Node.js Scripts

The scripts/ directory contains Node.js utilities that produce generated config files consumed by the frontend. These output files are fully re-generatable — commit only the scripts, not the output.

`generate-table-names.js` — Table Names

Scans all config/versioned/json/**/data.json files (latest version of each entity), reads tableName, and writes config/tableNames.js — a dropdown-ready [{ label, value }] array sorted alphabetically.


./index.js gen:table-names

Output (config/tableNames.js):


export const TableNames = [
  { label: "Accounting Account",       value: "accounts" },
  { label: "Accounting Account Type",  value: "account_types" },
  { label: "Bill",                     value: "bills" },
  { label: "Invoice",                  value: "invoices" },
  // count grows as entities are generated
];

`generate-entity-names.js` — Entity / Resource Names

Same scan but reads resourceName (the API resource slug) and writes config/entityNames.js.


node scripts/generate-entity-names.js

Output (config/entityNames.js):


export const EntityNames = [
  { label: "Accounting Account",  value: "accounting_accounts" },
  { label: "Bill",                value: "bills" },
  // ...
];

Label Derivation

Both scripts use entityToLabel():


function entityToLabel(entity) {
  const parts = entity.split('/');
  const bundleName = (parts[0] || '').replace(/Bundle$/i, '');
  const entityName = parts[1] || parts[0];
 
  const combined = entityName.startsWith(bundleName)
    ? entityName
    : bundleName + entityName;
 
  return capitalize(combined);  // camelCase-aware word splitting
}

Example: AccountingBundle/AccountType → AccountingAccountType → Accounting Account Type

How to Use the Output

Import the generated constants in entity index.tsx files or frontend components:


import { TableNames } from "../tableNames";
import { PropertyTypes } from "../propertyTypes";
 
// Used in formInputs optionsArrayFinite:
{
  key: "tableName",
  type: ColumnTypeEnum.SELECT,
  optionsArrayFinite: TableNames,
}

Both files are generated artifacts — the entry count grows or shrinks as entities are added or removed from config/versioned/json/. Re-run after generating new entities.

Static Files

`config/propertyTypes.js`

A manually maintained static list of custom property types used as form field options:


export const PropertyTypes = [
  { label: 'Text',      value: 'text' },
  { label: 'Number',    value: 'int' },
  { label: 'Date',      value: 'date' },
  { label: 'Date Time', value: 'datetime' },
  { label: 'Boolean',   value: 'bool' },
  { label: 'Float',     value: 'float' },
  { label: 'HTML',      value: 'html' },
  { label: 'Money',     value: 'money' },
  { label: 'Dropdown',  value: 'dropdown' },
];

Unlike tableNames.js and entityNames.js, this file is not generated — it is maintained manually and committed to the repository.
