Datatype Definition Language

Provides single definiton of datatypes and generation of implementations in different target languages, currently Java & TypeScript. Simplifies data exchange between different programming environments, e.g. via JSON-RPC.

Generator CLI

The Datatype Definition language features a generator that you can run via cli. It produces datatype implementations in the selected target language, defaults to Java.

• Ensure the complete project was properly built, otherwise run npm install from the project root dir.
• Use node <projectRoot>/bin/cli to run the cli, than follow the instructions.

You also can use datatypes-cli as a replacement for node ./bin/cli, if you install the cli globally.

• Run npm install -g ./ from the domainmodel directory.
• Use datatypes-cli to run the cli and follow the instructions.

VSCode Extension

Please use the VSCode run configuration "Launch Datatype Definition Extension" to launch a new VSCode instance including the extension for this language. Use the run configuration "Attach" to attach the debugger.
