front.spec_maker_base

class front.spec_maker_base.SpecMakerBase

This abstract class takes care of transforming the configuration given by the user (short language) to a detailed specification to build the application (long language).

To do so, the “mk_spec” method first merges the configuration with the convention, then does the following for the rendering specification: Let’s consider we have three classes A, B and C with C extends B and B extends A A <- B <- C. If the rendering configuration contains the following: {

A: {

‘a’: {…}

}, B: {

‘b’: {…}

}, C: {

‘c’: {…}

},

} The resulting rendering specification will be: {

A: {

‘a’: {…}

}, B: {

‘a’: {…}, ‘b’: {…}

}, C: {

‘a’: {…}, ‘b’: {…}, ‘c’: {…}

},

}

This abstract class needs to be overloaded in every concrete front framework with a concrete implementation for the “_dflt_convention” property, which will return the convention after injecting the concrete element factories in it.
