Widget generator

This artifact is used in conjunction with the widget-configuration-model artifact.

The generator contains a number of annotations that can be used to decorate fields on a POJO. Then, the parser class is able to parse the POJOs and generate a configuration model with them.

The annotations that are exposed are as follows:

• @Widget: This annotation is expected to be used on a class that implements the WidgetStencil interface. It contains information about the name of the widget, and which POJO is used to convey its configuration information. For an example on how to use the WidgetStencil class, please refer to the lmzwidget artifact.|
• @ExposeAs: This annotation is used on fields in the POJO. It contains information about its type, any regexp validation, whether it's required or not etc. |
• @Option: The option annotation contains key/value pairs for types that are exposed as lists. |

Below you can find an example of a configuration POJO:

class PrototypeWidgetConfiguration {

	@ExposeAs(
		label = "Title",
		description = "This is title that is being displayed",
		required = true
	)
	String title;

	@ExposeAs(
		label = "Teaser description",
		description = "The teaser text shown in the widget",
		type = VariableConstants.Type.TEXTAREA
	)
	String teaser;

	@ExposeAs(
		label = "Links to",
		pattern = VariableConstants.Pattern.URL
	)
	String moreLink;

	@ExposeAs(
		label = "Count up to",
		required = true,
		group = "Counter"
	)
	Long countTo;

	@ExposeAs(
		label = "Text to count with",
		required = true,
		group = "Counter"
	)
	String countToText;

}
