First off, if you’re not familiar with WorkFlowy you may want to watch this video. WorkFlowy is quite simply a list maker and based on my own usage of planning out a program / script I decided to create a script to take an exported list and convert it into a the workings of the program itself.
The script that I wrote is in PHP and only generates PHP files. I lost interest in the project, at least in the capacity of adding support for additional languages, so I took it down from my github (oh yeah, and no one was interested in the project itself ;))
At best, you can use this to take a list like this:
- My Script
- [IF] Check if file exists
- Reads the file in
- [FOREACH] Loops through the data
- [IF] Check if the data is empty
- Processes the data
- [ELSE]
- Does some other stuff
- Closes the file
- [WHILE] Just a while loop
- Increment counter
And turn it into something like this:
<?php
/**
* My Script
*/
// Check if file exists
if ($var == true)
{
}
// Reads the file in
// Loops through the data
foreach ($array as $key => $value)
{
// Check if the data is empty
if ($var == true)
{
// Processes the data
}
else
{
// Does some other stuff
}
}
// Closes the file
// Just a while loop
while ($i < 10)
{
// Increment counter
}
?>
