Custom Properties

You have the flexibility to effortlessly incorporate your own properties into Moon Modeler projects. These properties can be showcased directly on the diagram and in UI, allowing you to conveniently modify their values in the right side panel. Furthermore, you can seamlessly integrate them into HTML reports and leverage them to generate your own scripts or other outputs.

• Syntax highlighting – especially useful for javascript or json code
• Open folder with templates
• Reload templates – if you add a custom template
• Documentation – link to documentation

Modal Forms & Custom Template Based Scripts

The generated script for the selected object can be viewed also on the object Detail modal form. Navigate to the Script tab where you will find everything you need, including:

• Generation settings
• Before and after scripts
• Custom code
• Script and Templates with custom template based output.

The combination of all options and possibilities provides exceptional flexibility!

Templates Structure

When you open the templates folder, you will see a simple structure. To create a custom template, just create one simple json file describing the template and one hbs file containing the template written in Handlebars. You then only need to write a few lines of code to output a list of findOne statements for your collections. Writing templates is easy and based on a well-known templating system. There is no need to reinvent the wheel!
