Hi All, I did an test for code generation for the node.js layer on top of IOTIvity. This is in OCF github at. https://github.com/openconnectivityfoundation/swagger2x
the approach is template based, so the mechanism can work for any language/os/library combination. One just have to write an template for the target. The key of doing this correctly is having an good documented API of the library where the code generation need to generate to. e.g. all calls of an library needs to be documented on API level, e.g. call flows, call descriptions all need to be fully there. This is currently not the case for IOTIvity (C/C++/Node.js ?APIs). This needs to get sorted out quickly. Please start to use doxygen to its full extend: Each header file (or in javascript the callable code) should be fully documented on: - Each call should have full doxygen documentation o Usefull description o Description of each parameter (in and out) - Higher level, we need call sequences o Either in pseudo code or in sequence diagrams. o Where the component fits in the overall stack architecture. I strongly would suggest that from now on each checkin should contain the doxygen documentation. If the header file is completely not documented with doxygen: please do the work for all functions. So that this technical debt is gone within 2-3 months.. Kind Regards, Wouter From: iotivity-dev-bounces at lists.iotivity.org [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of ???

Considering frequent adding and changing resource and property in the real world, code generation should be done again and again during developement which lead generated skelton code to be copied and replaced again. Furthermore code generation is a little bit old style I feel. Recently well abstrated API following less user code is more trendy( this comment does not mean Smart Home API.) According to Younggin comment design goal looks different. Whether code generation or not is othogonal from the main idea of his API proposal. Omar could you explain why IPCA is closer to code generation ?

Totally agree that code generation is the right solution to this problem which we'd all like to solve. The IPCA api's that are in gerrit right now are a first step in enabling this.

I don't think the goals are at odds. We do want the easy API. I just don't want *us* to spend time developing it for each and every resource type that OCF comes up with. I'd like us to create a code generator that does that job for us, for current as well as any future resource types. That way, developers won't need to deal with the RAML files or Swagger files. They'll use the generated API. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ iotivity-dev mailing list iotivity-dev at lists.iotivity.org<mailto:iotivity-dev at lists.iotivity.org> https://lists.iotivity.org/mailman/listinfo/iotivity-dev _______________________________________________ iotivity-dev mailing list iotivity-dev at lists.iotivity.org<mailto:iotivity-dev at lists.iotivity.org> https://lists.iotivity.org/mailman/listinfo/iotivity-dev [cid:image001.gif at 01D297DE.5813EB40] [http://ext.samsung.net/mail/ext/v1/external/status/update?userid=uzchoi&do=bWFpbElEPTIwMTcwMzA4MDcwMTA0ZXBjbXMxcDQ2ZWUyOTE3Mzg3MDU1MmI2Nzc5YjVhYzI2MzczYzU1NCZyZWNpcGllbnRBZGRyZXNzPWlvdGl2aXR5LWRldkBsaXN0cy5pb3Rpdml0eS5vcmc_] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
