Staempfli AG - Universal Code Generator Tool

Universal Code Generator Tool

, _(*1)

This tool can be used as base for creating code generators for specific frameworks, _(*2)

Usage

1. Create your own generator project:, _(*3)

   • Check an example here: magento2-code-generator

2. Add this project as dependency, _(*4)

   composer require "staempfli/universal-code-generator":"~1.0"
   composer update
   

3. Copy needed default configuration file, _(*5)

   • $ cp vendor/staempfli/universal-code-generator/config/default-properties.yml.dist config/default-properties.yml

4. You need to create a PHP script to define the console application:, _(*6)

   • We recommend to do that into the bin folder, _(*7)

     cd bin && vim <command_name>, _(*8)

   • Add the following content to this file:, _(*9)

   #!/usr/bin/env php
   <?php
   $composerAutoload = __DIR__ . '/../../../autoload.php';
   
   if (file_exists($composerAutoload)) {
       require_once $composerAutoload;
   } else {
       require_once __DIR__ . ' /../vendor/autoload.php';
   }
   
   /**
   * Shortcut constant for the project root directory
   */
   define('BP', dirname(__DIR__));
   /**
   * Command name
   */
   define('COMMAND_NAME', basename(__FILE__));
   
   // Init Console Application
   use Staempfli\UniversalGenerator\Application;
   
   $application = new Application('@git-version@');
   
   /**
   * You can add new commands or extend exiting ones to add custom functionality
   * - Check default commands in Staempfli\UniversalGenerator\Application
   * - To add or extend commands you must use the method $application->addGeneratorCommand
   */
   // $application->addGeneratorCommand('template:generate', 'VendorName\ProjectName\Command\TemplateGenerateCommand');
   
   $application->run();
   

5. Usually you might want to extend the default template:generate command. You can do that as follows:, _(*10)
