Model Transmutations
Latest release: 2.8.0
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 FindersFinderA search specification combining field-operator pairs to execute standard data queries on a DataElement.
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::*
