Code Generator
==============


CLI Entry Point
---------------

.. command-output:: xsdata --help

SOURCES
--------

You can pass a list of definitions or a directory which includes the xml schemas you
want to process.


.. code-block:: console

    $ xsdata amadeus/schemas --package amadeus.models

    $ xsdata air_v48_0/AirReqRsp.xsd rail_v48_0/RailReqRsp.xsd --package travelport.models


.. warning::

    The generator works only with local files, if the given schema includes other
    schemas with urls the generator will skip them.


Package
-------

The package option defines where the target module(s) will be created inside the current working directory.

If the main xsd has any parent include or import you should adjust the target package.

.. admonition:: Example
    :class: warning

    * Output directory ``./api/models``
    * Main xsd ``./api/air/AirReqRsp.xsd`` that includes ``../common/CommonReqRsp.xsd``
    * Adjust the package from ``api.models`` to ``api.models.air`` because the generator has to also create the ``common.common_req_rsp`` module.

Output
------

The output option changes the generation format.

* ``pydata``: Python lib `dataclasses <https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html>`_
* ``plantuml``: `PlantUML <https://plantuml.com/class-diagram>`_ class diagram

Verbosity
---------

The verbosity option changes what messages will be printed.

Available options: ``CRITICAL``, ``ERROR``, ``WARNING``, ``INFO`` or ``DEBUG``

Print
-----

The print flag overwrites the verbosity level to `Error` and print to stdOut the output result without writing to the target file.
