Customizations for Code Generation #436

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
A simple example would be adding a space between a function name and its 
argument list. We could also make this language-specific, which would be 
especially useful for languages like Ruby.

Other options could be to create a 'lean' API just including certain methods, 
or excluding certain methods

Other useful customizations include
  For generation of diagrams (Yuml, Graphviz etc.) show or hide attributes and methods

The generate statement and generate command line specification need a 
consistent way to specify options.

For example

generate Java -simple;
or
java -jar umple.har -g Java --simple;

might omit non-essential API.

Various other issues suggest adding additional capabilities, for example issue 
232 suggests generating a main method, which could be an option; issue 367 
suggests adding methods for navigation, issue 242 suggests adding clone able. 
Generating persistence could also be done in various ways using options.

For invocation on the command line and using a generate statement, we have 
decided that we will specify options using -s opt1 opt2, etc. -s opt1 -s opt2

The options can be arbitrary strings and each generator will interpret them, 
and raise any error messages if they make no sense.

This will require changing the grammar of generate_path to allow for this, and 
also the setup of simple opts to allow the command line options.

For example to generate no attributes in the GvClassDiagram generator, we would 
specify

On the command line:
-g GvClassDiagram -s noattributes

or in the file
generate GvClassDiagram  -s noattributes

In generate methods such as in Generator_CodeGvClassDiagram.ump the programmer 
ought to be able to call a method 'getGenerateOptions' that would return a map 
of key-value pairs which would have 'no attributes' null

The generator would then do what it wants with the options (if any) it finds.
