Model Parser

The model parser takes files in various formats and converts them into a model.

Simple Model Syntax

This is our homegrown syntax for quickly creating a model.

The synatx is

{propertyName},{type_abbreviation}{?}{>}

the type abbreviation is the first character of the type (Except for double. We used d for date). You can also spell out types for any of your own classes or anything else.

? denotes nullable.

denotes it’s a collection.

id
name
duration

becomes

string Id
string Name
string Duration

id,i
names,s>
duration,l?
values,i?>
pets,Pet>

becomes

int Id
List<string> Names
List<long?> Duration
List<int?> Values
List<Pet> Pets

The list of types is

(s)tring
(i)nt
(d)ate
(u)niqueidentifier
(b)ool
(l)ong
doubl(e)

JSON

Any json file can be provided and we will do our best to convert it into a model.

TypeScript Class

We parse typescript classes that look like this. The TypeScript parsing is rudimentary.

 export class Model {
    entityId: string;
    modelTypeId: string;
    name: string;
    parameters: string;
    parsedModel: GenerationModelDefinition;
    modelType: string;

    constructor() {
      this.entityId = "";
      this.modelTypeId = "";
      this.name = "";
      this.parameters = "";
      this.modelType = "";
      this.parsedModel = new GenerationModelDefinition();
    }
  }

C# Class

We can parse C# POCOs. C# parsing is rudimentary.

    public class QueryViewModel
    {
        public Guid EntityId { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public bool IsCommand { get; set; }
        public List<ModelProperty>Request { get; set; }
        public PropertyViewModel Response { get; set; }
    }

Swagger Definition

Swagger definitions can be posted as JSON or Yaml and we also support loading from a url. So if you submit https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json we will download that and process it for you.
