Plugins

This is where we document the ins-and-outs of Codotype plugins.

Overview

A Codotype Plugin is a package that integrates with the Codotype runtime and generates code.

Templates

Brief template example:

class MovieReviewsController < ApplicationController

  # POST /movie_reviews
  def create
    @movieReview = MovieReview.new(params[:movie_review])
    @movieReview.save()
    redirect_to @movieReview
  end

end

How this looks as a Codotype template:

class <%= schema.tokens.plural.pascal %>Controller < ApplicationController

  # POST /<%= schema.tokens.plural.snake %>
  def create
    @<%= schema.tokens.singular.camel %> = <%= schema.tokens.singular.pascal %>.new(params[:<%= schema.tokens.singular.snake %>])
    @<%= schema.tokens.singular.camel %>.save()
    redirect_to @<%= schema.tokens.singular.camel %>
  end

end
