EASL Code Generation Macros

Enterprise Architect provides two Enterprise Architect Simulation Library (EASL) code generation macros to generate code from behavioral models. These are:

EASL_GET and
EASLList
 

EASL_GET:

The EASL_GET macro is used to retrieve a property or a collection of an EASL object. The EASL objects and the properties and collections for each object are identified in the EASL Collections and EASL Properties topics.

Syntax:

 

$result = %EASL_GET(<<Property>>, <<Owner ID>>, <<Name>>)

 

where:

<<Property>>        is either "Property" or "Collection"
<<OwnerID>>        is the ID of the owner object for which the property/collection is to be retrieved
<<Name>>        is the name of the property or Collection being accessed
$result                is the returned value; this is "" if not a valid property
 

Example

 

$sPropName = %EASL_GET("Property", $context, "Name")%

 

EASLList:

The EASLList macro is used to render each object in an EASL collection using the appropriate template.

Syntax:

$result = %EASLList=<<TemplateName>> @separator=<<Separator>>
           @indent=<<indent>> @owner=<<OwnedID>>

           @collection=<<CollectionName>> @option1=<<OPTION1>>

           @option2=<<OPTION2>>.........  @optionN=<<OPTIONN>>%

 

where:

<<TemplateName>>        is the name of any behavioral model template or custom template
<<Separator>>                is a list separator (such as "\n")
<<indent>>                is any indentation to be applied to the result
<<owner>>                is the ID of the object that contains the required collection
<<CollectionName>>        is the name of the required collection
<<OPTION1>....<<OPTION99>> are miscellaneous options that might be passed on the template; each option is given as an additional input parameter to the template
$result                        is the resultant value; this is "" if not a valid collection
 

Example

 

$sStates = %EASLList="State" @separator="\n" @indent="\t"

           @owner=$StateMachineGUID @collection="States" @option=$sOption%
