What we want to generate :

3. 3
For this tutorial we need Python 3 with frameworks « Bottle » and « SQLAlchemy »
Check « Python 3 » and « pip » are installed
> python --version
> pip --version
Install « Bottle »
> pip install bottle
Install « SQLAlchemy »
> pip install SQLAlchemy
List installed packages
> pip list
PREREQUISITES

4. 4
Telosys CLI
installation

5. 5
Create 2 folders : « tuto » and « tuto/project »
Check Java version ( Java 1.8 or + required )
> java -version
Download Telosys-CLI
from https://www.telosys.org/download/telosys-cli/
in « tuto » folder
Unzip Telosys-CLI in the « tuto » folder
If you want Telosys to use your preferred editor
just define it in the ”telosys-cli.cfg” file
Example for « Notepad++ » :
EditorCommand = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe" $FILE
INSTALL TELOSYS-CLI
Telosys-CLI files after « unzip » :
Telosys-CLI is packaged
in a “.zip” file

6. 6
Open a Command Prompt in « tuto » folder
and run « tt » command (shell file or .bat file )
Print commands help :
telosys> ?
Print current directory :
telosys> pwd
Change current directory to « tuto /project »
telosys> cd project
Set home directory ( project directory ) :
telosys> h .
Initialize the Telosys tools in the project :
telosys> init
LAUNCH TELOSYS-CLI AND INITIALIZE THE PROJECT

7. 7
Step 1 - Model setup
( entities definition )

8. 8
Create a new model « students » :
telosys> nm students
List existing models :
telosys> lm
List entities defined in the current model :
telosys> le
Create a new entity « student » :
telosys> ne student
List entities :
telosys> le
Edit entity « student »
telosys> ee student
Check the current model
telosys> cm
HOW TO CREATE A MODEL FROM SCRATCH
The current model is
displayed in the prompt

9. 9
If you don’t want to create a full model from scratch
you can download an existing model :
http://www.telosys.org/download/models-v3/
In « /tuto/project/TelosysTools »
Unzip ( « Extract here » )
List models :
telosys> lm
Select the « cars » model :
telosys> m cars
List entities :
telosys> le
Edit entity « Car »:
telosys> ee car
DOWNLOAD THE « CARS » MODEL

10. 10
Step 2 - Templates installation

11. 11
PYTHON BUNDLES AVAILABLE ON GITHUB
See : https://github.com/telosys-templates-v3

12. 12
For our application we need 2 bundles of templates :
• 1 bundle for the persistence layer
• 1 bundle for the web MVC layer
REQUIRED BUNDLES OF TEMPLATES
Web browser
Controllers Services
Views
D.A.O.
Entities
python-web-mvc-bottle python-persistence-sqlalchemy

13. 13
Print current GitHub store :
telosys> gh
List all bundles available on GitHub :
telosys> lgh
List bundles containing “pyt” on GitHub :
telosys> lgh pyt
Install bundles containing “pyt” :
telosys> ib pyt
List installed bundles :
telosys> lb
INSTALL BUNDLES OF TEMPLATES

14. 14
Step 3 - Code generation

15. 15
Select the bundle of templates for the MVC layer ( “python-web-mvc-bottle” )
 select bundle containing “mvc” :
telosys> b mvc
Launch generation :
telosys> gen * * -r
( generate all entities
target files using
all templates and
copy static resources
if any )
USE « Web MVC » FOR CODE GENERATION

16. 16
For each entity :
• “form” template
• “list” template
« Web MVC » GENERATION RESULT
A controller for each entity
Home page controller
& utility functions

17. 17
Select bundle containing “sqlal” :
telosys> b sqlal
Launch generation :
telosys> gen * * -r
USE « Persistence SQL Alchemy » FOR CODE GENERATION

18. 18
« Persistence SQL Alchemy » GENERATION RESULT
A DAO for each entity
A domain class for each entity
A persistence service for each entity
A unit test for each DAO

19. 19
Now let’s use the
generated code…

20. 20
Initialize database and launch DAO tests
1) Create the SQLite database
Launch “create_database.py”
( creates the SQLite file “database.sqlite” )
2) Initialize the database :
Launch “init_database.py”
( insert few records in each table )
3) Launch DAO unit tests :
Launch “run_tests.py”

21. 21
1) Start the web application
Launch “app.py”
( creates the SQLite file “database.sqlite” )
2) Test the application with a web browser
http://localhost:3000/
Launch the generated web application

22. 22
That's it !
Now you can customize
the entities or the templates…
