TransferGenerator

Generates transfer classes based on definitions provided in .xml files, inspired by Symfony's transfer generator.

At present, the generated transfer classes provide:

• Getters and setters for the fields
• Adders for dicts and lists (although you can of course set them too)
• A modified meta dict, with individual is_modified_... methods for each field

Usage:

• Define the classes you need using .xml files, the names of which end in ..._transfers.xml.
  • The structure these files should have is exemplified by the IN/sample_transfers.xml and OUT/second_sample_transfers.xml files.
• You can either put these files in the IN directory, where the sample files are...
  • (the two sample files are considered as part of the repo but any other _transfers.xml files put there will be ignored)
• ...OR you can provide custom input as well as custom output paths by using the -i/--input_path and the -o/--output_path command line arguments, respectively.
  • If provided, they will be used, if not, the default paths (IN/ and OUT/ in the repo root) will be used.

generate.py - will run with the default values
generate.py -i my_transfer_xmls -o my_generated_transfers - will use the my_transfer_xmls input and the my_generated_transfers output paths, respectively.
