The export module is a code generation module for Project Forge applications. It generates comprehensive Go code based on your project’s schema definition, creating standardized service interfaces, model contracts, and data export functionality.

Overview

This module is optional and marked as dangerous due to its code generation capabilities. When enabled, it provides:

• Service Interface Generation: Generic CRUD service interfaces for all schema models
• Model Contracts: Standardized interfaces and implementations for data models
• Data Export: CSV and other format export capabilities for all models
• Search Functionality: Integrated search interfaces for model queries
• Soft Delete Support: Configurable soft delete patterns for models

Key Features

Code Generation

• Generates Go service interfaces from schema definitions
• Creates standardized CRUD operations for all models
• Implements consistent error handling patterns
• Provides type-safe model interfaces

Data Management

• Generic service layer with configurable implementations
• Soft delete support with automatic filtering
• Search and filtering capabilities
• Batch operations and transactions

Export Capabilities

• CSV export for all generated models
• Configurable export formats
• Data transformation pipelines
• Streaming export for large datasets

Package Structure

Generated Services

• Service Interfaces - Generic CRUD operations for each model

  • Create, Read, Update, Delete operations
  • List and search functionality
  • Bulk operations support
  • Transaction-aware implementations

• Model Contracts - Standardized model interfaces

  • Type-safe property access
  • Validation and serialization
  • Export format implementations
  • Search index integration

Export Infrastructure

• Export Services - Data export functionality
  • Multiple format support (CSV, JSON, etc.)
  • Streaming for large datasets
  • Configurable field selection
  • Data transformation hooks

Configuration

This module generates code based on your project’s schema configuration. The generated services respect:

• Model-specific configuration options
• Soft delete settings per model
• Custom validation rules
• Export field configurations

Important Notes

The generated code follows Project Forge conventions and integrates seamlessly with other modules.
