Generate models to different languages based on Doctype.
During development, the doctypes are defined usually by the backend team. Front-end development teams will require to write the models for these doctypes in the front-end as models which usually counts much as manual and repetitive task.
Since it's repetitive and somewhat an annoying task, I saw an opportunity to some extent automate this task with some minor configurations in the doctype and refactoring in the frontend which will hopefully reduce the time wasted achieving this task.
- Model Generator
- Language Model Configuration
A doctype to configure the templates and data types for each language. By default, there are two fixtures defined:
- Dart/Flutter
- TS/JS
Configurations include:
- Data Type Map. For instance,
Datafieldtype is aStringin Dart/Flutter. - Variable and type template. For instance for Dart:
which results in:
{{fieldtype}} {{fieldname}};String fullName; - Signature Start which indicates the beginning of the model like class or interface.
- Signature End which indicates the end of the model of a class or interface.
- Child Doctype Template which indicates the representation of a child doctype in a model. For instance in Dart:
which results in:
List<{{child_doctype}}>List<Role> roles;
- To Camel Case which converts the field names from the standard naming in Frappé, snake-case, to camel-case which is the convention, Dart, for instance.
- Decorator (Only used if To Camel Case is checked where this is used for languages (Dart or C#, for instance), to convert the naming between backend and frontend.
In addition to utilizing this app through Frappé UI, it can also be utilized using an endpoint (POST). Example:
