A model-view based code generator written in Java. It is completely object oriented to encourage reuse and increase testability. If you have a lot of code that depends on the structure of a database, a file system or any other source of information, generate the code instead!

To use CodeGen in your projects, add the following dependency to your pom.xml-file:

<dependency>
 <groupId>com.github.pyknic</groupId>
 <artifactId>codegen</artifactId>
 <version>2.4.5</version>
</dependency>

System.out.println(new JavaGenerator().on(
 File.of("org/example/BasicExample.java")
 .add(Class.of("BasicExample")
 .add(GENERATED)
 .public_()
 .add(
 Field.of("BASIC_MESSAGE", String.class)
 .public_().final_().static_()
 .set(Value.ofText("Hello, world!"))
 )
 .add(
 Method.of("main", void.class)
 .set(Javadoc.of(
 "This is a vary basic example of " +
 "the capabilities of the Code Generator."
 ))
 .public_().static_()
 .add(Field.of("params", String[].class))
 .add(
 "System.out.println(BASIC_MESSAGE);"
 )
 )
 ).call(new AutoJavadoc<>())
 ).get()
);

/**
 * Write some documentation here.
 */
package org.example;
public class BasicExample {
 public final static String BASIC_MESSAGE = "Hello, world!";
 
 /**
 * This is a vary basic example of the capabilities of the 
 * Code Generator.
 */
 public static void main(String[] params) {
 System.out.println(BASIC_MESSAGE);
 }
}

Currently only the java language is supported, but the language-dependent code is contained in a single package so that more languages can be supported in the future. Most of the java package can probably be reused if the language in question is similair in syntax.
