使用一组代码模板，可变配置语言（VCL）框架能够从实体、属性、关系和系统定义的定义中自动生成一个完整的运行web系统。现有的开发环境对代码自动生成特性的开发和自动生成代码本身的配置提供了有限的支持。本文提出了一个支持VCL框架的工具，旨在降低开发成本，同时促进VCL及其自动生成框架的有效学习。在这项工作中，开发了vacvis工具，以鼓励以可视化和交互式方法探索VCL框架的层次结构。可视化帮助开发人员在开发过程中理解框架，从而增强了使用VCL生成的系统的自动生成和维护。开发的工具被进一步增强并作为扩展集成到Visual Studio IDE中。
Using a set of code templates, the Variable Configuration Language (VCL) framework is capable of automatically generating a full running web system from definitions of entities, properties, relationships, and system definitions. Existing development environments provide limited support for the development of code auto-generation features, and configuration of the auto-generated code itself. Herein a tool is presented that supports the VCL framework that aims to reduce development cost while also facilitating efficient learning of VCL and its auto-generation framework. In this work, the V ACVIS tool is developed to encourage exploration through the hierarchical structure of the VCL framework in a visual and interactive approach. Visualizations aid developers in understanding the framework during the development process, hence enhancing the auto-generation and maintenance of the systems produced with VCL. The tool developed is further enhanced and integrated into Visual Studio IDE as an extension.
