Generating your code


NOTE: You can watch a video which demonstrates the explanation below.

Generate your code and download the zip file generated.

Extract the contents into a folder. You should see 2 folders 3 folders and 1 file, as shown below. The “objects” folder contains your generated object(s) along with a database wrapper. The “setup” folder contains the setup file(s) and image(s). The plugins folder contain a base64 plugin by default. More ‘official’ as well as 3rd party or even home-brewed plugins can be added to this folder for added functionality.

This is a detailed view of the folder hierarchy and contents of the generated object package:

The objects folder contain your generated objects.
The setup folder contains POG setup which will help you get things up-and-running after you’ve done the code generation part.
The plugins folder contain, by default, the base64 plugin that we provide in case you want seemless encoding-decoding of your data.
The configuration file is, as the name indicates, is the only file you need to edit to get things running.

NOTE:
If you’ve used POG 2.x before and compare this ‘new’ package structure (POG 3) over the one POG 2.x generated a couple of months ago, you’ll notice things have become slightly more complex, as we’ve added some new functionality. However, things are still in-line with our original philosophy of keeping things as simple and clean as possible.
