[Xpand] Hiding Xpand template from user [message #1089124]

Hi everybody,
I'm new with xpand. I have a plug-in code generator with inputs: project, model, xpand template. This plug-in work well if input project includes input model and input xpand template.
My mission is hiding xpand from users, they just need to configure value for input model, and non-touching xpand template.
My solution: Develop a java code inside plug-in to generate xpand template outside the plugin then it will assemble model and run code generation.
Is my solution is possible? If so, where are difficult parts in this way? Are there any other possible solutions for my mission?
Thanks you very much for your time

Hi Jack,

of course this is possible. You would use the XpandFacade invoked from your plugin code (maybe encapsuled in an Action).
The "critical" part is resource loading of your Xpand templates. By default, Xpand uses the classpath to resolve resources. This is usually not the right path to follow when invoking from plugin code. So the XpandExecutionContext needs a specialized ResourceManager, which loads resources from the bundle.

Good luck!
