PlasticUser Guide

Overview

afPlastic is a support library and exists to aid the development of other Alien-Factory libraries and frameworks. Though you are welcome to use it, you may find features are missing and the documentation incomplete.

afPlastic is a library for dynamically generating and compiling Fantom code.

afPlastic is the cornerstone of afIoc proxied services and Embedded Fantom (efan) templates.

Quick Start

model := PlasticClassModel("MyClass", true)
model.addMethod(Str#, "greet", "Str name", """ "Hello \${name}!" """)

model.toFantomCode // -->

// const class MyClass {
//   new make(|This|? f := null) {
//     f?.call(this)
//   }
//
//   sys::Str greet(Str name) {
//      "Hello ${name}!"
//   }
// }

myType := PlasticCompiler().compileModel(model)
myType.make->greet("Mum")

// --> Hello Mum!
