Model Transmutations

Latest release: 2.3.2


Run transmuters to modify or update your model. Transmuters are designed to be idempotent, so you can run the transmutations each time you want to update your model after a change.

Some of the use-cases are:

  • Create a DataElement needed for a feature to work
  • Configure your models with a certain recommended feature
  • Automatically create useful model additions, such as Finders

Usage

To run a transmuter, use the expanders-maven-plugin:

mvn expanders:transmute-model -Dtransmutation=CreateFlowEnvironment

This run the transmutation on all valid elements in the model. You can also define a targetElement to run it on a single element or, using wildcards, on a subset of elements.

mvn expanders:transmute-model -Dtransmutation=CreateFlowEnvironment -DtargetElement=space::Starship
mvn expanders:transmute-model -Dtransmutation=CreateFlowEnvironment -DtargetElement=space::*
