Interface SciFactory

public interface SciFactory

A creator of new source code parts of the model with default contents/properties.

Automatically set properties for created objects are dictated by the language stardards and common sense (for example, attributes are made private).

After creation (see example), a newly created element can be pasted into SciContainer using the paste method.

An instance of SciFactory for a specific language language can be obtained using SciModel.getFactory(String lagnuage) method.

There is similar interface called SciGenericFactory which also creates new source code parts of the model, but it creates them basing on the string with the text of the member you want to create.

public SciAttribute newAttribute()

Creates a new SciAttribute with a set of default properties (private, int). For example:

  SciAttribute newAttribute = SciModelAccess.getModel().getFactory(SciLanguage.JAVA).newAttribute(); //creating a new attribute with default name and type
  newAttribute.setName("myLastName"); //setting the name
  newAttribute.getType().setText("String"); //setting the type
  newAttribute.setProperty(SciProperty.PUBLIC, true); //setting the public modifier
  someSciClass.paste(newAttribute, null, false); //pasting it into someSciClass
 

This code will create a new attribute "public String myLastName" and insert it into someSciClass

Returns: a new SciAttribute with a set of default properties

public SciClass newClass()

Creates a new SciClass with a set of default properties.

Returns: a new SciClass with a set of default properties

SciGenericFactory.newClass(java.lang.String), newOperation(), newAttribute()

public SciCodeBlock newCodeBlock()

Creates a new empty SciCodeBlock.

Returns: a new empty SciCodeBlock

SciFunction.setBody(com.togethersoft.openapi.sci.SciCodeBlock)

public SciFile newFile()

Creates a new empty SciFile with a set of default properties.

 SciFile f = SciModelAccess.getModel().getFactory(SciLanguage.JAVA).newFile();
 f.setName("R.java"); //setting the name
 someSciPackage.paste(f,null,false);
 

Returns: a new SciFile with a set of default properties

SciGenericFactory.newFile(java.lang.String)

public SciInheritance newInheritance()

Creates a new SciInheritance.

Returns: a new SciInheritance

public SciJavaImport newJavaImport()

Creates a new SciJavaImport. For Java language only.

Returns: a new SciJavaImport

public SciMemberDefinition newMemberDefinition(SciMember sciMember)

Creates a new SciMemberDefinition for a given SciMember. For C++ language only.

Returns: a new SciMemberDefinition

public SciOperation newOperation()

Creates a new SciOperation with a set of default properties (public, void, no parameters).

 SciOperation newOperation = SciModelAccess.getModel().getFactory(SciLanguage.JAVA).newOperation(); //creating a new operation with default name, parameters and return type
 newOperation.setName("getSalary"); //setting the name
 newOperation.getReturnType().setText("int"); //setting the return type
 newOperation.getParameterList().setText("String lastName, int year"); //setting the parameters
 newOperation.setProperty(SciProperty.PROTECTED, true); //setting the protected modifier
 someSciClass.paste(newOperation, null, false); //pasting it into someSciClass
 

This code will create a new operation

 protected int getSalary(String lastName, int year){}
 

and insert into someSciClass. The body for the operation can be created and set using the methods newCodeBlock, SciGenericFactory.newCodeBlock and SciFunction.setBody methods respectively.

Returns: a new SciOperation with a set of default properties
