Schema-Generator

Achilles provides a command-line schema generator as well as an class to generate CQL schema script.

Usage

Command-line

First you need to compile your entity classes with Achilles and generate a .jar file. Then retrieve the
achilles-schema-generator--shaded.jar file from your Maven repository.

In a shell, type:

 
    java -cp <jar_containing_your_entity_classes>:achilles-schema-generator-<version>-shaded.jar info.archinnov.achilles.schema.SchemaGenerator -target <target_cql_script> -keyspace <keyspace_name> 

The generator will scan your <jar_containing_your_entity_classes> file for the generated meta classes and
generate the CQL schema into the <target_cql_script> file using the provided <keyspace_name>.

Please note that if the keyspace name is defined statically on the entity using @Table, it will override
the given <keyspace_name>

As a jar dependency

You can also use the SchemaGenerator in a project by pulling the Maven dependency

   
    <dependency>
        <groupId>info.archinnov</groupId>
        <artifactId>achilles-schema-generator</artifactId>
        <version>${achilles.version}</version>
    </depepdency>
    

Usage:

    // Create a schema String
    String cqlSchema = SchemaGenerator.builder()
        .withKeyspace("default_keyspace_name")
        .generateCustomTypes(true) //default = true 
        .generateIndices(true) //default = true
        .generate();
        
    
    /**
     * 
     * Generate to an instance of java.lang.Appendable
     *
     */    
    SchemaGenerator.builder()
        .withKeyspace("default_keyspace_name")
        .generateCustomTypes(true) //default = true 
        .generateIndices(true) //default = true
        .generateTo(appendable);
         
    /**
     * 
     * Generate to an instance of java.io.File
     *
     */    
    SchemaGenerator.builder()
        .withKeyspace("default_keyspace_name")
        .generateCustomTypes(true) //default = true 
        .generateIndices(true) //default = true
        .generateTo(file);
                 
    /**
     * 
     * Generate to an instance of java.nio.file.Path
     *
     */    
    SchemaGenerator.builder()
        .withKeyspace("default_keyspace_name")
        .generateCustomTypes(true) //default = true 
        .generateIndices(true) //default = true
        .generateTo(path);
