New Simple Code Generation

[eluser]lifewithryan[/eluser]
I didn't build in any "magic" for handling relationships. But what you'd do is something like this (consider a blog):


In /config/Blog
table:blogs
field:id:BIGINT:notNull:pk
...more blog fields...

Now every blog should have comments, and comments would have a foreign key back to the blog in which they relate, so in /config/Comment:
table:comments
field:blog_id:BIGINT:notNull

I don't have an "fk" association in the ignition script, I just handle that in my code. When someone submits a comment, I know i have to have the "id" of the blog and set comment->blog_id = blog.id, etc.

Make sense? With ignition, I didn't want to really create TOO much ORM type stuff. A) I'm not that ambitious and B) I didn't want to paint anyone into a corner into doing things "my way" so to speak. (Granted, I sort of am doing that with the code I generate, but those are easy changes. Either change it after the fact --OR-- modify the templates to generate different code.


Hope that helps.
