Metadata Services

GenFlow includes metadata services to describe and categorize the available generator modules, called GenTemplates, and their configuration parameters. This allows for unified access, presentation, search, filter, configuration and execution of code generators.

The GenFlow metadata defines a separate GenTemplate for each distinct type of code that the Codegen Provider can generate. It also describes configuration parameters available for each generator, so GenFlow applications can inspect, modify, and validate configurations.

If you're writing applications or services that use GenFlow, you'll use the metadata services to retrieve and inspect generator metadata.

If you're maintaining a codegen provider in GenFlow, there is a defined process to manage updates and keep the metadata in sync.
