Description  You can specify one or more styles to give information to the code generation scripts. The meaning of the styles is up to the script writer.

The styles can be used as flags by the script calling $styleList.contains( "styleOfInterest" )

[ Currently, there is no built-in support for style="styleType=value" type semantics. This would have to be defined by each script writer. ]

Examples of the use of styles:
  • characteristics of a web page (e.g. should it be included in one of the menus)
  • whether an entity should be automatically mapped to a data-view (the 'maintain' style).
Note that styles and the 'group' property are different concepts, and therefore complimentary. Many modelling objects - such as data-views and their fields, or business methods - can be put into groups as a hint as to where to render the UI pages. Typically groups are used to define 'where' to place the meta class, whereas styles indicate how to render the object.
