Design you features easily with JSON and use available code blueprints to generate your codes.
Clone the repo.
Install npm dependencies.
Open extension development host with F5 or run from Debug tab
In the opened host vs code session, open the samples folder
Open vs code Settings and update solo.templateDirectory to templates if not set already. This will use local sample template.
Use the Feature to manage model entities and the Code Tree panel to see the generated code structure from you models based on sample template.
Install extension from marketplace. COMING SOON.
Copy sample templates from samples to templates under directory of your choice (Default is Documents/templates under the current user profile). You should change vscode setting for solo.templateDirectory to point to the changed location.
NOTE: This is going to be automated in the future. Something similar to package managers:
solo i <unique_templlate_name> -v <optional_version>
The following steps describe the details of setting up solution and models. You can copy files from samples folder if you don't need to follow them.
Build your solution config and save it as solo.config under a folder called models in your working directory. This is the main file that controls the whole solution/ project.
{
"name": "Project X",
"description": "",
"features": [
{
"name": "Frontend Example",
"model": "models/model1",
"implementations": [ { "template": "reactjs-sample" } ]
}
],
"templates": {
"reactjs-sample": "1.0"
}
}Designing a feature is as simple as building class and property definitions. But, you are not limited to following ER design style as long as your code blueprints properly consume them.
Save the following code in a folder called models with filename model1.json.
{
"id": "model1",
"name": "Feature 1",
"description": "test1",
"solution": "SoloTest",
"context": "Feature1",
"entities": [
{
"name": "Order",
"aggregate": "Order",
"description": "An order from customer",
"properties": [
{
"name": "Name",
"description": "Name",
"type": "String",
"required": true
},
{
"name": "Status",
"description": "Status",
"type": "int"
},
{
"name": "OrderLines",
"description": "OrderLines",
"type": "OrderLine",
"array": true
},
{
"name": "Remarks",
"description": "Remarks",
"type": "String"
}
]
},
{
"name": "OrderLine",
"aggregate": "Order",
"description": "Item in an order.",
"properties": [
{
"name": "ProductId",
"description": "String",
"type": "int"
},
{
"name": "ProductName",
"description": "Product name at time of ordering",
"type": "String"
},
{
"name": "Quantity",
"description": "Quantity",
"type": "int"
},
{
"name": "UnitPrice",
"description": "Unit Price",
"type": "Decimal"
},
{
"name": "OrderId",
"description": "OrderId",
"type": "String"
}
]
}
]
}Check out your models in feature design view. You can also see code generator preview as code-tree. Click on Refresh button after changes in model.
