Custom code generator needs more tutorial/wiki

Open zhuchun opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Hi,

I want to translate my T4 templates into custom code generators since the compiler error issue is annoying. After a few hours of investigation, I feel like it's hard to make use of Jenny for now. There's a wiki page, but some details for beginners are missing.

  • A simple demo shows how to generate an easy text file. The component family as an example is over complicated for beginners.

  • Necessary property explanation. They're in DLLs so decompiler only gives the variable name.

  • In-depth guide about how scripts are organized, say "Why DataProviderA is feeding CodeGeneratorB".

  • How to debug generators? What process should IDE attach to in server mode?

I'm really excited about the possibility of Jenny being a generic code generator 😄
