Automatically generate code from models

What is needed to automatically generate code?

Object model The “formula” for creating the code High-level structure that describes part of an application. Defines data objects, state transitions, process interactions, etc.

Template file The “storehouse” of classes, or “ingredients” required by user

to generate code for multiple languages and/or platforms Defines a set of code patterns, which provide code fragments

and algorithms needed to instantiate the object model.

SourceMill Synthesizes Model requirements with Template’s classes Automatically generates clean code for the object model based

on the template file.

Automatically generate code from models

Automatic code generation

Object model The “Formula”. Provides

SourceMill with a framework. Tells what objects, or

ingredients, it needs from Template, and how they should be put together.

Template A “storehouse” of all classes

available for languages and platforms defined by user.

Code generation engine Synthesizes Model &

Template by extracting from Template classes, or ingredients, defined in Model for target language and/or platform.
