Using Code Templates¶
template¶
The template node registers a template that can be used to avoid duplicate code when extending the generated code, and it is a child of the typesystem node.
<typesystem> <template name="my_template"> // the code </template> </typesystem>Use the insert-template node to insert the template code (identified by the template’s
name
attribute) into the generated code base.
insert-template¶
The insert-template node includes the code template identified by the name attribute, and it can be a child of the inject-code, conversion-rule, template, custom-constructor and custom-destructor nodes.
<inject-code class="target" position="beginning"> <insert-template name="my_template" /> </inject-code>Use the replace node to modify the template code.
replace¶
The replace node allows you to modify template code before inserting it into the generated code, and it can be a child of the insert-template node.
<insert-template name="my_template"> <replace from="..." to="..." /> </insert-template>This node will replace the attribute
from
with the value pointed byto
.
