Singular vs. Plural names

[Christian Hammers]

Hello

My tables are usually called with plural names like "customers" as they contain
many rows. The generated ActiveRecord and POJO classes do thus also have this
name which looks ridiculous especially if I have lists of them:

Customers c = new Customers(); // a single one
List<Customers> customerss; // multiple

Is there any chance that JOOQ could be a little bit more clever about this?

The Propel ORM for example does a really good job using:
propel.builder.pluralizer.class = builder.util.StandardEnglishPluralizer
See http://propelorm.org/documentation/whats-new.html#better-pluralizer

Best Regards

jOOQ itself: Currently no. But you can:

http://www.jooq.org/doc/3.1/manual/code-generation/codegen-advanced/

By implementing a custom naming strategy, you can remove the trailing "s" from every table name.

 

The Propel ORM for example does a really good job using:
  propel.builder.pluralizer.class = builder.util.StandardEnglishPluralizer
See http://propelorm.org/documentation/whats-new.html#better-pluralizer

I'll have a look into that. Of course, a contribution would be very welcome as well ;-)

Cheers

Same problem here. Any solution?

[Lukas Eder]

The solution remains the same as in my previous E-Mail:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/jooq-user/ln27b0vDUsA/Efg6duVHABwJ

At the time, I had decided not to look into this any further. It would be unwise to make any assumptions about user languages and usage of plural / singular names, while, at the same time it is very easy for you (having domain knowledge) to implement a solution using the existing means.

Here are updated manual links to help you get started:

- Programmatic generator strategies: http://www.jooq.org/doc/latest/manual/code-generation/codegen-generatorstrategy

- Configurative generator strategies: http://www.jooq.org/doc/latest/manual/code-generation/codegen-matcherstrategy
