Introducing Cairngorm Creator

July 22nd, 2007 by tyler

After discovering all the benefits the Cairngorm micro architecture, I quickly found that creating all the classes and mxml files was quite tedious. Thus Cairngorm Creator was born. Cairngorm Creator is a Flex code generation application that enables developers to quickly define and create a Flex application skeleton based on the Cairngorm micro architecture.

    Current Features

  • User-defineable package name
  • User-defineable folder names
  • Custom build file
  • Save and Load structure definitions (XML)
  • Editable source XML
  • Preview Files
  • Downloadable Zip File

I’ve yet to write any in depth instructions, I was hoping to get some feedback first… I’ll add to the following as neccessary.

Application Usage Notes:
- Cairngorm 2.2 and Flex 2 SDK are required.
- The application still lacks field validation
- If the xml source is edited directly, there’s a chance the app will implode.
- In “type” fields, if you put the full package structure, that package will be imported.
