Automatic generation of Composite<> classes with @Wire for all screen components

[isunagatov]

In each project, there is an XML with the description of all controls with CubaId.

It is necessary to use it for automatic generation of classes describing screens with all controls. Getters with the appropriate type of control must be created in these classes.

Get'er to form the pattern ”get” + "Control Type" + Cuba-Id

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

We could implement a script that will generate simple Composite classes with injected fields.

For instance, we pass the following XML file:

...
<filter id="filter"
                datasource="companiesDs">
            <properties include=".*"/>
        </filter>
        <table id="companiesTable"
               width="100%">
            <actions>
                <action id="create"/>
                <action id="edit"/>
                <action id="remove"/>
...

It should generate Java class:

public class CompanyBrowse extends Composite<CompanyBrowse> {
    @Wire
    public Table companiesTable;
    @Wire
    public Untyped filter;
}
