Universal Code Generator Tool

This tool can be used as base for creating code generators for specific frameworks

Usage

0. Create your own generator project:

   • Check an example here: magento2-code-generator

1. Add this project as dependency

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

2. Copy needed default configuration file

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

3. You need to create a PHP script to define the console application:

   • We recommend to do that into the bin folder

     cd bin && vim <command_name>

   • Add the following content to this file:

   #!/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();
   

4. Usually you might want to extend the default template:generate command. You can do that as follows:

   • Extend Template Generate Command

5. Create the templates that will be generated:
