Generate App Code
In a migration project, in addition to migrating data, you frequently update or rewrite parts of your application code. Relational Migrator's Code Generation feature reduces the time and effort involved in this process.
Relational Migration Code Generation analyzes MongoDB collections and generates application code from your MongoDB schema.
Code Generation:
Uses connections defined in your project to connect to MongoDB and generate application code files.
Provides language support for C#, Java, JavaScript and JSON.
For each collection in your destination MongoDB connection, Code Generation generates code files. These files contain language specific model classes and appropriate library imports to run your application on MongoDB. You can then download or copy these automatically generated files into your application. You may need to make manual updates to the generated code in order to integrate it with your existing application code.
Code Generation Options
Code Generation has the following options:
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Language | The programming language that Relational Migrator generates code files for. |
Template | Describes the types of artifacts that are generated in the chosen language. |
