Rainbow JS CodeGeneration

Installation

npm i rainbow-js-codegeneration --saveDev

API

---

The module exposes one method generate that accepts options object as a parameter

import { generator, IOptions } from 'rainbow-js-codegeneration';
//...
const options: IOptions = {
  cwd: path,
  pattern,
};

const result = await generator(options);
//...

generate(options)

This method search for files based on pattern provided, read them and construct templates objects. Once processing is done it complies Handlebars template and generates C# code.

options:

• cwd: string (required) - defines a root directory for a glob search;
• pattern: string|string[] (required) - defines a pattern for the glob search;
• templatePath: string (default: standard template for GlassMapper embedded) - path to a Handlebars template file that will process templates info.;
• Using: string[] - a list of using that should be rendered in the header of the file;
• ToClass: function(name:string) (default: PascalCase class name) - overrides a logic that generates class names;
• ToInterface: function(name:string) (default: class name prepended with 'I')- overrides a logic that generates interface names;
• ToNamespace: function(path:string) (default: section of a path excluding /sitecore/templates and template name) - overrides a logic that generates namespace names;
• ToProperty: function(name:string) (default: PascalCase property name)- overrides a logic that generates property names from field names;
• ToPropertyType: function(type:string, id:string) (default: simple mapping to available types in GlassMapper) - extends logic related to mapping of a fields to C# tpe of a property. If return undefined will fall back to default.

context

The method will compile provided or embedded template and pass two objects there templates and options

Sample of a template file:

#pragma warning disable 1591
#pragma warning disable 0108

Template Helpers

guid-b: will convert text to UPPER CASE and wrap in { }. Could be used to emulate output of C# method .ToString("B")

{{guid-b this.ID}}
{{! will return "{00000000-ABCD-0000-0000-000000000000}"}}

guid-d: will convert text to UPPER CASE. Could be used to emulate output of C# method .ToString("D")

{{guid-b this.ID}}
{{! will return "00000000-ABCD-0000-0000-000000000000"}}

Gulp integration

generationPlugin()

The library provides a Gulp plugin. The plugin will generate code file for each configuration file detected. See example below:

// other imports
var codeGen = require('rainbow-js-codegeneration').generationPlugin;

// code generation task
gulp.task("Generate-Code", function (callback) {
  gulp.src('**/codegeneration.config.js', { base: "./" })
    .pipe(codeGen())
    .pipe(rename(function (path) {
      path.basename = "Templates.Generated";
      path.extname = ".cs"
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./'))
    .on("end", function () { // will make sure that you wait for generation to finish
      callback();
    });
});

Configuration

Configuration of the library could be provided via JS module. See example below:

var path = require("path");

module.exports = {
  cwd: path.join(__dirname, '..'),
  pattern: '**/serialization/*.Templates/**/*.yml',
  Using: [ 'System.CodeDom.Compiler' ],
  templatePath: path.join(__dirname, 'codegeneration.tmpl'),
}

Available scripts

• clean - remove coverage data, Jest cache and transpiled files,
• build - transpile TypeScript to ES6,
• watch - interactive watch mode to automatically transpile source files,
• lint - lint source files and tests,
• test - run tests,
• test:watch - interactive watch mode to automatically re-run tests
