We are pleased to announce another release of CodeGen, once again including some significant advances in the technology. We recommend that all developers using CodeGen, and especially developers working with Harmony Core, should upgrade to this latest version as soon as possible. This new version includes these changes and enhancements:
- We added a new custom token <HARMONYCORE_PARAMETER_SAMPLE_DATA> to the Harmony Core extensions assembly.
- We added a new custom token <HARMONYCORE_BRIDGE_PARAMETER_DATAOBJECT> to the Harmony Core extensions assembly.
- We altered the implementation of <HARMONYCORE_BRIDGE_PARAMETER_DEFINITION> which was preciously not dealing correctly with array and collection parameters.
- We removed the lower-case option from the <PARAMETER_DEFINITION> token.
- We added a new token <PARAMETER_DEFINITION_NOARRAY>.
- We added a new tweak named PARAMDEFSTR which causes the <PARAMETER_ATTRIBUTE>, <PARAMETER_DEFINITION>, <PARAMETER_DEFINITION_NOARRAY>, <PARAMETER_STRUCTURE>, <PARAMETER_STRUCTURE_NOPLURAL> and <PARAMETER_STRUCTURE_PLURAL> tokens to prefix structure names with “STR_”.
- We corrected an issue in the recently introduced <PARAMETER_ATTRIBUTE> token which was generating incorrect output for some types of fields.
- We corrected an issue in the <PARAMETER_DEFINITION> token which was generating incorrect output for some types of fields.
- We corrected an issue with the <SEGMENT_SPEC> token that was previously producing incorrect results for boolean fields.
- We added experimental support for generating TypeScript code by adding the field loop tokens <FIELD_TSDEFAULT> and <FIELD_TSTYPE>. More work is required before these new capabilities will be fully effective.
- We undertook some performance analysis work in the area of code generation from Synergy Method Catalogs, and as a result, reworked some code to improve performance in this area. There is still more to be done, but generating code from method catalogs is now noticeably faster in most cases.
- This version of CodeGen was built with Synergy/DE 11.1.1g and requires a minimum of version 10.1.1 to operate.
