Guide Step 2 DSL Model

Telosys User Guide - DSL Model

Create a DSL Model

To create a DSL Model use the nm (New Model) command

Example :

nm cars will create the "cars" DSL model

Use the lm (List Models) command to see all models defined in the current project

When a new model has been created it is set as the "current model"

Use the env command to see what is currently defined in the project

INFO :
If you prefer you can reuse an existing DSL model (instead of creating a new one from scratch). For that you can download a basic DSL model from here : http://www.telosys.org/download/models-v3/
After download just unzip the file in the "TelosysTools" folder

Create an ENTITY in the current model

The le (List Entities) command can be used to see all the entities of the current model

Obviously, at the beginning there's no entity.

To create an entity use the ne (New Entity) command

Examples :

ne Car will create the "Car" entity in the "cars" model

ne Driver will create the "Driver" entity in the "cars" model

etc

Edit an ENTITY

To define an entity you must define all its attributes, for that use the ee (Edit Entity) command.

Example :

ee Driver will launch the external editor to edit the "Driver.entity" file.

NB : Telosys cannot launch an external editor if your Operating System doesn't have a GUI, for example a Linux server without GUI. In this case you will have to edit the ".entity" files outside in a separated console.

Delete an entity or a model

de Driver will delete the "Driver" entity

dm cars will delete the "cars" model
