Code Generation

Code Generation is the key element for simplifying access to the database. Code Generation is the process of producing C# source files using database structure/content as the source data.

Here is the full list of code generation types:

  1. Extension classes (highly recommended)- classes (produced by CodeGen addon generator) to be used inside database instead of generic BGEntity class
  2. MonoBehaviour Classes (highly recommended)- classes, which can be attached to GameObject (extended from MonoBehaviour) and pointing to a row
  3. Reference classes (optionally produced by CodeGen addon)- classes which can be used to reference database row from your own C# scripts (alternative to MonoBehaviour generated classes)
  4. Playmaker actions- actions for Playmaker
  5. Unity Visual Scripting (ex-Bolt) units- units for Unity Visual Scripting/Bolt
  6. Flow Canvas nodes- nodes to be used with Flow Canvas asset
