Human to machine
This program translates human language to Meteor Kitchen input .json file.
This is just initial commit, more details will be added soon.
Usage
human2machine input_file.txt [output_file.json]
Meteor Kitchen automatically executes human2machine, converts .txt file to .json and builds application:
meteor-kitchen input_file.txt ./output_dir
(you need latest version of meteor kitchen)
Example input files
Example 1 - CRUD
I want site with three pages: home, customers and about.
In home page I want jumbotron with title: "This application is written in English language!", text: "Human to describe app, machine to write code!", button url: "customers".
Please create one collection: customers.
In customers collection I want three fields: name, address and e-mail.
In customers page I want CRUD for customers collection.
In about page I want text: "This application is written in English language using Meteor Kitchen, source code generator for Meteor".
Live application is here.
Example 2 - IoT
I want site with one page.
Create one collection: sensors.
In sensors collection I want fields: topic and message.
Connect sensors collection to mosquitto server: "test.mosquitto.org" and subscribe to topic: revspace/sensors/#.

Live application is here.
Syntax
- It's important to finish each sentence with a dot. Newlines are not important and are ignored by parser.
- To define a list you can say
4 pages
orfour pages
. After type name you can list element names after colon and separate items with comma:three fields: name, address and e-mail
. If element names are not listed, they will be automatically named as type + item_index ("field0", "field1", "field2"). Exception is page names: "page0" will be named "home" and other pages: "page1", "page2"... - To add component or text into page, say
in page_name page
(word betweenin
andpage
is interpreted as page name). If you make a typo and page name is unknown - complete sentence is ignored. - To define collection fields say
in collection_name collection
(word betweenin
andcollection
is interpreted as collection name). If you make a typo and collection name is unknown - complete sentence is ignored. - In examples above, most of words are added to make text readable to human and are ignored by parser:
Example 1 with important words only:
Three pages: home, customers and about.
In home page jumbotron title: "This application is written in human language!", text: "Human to describe app, machine to write code!", button url: "customers".
One collection: customers.
In customers collection three fields: name, address and e-mail.
In customers page CRUD for customers collection.
In about page text: "This application is written in human language using Meteor Kitchen, code generator for Meteor".
Example 2 with important words only:
One page.
One collection: sensors.
In sensors collection fields: topic and message.
Connect sensors collection mosquitto server: "test.mosquitto.org", topic: revspace/sensors/#.
