Code Generator

The Framework pipeline is oriented to HTML generation. It’s not suitable for other types of code generation, such as SQL tables or TypeScript interfaces. To handle other, more general outputs that are not based on a HTML tree, use the CodeGenerator infrastructure.

To implement your own code generator you’ll have to implement the DatatypeGenerator_[datatype] classes. There’s a script that will generate the scaffolding for you:

./composer.phar make:codegenerator -- MyGenerator

If you are doing this for your own project, you can run instead:

bash vendor/corollarium/formularium/util/makeCodeGenerator.sh MyTargetName

Which will generate all classes for all non-abstract datatypes, and the main CodeGenerator class itself.
