Take an integer typed in the DSL and generate a java variable with it [message #1052902]

Hi,

So I have my DSL setup

Game:
	{Game}('speed' speed+=Time+ 'end')?('size' sizes+=Size+ 'end')?;
	

Time:
	 value=INT;
	
Size:
	 value=INT;

so when the user types speed 1000 size 20 I want my generated Java s src to atore these values in a variable but I cant get it to work.

Im using xTend to generaet my code and ive tried a number of different ways but I dont know how to grab the value in xTend and then pass it into my java block.

I wrote a method

		def gameSpeed(Time speed) '''
		 var speed = «speed.value»(){}
		 return speed)
	'''

that seemed to get the value, but when i tried to use it, the generated code would literally display
'temp = car speed = 1000()[]' in the source file rather than
temp = 1000;

Hi,

in your DSL Speed is a list. (speed+=Time+)

Ah that makes sense, I got it to work using a for loop which calls the method

«FOR c : g.speed»
				«c.gameSpeed»
			«ENDFOR»


	def gameSpeed(Time speed) '''
		 int gameSpeed = «speed.value» ;

What Christian meant is that you might not want a list, and just a single value. And your code confirms that for me, since you unlikely want to declare mutiple variables "gameSpeed".

So change to:

Game:
	{Game}('speed' speed=Time 'end')?('size' sizes+=Size+ 'end')?;
	

Time:
	 value=INT;
	
Size:
	 value=INT;

-----------------------------------------
int gameSpeed = «g.speed.value» ;
