Interface Generator

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultGenerator, PatternPrinter

public interface Generator

Generates code from patterns. The core idea is to replace pattern parameters by objects.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
<T extends CtElement> java.util.List<T>	generate(ImmutableMap params) Utility method that provides the same feature as generate(Map), but with a ImmutableMap as parameter (a Spoon elegant utility type)
<T extends CtElement> java.util.List<T>	generate(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> params) Main method to generate a new AST made from substituting of parameters by the values in `params`
<T extends CtType<?>> T	generate(java.lang.String typeQualifiedName, java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> params) Generates a type with qualified name `typeQualifiedName` by replacing the generator parameters with the arguments given in `params`.
Factory	getFactory()

Method Detail

getFactory

Factory getFactory()

Returns:

a Factory, which has to be used to generate instances

generate

<T extends CtElement> java.util.List<T> generate(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> params)

Main method to generate a new AST made from substituting of parameters by the values in `params`

Parameters:

params - - the substitution parameters, it can be CtElement, primitive literals like String, Integer, ... and or List or Set of them.

Returns:

List of generated elements

generate

<T extends CtElement> java.util.List<T> generate(ImmutableMap params)

Utility method that provides the same feature as generate(Map), but with a ImmutableMap as parameter (a Spoon elegant utility type)

generate

<T extends CtType<?>> T generate(java.lang.String typeQualifiedName,
                                 java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> params)

Generates a type with qualified name `typeQualifiedName` by replacing the generator parameters with the arguments given in `params`. Note: the root element of pattern must be a CtType.

Parameters:

typeQualifiedName - the qualified name of to be generated type

params - the pattern parameters

Returns:

the generated type
