Flow2Code

flow2code is a tool that allows you to create a code skeleton (hexocode) from a LiWE Flow file.

flow2code uses a set of templates to generate the code skeleton. The templates are written in Python and are stored in the templates folder.

You can create your own templates for your codebase and style and use them with flow2code. To know how to create a new template, please, see Creating a new template.

Usage

flow2code is a command line tool that can be used in this way:

flow2code.py <flowfile> -t template_name -o output_folder  [--strict]

Where:

<flowfile> - the path to the flow file
-t template_name - the name of the template to use
-o output_folder - the folder where to save the generated code
--strict - if set, the tool will fail if a something is not found during the generation

The full commands are:

usage: flow2code.py [-h] [-o OUTPUT] [-t TEMPLATE] [--strict] [-v] flow
