CaseTalk:15

CaseTalk version 15 introduces a template-based code generation engine that replaces the previous DLL plugin architecture. All code generators are now defined as INI template files using the WebStencils template processor, making them easy to inspect, customize, and extend.

Architecture

The template engine processes the validated conceptual model through the JCatalog internal schema, producing output files for each target platform. Templates are stored as .ini or .module files in the modules directory and appear in the Generate menu alongside the built-in export modules.

Key benefits of the template approach:

• Transparency — templates are human-readable text files
• Customizability — users can modify templates or create new ones
• Extensibility — new targets can be added without recompilation
• Consistency — all generators share the same template engine and JCatalog schema
