Code Generation Engine Concept

Architecture Details for Code Generation Engine (Low-code)


1. Backend Framework:


- Python Framework:


  - FastAPI: A modern, fast (high-performance) web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints.


  - SQLAlchemy: SQL toolkit and Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library for database management.


  - Jinja2: A templating engine for rendering dynamic content.


  - Pydantic: Data validation and settings management using Python type annotations.




2. Application Structure:


- Project Root:


  - `app/`


    - `main.py` (Entry point of the application)


    - `models/`


      - `models.py` (Database models)


    - `schemas/`


      - `schemas.py` (Data validation schemas)


    - `api/`


      - `endpoints/`


        - `code_generation.py` (Endpoints related to code generation)


    - `core/`


      - `config.py` (Configuration settings)


      - `dependencies.py` (Common dependencies)


    - `services/`


      - `code_generator.py` (Logic for code generation)


    - `templates/` (Directory for Jinja2 templates)


  - `Dockerfile`


  - `docker-compose.yml`


  - `requirements.txt`




3. Docker-based Application:




#Dockerfile:


```dockerfile


# Use an official Python runtime as a parent image


FROM python:3.9-slim




# Set the working directory in the container


WORKDIR /app




# Copy the current directory contents into the container at /app


COPY . /app




# Install any needed packages specified in requirements.txt


RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt




# Make port 80 available to the world outside this container


EXPOSE 80




# Define environment variable


ENV NAME CodeGenEngine




# Run app.py when the container launches


CMD ["uvicorn", "app.main:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "80"]


```




#docker-compose.yml:


```yaml


version: '3.8'




services:


  web:


    build: .


    ports:


      - "80:80"


    environment:


      - DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@db/codegen


    depends_on:


      - db




  db:


    image: postgres:12


    environment:


      POSTGRES_USER: user


      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password


      POSTGRES_DB: codegen


    volumes:


      - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data




volumes:


  postgres_data:


```




4. Code Generation Engine:




- Template Engine:


  - Jinja2: Use templates to define the structure of the generated code.


  


- Model-Driven Development:


  - Pydantic Models: Define the models for data validation and generation logic.


  


- Code Generation Logic:


  - Implement logic in `services/code_generator.py` to translate user configurations into functional code using templates.




5. API Endpoints:


- Define API endpoints in `api/endpoints/code_generation.py` to handle user requests and trigger the code generation process.




6. Sample Endpoint for Code Generation:




```python


from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends


from app.schemas import CodeGenRequest, CodeGenResponse


from app.services.code_generator import generate_code




router = APIRouter()




@router.post("/generate", response_model=CodeGenResponse)


def generate_code_endpoint(request: CodeGenRequest):


    code = generate_code(request)


    return {"code": code}


```




7. Sample Code Generation Logic:




```python


from jinja2 import Environment, FileSystemLoader


from app.schemas import CodeGenRequest




def generate_code(request: CodeGenRequest) -> str:


    env = Environment(loader=FileSystemLoader('app/templates'))


    template = env.get_template('template.py.j2')


    code = template.render(model=request.model)


    return code


```




8. Sample Template (`template.py.j2`):




```jinja


class {{ model.name }}:


    def __init__(self{% for field in model.fields %}, {{ field.name }}: {{ field.type }}{% endfor %}):


        {% for field in model.fields %}self.{{ field.name }} = {{ field.name }}


        {% endfor %}


```
