OABuilder & OACodeGen

🎨 What It Does

• Generates complete UI classes for each model object (OAObject)
• Builds forms, detail views, tables, selectors, and navigation automatically
• Wires everything using OA’s MVC pattern with no glue code
• Creates the full working User Interface

🧠 Generated UIs

• Master-detail views, lookups, tab panels, searches, drilldowns, etc.
• Support for calculated properties and conditional rendering
• Security, visibility, enablement rules from the model metadata

🚫 No Drag-and-Drop

OABuilder delivers full working UIs without:

• Manual layout tweaking
• Boilerplate bindings or event setup
• Inconsistent widget behaviors

🖥️ Two UI Targets

• OA-JFC: Java Swing desktop apps with advanced form controls
• OA-Web: HTML5 + JavaScript single-page apps (SPA, SSR) using lightweight, reusable components

🧩 A Code Generator for Code Generators

OABuilder generates customizable generators that can target:

• Any language (Java, JavaScript, C#, Kotlin, etc.)
• Any framework (Swing, Angular, Vue, React, Pure HTML5, etc.)
• Any component set — including proprietary or industry-specific UI libraries

This makes it a platform for creating tailored generators that evolve for any technology stack.

🔁 Built for Iteration

The generator uses staging layers:

• Transforms model into UI component "parts".
• Code generators use these parts to assemble the output (ex: UI code).
• You can regenerate at any time and keep custom changes.
