Great, it's all yours!

Hi @dselman,
Just wanted to clarify if this is what the requirement is?
For the following CTO file,

namespace [email protected]

abstract concept Person
{
    o String firstName
    o String lastName
}

concept Driver extends Person {
  o String favoriteColor
}

concept Car identified by vin
{
    o String vin
    o Person owner
}

If we do concerto vocab --model [email protected] should hit the new API in concerto-vocabulary to generate a bootstrap teamplate that uses englishMissingTermGenerator?
Example output YAML file:

locale: en
namespace: [email protected]
declarations:
  - Person: # Add your definition
    properties:
      - lastName: lastName of the Person
      - firstName: firstName of the Person
  - Driver: # Add your defination
    properties:
      - favoriteColor: favoriteColor of the Driver
  - Car: # Add your definition
    properties:
     - vin: vin of the Car
     - owner: owner of the Car

Close! What I was thinking was a new code generator, so we could run it using:

concerto compile --model [email protected] --target vocabulary

That saves creating a new CLI command etc.

The visitor for the code generator would create a voc file for each model file in the model manager.

The English Missing Term Generator will allow us to populate those # Add your definition with a machine generated term that people can then customise.

Would you like to work on this one?

[sanketshevkar]

Yes sure.

The English Missing Term Generator will allow us to populate those # Add your definition with a machine generated term that people can then customise.

Just saw the method and edited the YAML file.

[dselman]

BTW - the English Missing Term Generator can also be applied to concept names (property name is optional).

[dselman]

Don't forget to register the new code generator here: https://github.com/accordproject/concerto-codegen/blob/main/lib/codegen/codegen.js

And add doc page here: https://github.com/accordproject/concerto-docs/tree/main/docs/reference/codegen

[sanketshevkar]

Yes, sure will keep in mind. Thank you Dan. :)

Hi @dselman,

I was testing the vocab file generated by the code generator I've written. While testing it on this repl https://replit.com/join/xeqmqanuuo-sanketshevkar
I'm not able able to add a command set to the model manager when any scalar value is present in the .cto file. In other cases it's working fine.
I am getting the following error.

TypeError: decl.getProperties is not a function

Another question, how should I output vocab for Scalar type declarations?

[dselman]

We must have broken vocabulary management when we added scalars. Do you want me to fix that?

We can handle scalars in the vocabulary similar to concepts, just without properties.

[sanketshevkar]

If that's how the output should be. I can try to patch it up in the same PR?
I don't think it'll be a blocker for this particular PR. I'll investigate and let you know. If it feels like a small patch I can do it myself.

[dselman]

Ok, thanks - I will leave it to you.

[dselman]

Any progress on this or an ETA? I have a need for this.

[sanketshevkar]

1. Need handle case for relation and scalars.
2. Write test cases.
   By when do you require this? Should be a few hours work at max. Sorry, kept it on hold, because I have an interview scheduled this week.
   If it's urgent for you I can prioritize it from my side.

[dselman]

If you create a draft PR with what you have then I can work on it as well.

[sanketshevkar]

1. Created a new issue in concerto-codegen
2. Relationship and Scalar are now handled
3. Need to write tests for field: (fields, enum values, relationships)

I'm trying to raise a PR on concerto-codegen but getting an error, regarding permission

[dselman]

Strange. I see other PRs have been created: https://github.com/accordproject/concerto-codegen/branches
You need to fork the repo and then create your PR to merge from your fork back to the main branch.

[sanketshevkar]

Ahh 😅
Hadn't forked the repo.
Here's the PR to be reviewed accordproject/concerto-codegen#22
Thanks @dselman

[sanketshevkar]

I have completed the tests, can you review the PR? @dselman

[dselman]

This has been implemented.
