Predefined lambdas

Lambdas are special tags which invoke a predefined function named after the tag. The function receives the template fragment between the tags. More info about lambdas can be found here

We support the following pre-defined lambdas at the moment:

lambda	example	description
lowercase	{{#lowercase}}{{name}}{{/lowercase}}	Convert to lowercase
uppercase	{{#uppercase}}{{name}}{{/uppercase}}	Convert to UPPERCASE
snakecase	{{#snakecase}}{{name}}{{/snakecase}}	Convert to snake_case
pascalcase	{{#pascalcase}}{{name}}{{/pascalcase}}	Convert to PascalCase
camelcase	{{#camelcase}}{{name}}{{/camelcase}}	Convert to camelCase
kebabcase	{{#kebabcase}}{{name}}{{/kebabcase}}	Convert to kebab-case

Custom generators

Some languages have various reserved words or unusual way of formatting arguments. Sometimes custom lambdas are needed to solve the issues. A custom generator is simply a javascript module, for example:

const Hogan = require('hogan.js');

const RESERVED_WORDS = new Set([
    'for'
]);

function sanitizeName(text) {
    return "__"+text+"__"
}

function escapeReservedWord(text) {
    return "'"+text+"'"
}

function hello_lambda() {
    return function(text) {
      return 'Hello ' + Hogan.compile(text).render(this);
    }
}

function complex_lambda() {
    return function(template) {
        var path = Hogan.compile(template).render(this);
        path = this.pathParams.reduce(function (acc, param) {
            if (param.isPathParam) {
               return acc.replace(
                   "{"+param.paramName+"}", param.paramNamePascalCase);
            } else {
                return acc.replace()
            }
        }, path);
        return path.split("/").slice(1).join(", ")
    }
}

module.exports = {
    sanitizeName: sanitizeName,
    reservedWords: RESERVED_WORDS,
    escapeReservedWord: escapeReservedWord,
    lambdas: {
        hello: hello_lambda,
        path_template: complex_lambda
    }
};

The module has to be configured in your config under the generator property. Here is an example:

{
    "defaults": {
        "modelNaming": "snake_case",
    },
    "generator": "../mygenerator.js",
    "partials": {
    },
    "directories": [ "src" ],
    "transformations": [
    ],
    "perApi": [
    ],
    "perModel": [
    ]
}
