Generate equivalent Java statement from XBlockExpression using IGenerator [message #1070547]

Hi All,

I am new to Xtext. I am using Xtext to understand my dsl language and from the DSL entered I will be generating code(java) based on the input dsl entered.

In the same dsl along with my own customized language I am using functions to apply conditions on some elements, where function body is of XBlockExpression type.

Function:
{Function}
'function' name=QualifiedName '(' (params+=FullJvmFormalParameter (',' params+=FullJvmFormalParameter)*)? ')'
':' type = JvmTypeReference
body=XBlockExpression
;
I can get the java equivalent of the function using MyDslJvmModelInferrer.xtend, but whatever code I am generating is not a typical JavaBean type class where I have getters, setters etc, rather I have to write other different stuffs. For that I have to write textual content into the template.

For the above reason I am using MyDslGenerator.xtend to generate java file which supports textual file templating and I am successfully generation my code. But when I process my function I get the body as XEpression object and not finding a way get java equivalent of the function body inside my generator Sad

.

Is there a way to extract the java equivalent from a XBlockExpression inside MyDslGenerator.xtend ?

Looking for your help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

how about injecting the XbaseCompiler and let it do the work.

Hi Alex,
I did try that. I injected XbaseCompiler and I see there are two methods: toJavaStatement() and toJavaExpression but they need ITreeAppendable as argument. How can I construct that.

def compileFunction(Function funct)'''
«xbaseCompiler.toJavaExpression(funct.body, ITreeAppendable)»
'''

OR
def compileFunction(Function funct)'''
«xbaseCompiler.toJavaStatement(funct.body, ITreeAppendable, boolean isReferenced)»
'''
I am stuck at ITreeAppendable. How Can I construct a object of TreeAppendable ana pass it to the xbaseCompiler ?

Is there a different API that can get me equivalent java statements from XExpression ?

A code snippet will be helpful.

Don't construct one, I expect the code is already inside a closure with one, like the body assignment:

body = [ append('''Hello''') ]

is short for

body = [ it.append('''Hello''') ]

and 'it' is your ITreeAppendable.
