Using both AbstractModelInferrer and IGenerator implementations [message #1053825] Tue, 07 May 2013 18:34 Go to next message

I created a gammar for a language I am constructing using Xtext and I would like to add a code generator. At first I need to generate Java code so a AbstractModelInferer is most appropriate and at last I need to generate Xtend code so I guess a IGenerator would be more appopriate. Is it possible to have both generators (ModelInferer and IGenerator) in the same Xtext project?

I tried creating both, but only the IGenerator implementation have been used. To use a IGenerator implementation I added a method to my RuntimeModule class to inject a instance of my IGenerator implementation.

In addition, I would like to learn more details about the AbstractModelInferer but it is hard to find detailed information on how to use it. Is there any tutorial that could help me?

Thanks in advance,

As far as I understand you want to use both JvmModelGenerator (which is
the default generator relying on the JvmModelInferrer which is
automatically bound when using Xbase) and an additional custom generator
to generate other things?

If so you can implement your own generator strategies in, say,
MyCustomGenerator, and then bind another generator (say MyDslGenerator)
which delegates to both JvmModelGenerator and MyCustomGenerator (both
instances must be injected).

For instance

class MyDslGenerator implements IGenerator {
@Inject JvmModelGenerator g1
@Inject MyCustomGenerator g2

generate(...) {
g1.generate(...)
g2.generate(...)
}
}

and in the runtime module you bind MyDslGenerator.

hope this helps
Lorenzo

Alternatively you can subclass jvmmodelgenerator and add a dispatch method for the root of your model.

e.g. http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/473491/1038310/#msg_1038310

Ok, got it. However, how would I delegate a call to the infer method:
infer(Entity element, IJvmDeclaredTypeAcceptor acceptor, boolean isPreIndexingPhase)

in my JVMModelInferrer?

I only have access to the params of the method doGenerate(Resource input, IFileSystemAccess fsa) ... so how would extract a IJvmDeclaredTypeAcceptor from Resource input given in the doGenerate method?

Thanks for attention,

I i am not talking about the inferrer.

i mean JvmModelGenerator that is bound as IGenerator by default

Leandro:
Here's how I use IGenerator & Inferrer together
... it was not that easy

- create an IOutputConfigurationProvider
public class YourOutputProvider implements IOutputConfigurationProvider {
	
	public static final String DEFAULT = "DEFAULT_OUTPUT";
	public static final String OTHER = "OTHER";
	
	@Override
	public Set<OutputConfiguration> getOutputConfigurations() {
		OutputConfiguration defaultOutput = new OutputConfiguration(DEFAULT);
	    defaultOutput.setDescription("Default Folder");
	    defaultOutput.setOutputDirectory("./src-gen");
	    defaultOutput.setOverrideExistingResources(true);
	    defaultOutput.setCreateOutputDirectory(true);
	    defaultOutput.setCleanUpDerivedResources(true);
	    defaultOutput.setSetDerivedProperty(true);

	    OutputConfiguration otherOutput = new OutputConfiguration(OTHER);
	    otherOutput.setDescription("Other Folder");
	    otherOutput.setOutputDirectory("./src-gen/other");
	    otherOutput.setOverrideExistingResources(true);
	    otherOutput.setCreateOutputDirectory(true);
	    otherOutput.setCleanUpDerivedResources(true);
	    otherOutput.setSetDerivedProperty(true);
	}


notice the properties you can set: overrideExistingResources,...

- create an Adapter
public class OutputConfigurationAdapter implements Adapter {

	private String outputConfigurationName;

	public OutputConfigurationAdapter(String outputConfigurationName) {
		this.outputConfigurationName = outputConfigurationName;
	}

	public String getOutputConfigurationName() {
		return outputConfigurationName;
	}

	@Override
	public void notifyChanged(Notification notification) {
	}

	@Override
	public Notifier getTarget() {
		return null;
	}

	@Override
	public void setTarget(Notifier newTarget) {
	}

	@Override
	public boolean isAdapterForType(Object type) {
		return false;
	}

}


- create an IFileSystemAccess
public class OutputConfigurationFileSystemAccess implements IFileSystemAccess,
		IFileSystemAccessExtension, IFileSystemAccessExtension2 {
	protected IFileSystemAccess fsa;
	protected String outputConfigurationName;

	protected OutputConfigurationFileSystemAccess(IFileSystemAccess fsa,
			String outputConfigurationName) {
		this.fsa = fsa;
		this.outputConfigurationName = outputConfigurationName;
	}

	@Override
	public void generateFile(String fileName, CharSequence contents) {
		fsa.generateFile(fileName, outputConfigurationName, contents);
	}

	@Override
	public void generateFile(String fileName, String outputConfiguration,
			CharSequence contents) {
		fsa.generateFile(fileName, outputConfigurationName, contents);
	}

	@Override
	public void deleteFile(String fileName) {
		deleteFile(fileName, outputConfigurationName);
	}

	@Override
	public void deleteFile(String fileName,
			String ignoredOutputConfigurationName) {
		((IFileSystemAccessExtension) fsa).deleteFile(fileName,
				outputConfigurationName);
	}

	@Override
	public URI getURI(String fileName, String outputConfiguration) {
		return ((IFileSystemAccessExtension2) fsa).getURI(fileName,
				outputConfigurationName);
	}

	@Override
	public URI getURI(String fileName) {
		return ((IFileSystemAccessExtension2) fsa).getURI(fileName,
				outputConfigurationName);
	}
}


- create your IGenerator
class YourIGenerator implements IGenerator {

	
	override doGenerate(Resource input, IFileSystemAccess fsa) {
		...
	}



- create your Inferrer
class YourModelInferrer extends AbstractModelInferrer {

  	def dispatch void infer(Foo foo, IJvmDeclaredTypeAcceptor acceptor, boolean isPreIndexingPhase) {
		var fooClass = foo.toClass(foo.name)
		fooClass.eAdapters.add(new OutputConfigurationAdapter(YourOutputProvider::DEFAULT))
		acceptor.accept(fooClass)
				.initializeLater([ 
					....
				])
				
		var barClass = foo.toClass(foo.name)
		barClass.eAdapters.add(new OutputConfigurationAdapter(YourOutputProvider::OTHER))
		acceptor.accept(fooClass)
				.initializeLater([ 
					// nothing to do here done in YourIGenerator
				])


adding the different eAdapters is important here cfr YourOutputProvider::DEFAULT & YourOutputProvider::OTHER



- create an JvmModelGenerator
public class YourJvmModelGenerator extends JvmModelGenerator {
	
	@Inject private YourGenerator generator;
	
	@Override
	public void doGenerate(Resource input, IFileSystemAccess fsa) {
	    EList<EObject> contents = input.getContents();
	    for (final EObject obj : contents) {
	      String outputConfiguration = null;
	      for (Adapter adapter : obj.eAdapters()) {
	        if (adapter instanceof OutputConfigurationAdapter) {
	          outputConfiguration = ((OutputConfigurationAdapter) adapter).getOutputConfigurationName();
	          break;
	        }
	      }
	      if (outputConfiguration == YourOutputProvider.DEFAULT) {
	        this.internalDoGenerate(obj, fsa); // <= GOTO INFERRER
	      } else if (outputConfiguration == YourOutputProvider.OTHER) {
	        generator.doGenerate(input, fsa); // <= GOTO IGENERATOR
	      }  
	    }
	  }
	
}

here you make the switch to your Inferrer & Igenerator

- configure your RuntimeModule
	@Override
	public void configure(Binder binder) {
		super.configure(binder);
		binder.bind(IOutputConfigurationProvider.class)
        .to(YourOutputProvider.class)
        .in(Singleton.class);
	}

	@Override
	public Class<? extends IGenerator> bindIGenerator() {
		return OutputConfigurationAwaredGenerator.class;
	}

Oh, I think because in your case you needed to generate differently
according to specific inferred elements (I had missed that part)... in
my case I just wanted to generate also xml besides Java code so I did
not need to specify different output configurations right in the inferrer...

Great answer Dirk. It works like a champ.

Thanks for all other answer. They helped me a lot to understand better the code generation process.
