## **Automatic Code Consistency**

In the ever-evolving world of software development, maintaining consistency across multiple projects can be a daunting task. Whether you are managing a portfolio of applications or collaborating with a large team, ensuring that your codebase adheres to a set of predefined standards and practices is crucial for maintainability, scalability, and efficiency. Our **Code Generator** offers a solution to this challenge by providing **Automatic Code Consistency**.

#### What is Automatic Code Consistency?

**Automatic Code Consistency** is a feature of our Code Generator designed to ensure that the code generated for multiple projects remains uniform and adheres to your organization's coding standards. This means that regardless of the number of projects or the size of your team, the generated code will always follow the same structure, naming conventions, and best practices.

#### Benefits of Automatic Code Consistency

1. **Uniform Structure and Style**:
   * Every project generated by our tool will have the same folder structure, file organization, and naming conventions. This uniformity makes it easier for developers to navigate and understand the codebase, reducing the learning curve for new team members.
2. **Adherence to Best Practices**:
   * Our Code Generator incorporates industry best practices and standards. This ensures that all generated code is optimized, secure, and maintainable from the outset.
3. **Reduced Errors and Bugs**:
   * Consistent code reduces the likelihood of errors and bugs. When all projects follow the same conventions, it's easier to spot anomalies and discrepancies that could lead to issues.
4. **Enhanced Collaboration**:
   * With a consistent codebase, team members can collaborate more effectively. Code reviews become more straightforward, and integrating changes from different developers is smoother and less prone to conflicts.
5. **Faster Onboarding**:
   * New developers can get up to speed more quickly when they join a project. Consistent code and structure mean less time spent understanding the project's organization and more time contributing to development.

## In-built Supported Operations

Our **Code Generator** is designed to streamline and enhance your development process by providing a range of in-built supported operations specifically tailored for applications using OData v4. These operations cover essential functionalities that every application needs, ensuring that your projects are equipped with robust and ready-to-use features right out of the box.

#### CRUD Operations with OData v4

CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations are fundamental to most applications, allowing you to manage and manipulate data effectively using the OData protocol. Our Code Generator includes:

1. **Create**:
   * Generates OData-compliant code to create new records in the database.
   * Handles data validation and error management according to OData standards.
2. **Read**:
   * Generates code to retrieve data from the database using OData queries.
   * Supports fetching single records, lists of records, and paginated data with OData query options like `$top`, `$skip`, and `$count`.
3. **Update**:
   * Generates OData-compliant code to update existing records.
   * Includes logic for partial (PATCH) and full (PUT) updates, with OData-compliant validation checks.
4. **Delete**:
   * Generates code to delete records using OData DELETE requests.
   * Ensures safe deletion with confirmation prompts and proper error handling.

#### Searching with OData v4

Effective data retrieval often requires robust search functionalities. Our Code Generator provides:

1. **Simple Search**:
   * Generates basic search functionality using OData query options like `$filter` to filter data based on simple criteria.
2. **Advanced Search**:
   * Generates advanced search capabilities allowing for complex queries and multiple filters using OData query options.
   * Supports full-text search, range queries, and custom search parameters via OData `$filter`.

#### Sorting with OData v4

Sorting data is crucial for enhancing the user experience and making information easier to navigate. Our Code Generator includes:

1. **Basic Sorting**:
   * Generates sorting functionality using the OData `$orderby` query option for single attributes, such as alphabetical or numerical sorting.
2. **Multi-Attribute Sorting**:
   * Generates code that supports sorting by multiple attributes simultaneously, providing a more refined data organization with OData `$orderby`.
3. **Dynamic Sorting**:
   * Allows users to dynamically change the sorting order from the frontend using OData query parameters, enhancing interactivity.



* Integration Test Cases

#### Integration Test Cases with OData v4

To ensure the reliability and robustness of your applications, our Code Generator includes:

**Auto-Generated Test Cases**:

* Generates integration test cases automatically based on the defined OData schema and endpoints.
* Tests include scenarios for CRUD operations, edge cases, and error handling, all in compliance with OData v4 standards.



## Liquibase File

Managing database schema changes is a critical aspect of modern application development. Liquibase, a powerful database schema change management tool, allows you to version control your database changes alongside your application code. Our **Code Generator** simplifies this process by automatically generating Liquibase files, ensuring that your database migrations are seamless, consistent, and reliable.

#### Benefits of Using Liquibase

1. **Version Control**:
   * Track and manage database changes with version control, enabling easy rollback and forward migrations.
2. **Consistency**:
   * Ensure that database schema changes are consistently applied across different environments, reducing the risk of discrepancies.
3. **Automation**:
   * Automate the process of applying database changes, integrating seamlessly with your CI/CD pipeline.

## Postman Collection

Postman is a widely-used tool for API testing, documentation, and collaboration. By generating Postman collections, our **Code Generator** helps developers quickly understand and test the available API endpoints with different queries. This feature provides a convenient way to explore and verify the functionality of your APIs, ensuring a smooth development and integration process.

#### Benefits of Postman Collection Generation

1. **Ease of Use**:
   * Provides a user-friendly interface for developers to interact with your APIs, making it easier to test and understand the endpoints.
2. **Comprehensive Documentation**:
   * Automatically generated Postman collections serve as living documentation for your API, showing the available endpoints, required parameters, and example responses.
3. **Improved Collaboration**:
   * Share Postman collections with team members or external partners to facilitate collaboration and ensure everyone has access to up-to-date API information.
4. **Accelerated Development**:
   * Quickly test API functionality and behavior, accelerating the development process and reducing the time needed for debugging and troubleshooting.
