Defining a Generator

Usually a generator it's responsible for certain path of the javascript object.

A generator is a simple object with the following properties:

• Required properties:
  • template -> Handlebars template.
  • parser(data) -> Function it receives RAML parsed data, returns parsed data The parser must return and array of object each object must have name and content properties

Sample:

[ { name: "test.test", 
    model: {
      title:data.title + " finos"
      }
  }
]

• Optional properties:
  • handleRender([str]) -> This function handles the render results, usually writes to disk.
  • helpers -> Handlebars helpers.
  • partials -> Handlebars partials.

##Usage

var data2Code = require('data2Code');
var raml = require('raml-parser');

var simpleGen = {};
simpleGen.template = '{{title}}';
simpleGen.parser = function(){

}
var handleRender = function (result) {
  console.log(result);
}
Or to use multiple templates
var simpleGen = {}
simpleGen.templates = [{tmpl: "{title}", parser: function }]

raml.loadFile('myAPI.raml').then( function(data){
  data2Code.process(data, simpleGen);   
  data2Code.process(data, anotherGen);
}, function(error) {
  console.log('Error parsing: ' + error);
});
