Dagen

Generate boilerplate output from a schema.

Dagen (DATA GENerator) is a tool for generating code for an application's data models using templates.

It works by pre-processing a JSON document in a JSON Schema simillar syntax then executing a user supplied template against the processed document.

Templates are generated using Nunjucks.

See the spec.md file for the specifics of the schema syntax.
