Generator Settings

Generator Settings

Settings inherit from TGeneratorSettings, which supports UTF-8 Load and Save using the runtime's JSON serialization.

Delphi settings

• AddJsonPropertyAttributes (default: False) — adds explicit JSON-name mapping attributes where applicable.
• PostFixClassNames (default: False) — enables a suffix on generated class names.
• PostFix (default: DTO) — sets the suffix used when class postfixing is enabled.
• UsePascalCase (default: True) — converts generated identifiers to PascalCase.
• SuppressZeroDate (default: True) — adds zero-date suppression support to applicable fields.

ClassPostFix returns either the configured postfix or an empty string, according to PostFixClassNames.

C# settings

• NamespaceName (default: Generated) — sets the file-scoped namespace for generated types.
• UsePascalCase (default: True) — converts generated identifiers to PascalCase.
• UseNullableTypes (default: False) — enables nullable declarations where the model permits them.
• AddJsonPropertyNameAttributes (default: False) — emits JsonPropertyName mappings.
• UseRecords (default: False) — generates records instead of classes.
• GenerateImmutableClasses (default: False) — uses init-only property semantics.
• UseReadonlyLists (default: False) — exposes read-only list interfaces where supported.

Settings affect only the writer and naming policy. They must not change JSON validation or mutate the neutral model.

Persistence

Settings.Save('generator-settings.json');
Settings.Load('generator-settings.json');

Files are read and written as UTF-8. Because settings are regular TJsonDTO descendants, new published configuration properties participate in persistence automatically.
