docs/vw-code-generation/pim-psm.md )
(the code is here https://github.com/OpenPonk/class-editor/tree/master/repository/DynaCASE-Generator.package and here https://github.com/OpenPonk/class-editor/tree/master/repository/UML-CodeGenerator.package ) The most pain I had was with expressing templateable code to which I could just plug specific data, I wanted to look at QVT but didn't have the time yet. But it would be interesting to see if your generator could address such issues; plus soon I want to iterate on my generators to have more live interaction (so the code is generated on the fly as the model is created, although I am using Pharo Refactoring engine for now, which is also quite powerful.) Addionally, Lionel (in cc) is working on some meta system generating classes with magritte descriptions. So it would be cool if we could have some really cool generator that could do many cool things. :) Peter On Tue, Oct 18, 2016 at 02:24:28AM -0300, Hernán Morales Durand wrote: > Hi guys, > > I am writing a code generator, doing a few iterations right now. > I want your opinion, which most useful thing would you like to be generated > automatically?
