Sample module definition file %CODE{"lua"}% --[[ Title: a sample module file Author(s): LiXizhi Date: 2008/3/5 Desc: use the lib:

---

NPL.load("(gl)script/kids/3DMapSystemApp/Developers/sample_module.lua");

---

-- file1.lua is assumed to be at the same directory as the sample_module. %MODULEFILE{"file1.lua", replace = { {from = "%SRC_DIR%", to="%INSTALL_DIR%"}, {from = "2008/3/5", to="2024-04-24"}, {from = "SampleApp", to="%INSTALL_NAME%"}, }, post_func="", dest = "%INSTALL_DIR%/%SRC_NAME%", }%

%MODULEFILE{"file2.lua", replace = { {from = "%SRC_DIR%", to="%INSTALL_DIR%"}, {from = "2008/3/5", to="2024-04-24"}, {from = "SampleApp", to="%INSTALL_NAME%"}, }, post_func="", dest = "%INSTALL_DIR%/%SRC_NAME%", }%

Description:

• MODULEFILE: each module can contain one or several module files usually in its comment block, like this file.
• first string: the file path of the source template file. It does not contain parent path, it is assumed to be located at the same directory of the this module file.
• replace: an array of replaceables. Replaceable can contain predefined variables.
• INSTALL_DIR: where the user specified to install the module. such as "script/myapp"
• INSTALL_NAME: what name the user specified to install, such as "MyModule"
• SRC_NAME: name of the source template file. in the above case, it is "file1.lua"
• SRC_DIR: directory of the source template file. in the above case, it is the directory of this module file.
• post_func: the function to be called to perform some manual refinement after replaceables are performed.
• dest: the destination directory where the new instance of this file is installed.

在这里面添加模块？ 张磊(张磊) 10:32:27 有点像 新建各种程序的向导。

还是用npl mcml实现是吧？ 李西峙(李西峙) 10:33:03 这是原来用C#做的一个界面。 但是用起来不方便。我们用NPL MCML做一个许多页面的，向导模式的新建程序的程序 李西峙(李西峙) 10:34:00 我们可以先讨论下具体的UI和功能。 李西峙(李西峙) 10:34:42 这将是未来内外部的开发者都会使用的一个关键程序 李西峙(李西峙) 10:35:10 相当于Visual Studio 中的 File->new 张磊(张磊) 10:35:22 了解了~~~~ 就是功能，展现形式 是类似与 现在是用 npl mcml来实现~~？ 李西峙(李西峙) 10:35:35 npl mcml来实现 张磊(张磊) 10:35:48 就是可视化操作了 是这样吧 李西峙(李西峙) 10:36:06 向导式的UI. 下一步 下一步 下一步 下一步 完成 李西峙(李西峙) 10:36:49 UI部分可以用MCML实现。 李西峙(李西峙) 10:36:57 相当于学习MCML了。 李西峙(李西峙) 10:37:19 逻辑部分和之前的Wiki DocGen 是一样的。 李西峙(李西峙) 10:37:30 也要许多regular expression.
