Class: slreportgen.report.DataDictionary
Package: slreportgen.report

Create subclass of slreportgen.report.DataDictionary class

Syntax

reporter = slreportgen.report.DataDictionary.customizeReporter(classpath)


Description

reporter = slreportgen.report.DataDictionary.customizeReporter(classpath) creates a reporter class definition file that defines a subclass of slreportgen.report.DataDictionary at the location specified by classpath. The method also copies the default reporter templates to the resources/templates subfolder of the folder that contains the class definition file. You can use the class definition file as a starting point to design a custom data dictionary reporter class for your report.

Input Arguments

classpath — Path and name of new class definition file

string scalar | character vector

Path and name of new class definition file, specified as a string scalar or character vector.

You can specify a relative path or an absolute path. For example, this code creates MyClass.m in the subfolder myFolder of the current folder.

slreportgen.report.DataDictionary.customizeReporter("myFolder/MyClass")

To create the reporter class in a class folder, precede the class name with the @ character. Do not specify the .m extension. For example, this code creates MyClass.m in the subfolder myFolder/@MyClass in the current folder.

slreportgen.report.DataDictionary.customizeReporter("myFolder/@MyClass")

See Folders Containing Class Definitions.

To create the reporter class in a class package, precede the folder name with the + character. For example, this code creates a data dictionary reporter in the myOrg package folder in the current folder.

slreportgen.report.DataDictionary.customizeReporter("+myOrg/@MyClass")

Output Arguments

reporter — Path and file name of new reporter class

string scalar

Path and file name of the new reporter class, returned as a string scalar.
