[Xcore] How to model a customized constructor [message #1263649]

Hello,

I'm trying out some features of Xcore and wondering if it is possible to customize or even model a constructor in Xcore-model?

My model looks like this:

package demo

class Person{
    String name
	
    op Person(String newName){
		this.name = newName
		
	}
}

And of course the model is not valid. Is there a possibility to achieve this by editing the model?

Alex,

There's no support for defining constructors. Generally instances are
created by the factory methods and those have no arguments so nothing in
the framework would ever call such a constructor...
