Generation of field initializers and methods body at JVM Inferring [message #757399]

Hello

I'm starting with XText and I'm a bit lost. I want to create an initializer for fields with a default value and generate body for methods with "default code". How can I archived this?

I found that an initializer can be assigned to JvmField with "initilalization()", but I don't now how to create the parameter "strategy" that is of type Function1<ImportManager, ? extends CharSequence>.

Thanks!

Hey,

I am also new to Xtext but it seems to be a closure, an inline function. At that point, you should be able to implement Function1<ImportManager, ? extends CharSequence> by writing

[importMngr, str | doYourInitializationThing(importMngr, str)]

.

regards,
Max

No,

it is actually (in a dummy case hardcoded)

[im|'''1.0''']

you may have a look at org.eclipse.xtext.xtend2.jvmmodel.Xtend2JvmModelInferrer.transform(XtendFunction, JvmGenericType)

And here a example with a real dynamic expression

val field = f.toField(f.name, f.type)
field.initialization([im|{val x = new StringBuilderBasedAppendable(im)
xbaseCompiler.toJavaExpression(f.initExpression,x)
'''«x.toString»'''
}])

By Xtext 2.3.1 things have changed a bit. In case it's useful to somebody:

toField(name, type) [
  val Procedure1<ITreeAppendable> proc = [append('''new java.util.BitSet(«dataDef.fields.size»)''')]
  initializer = proc
]

By the way, could I do anything if I wanted to add BitSet to imports and write simply "new BitSet"?

Hi,

I have been experimenting similar things recently.
Just a hint from what I understood : I guess you could at least generate the import statement using an injected TypeReferenceSerializer. The serialize() method appends the type name to the TreeAppendable but also deals with the import manager if needed.

I mean something like the following :

@Inject extension TypeReferenceSerializer

...

f.toField(name, type) [
  val Procedure1<ITreeAppendable> proc = [
     append('''new ''')
     newTypeRef('java.util.BitSet').serialize(f,it)
     append('''(«dataDef.fields.size»)''')
    ]
  initializer = proc
]

Regards,
Pascal
