ObjectBox Generator v5.0.0

C/C++

• Support for external name and type annotations
• Add the new vector distance type "Geo"
• Bump the CMake min version to 3.5 for compatibility with CMake 4.x

Go

• Support for external name and type annotations

TypeScript/JavaScript

• Releasing a preview of JavaScript code generation, which can be used with the ObjectBox TS/JS library

v4.0.0

C++ improvements

• ObjectBox Generator is now integrated with CMake.
  You can now use add_obx_schema() directly from your C++ project.
  For details, check the Generator documentation page.
• Support for float vector properties and HNSW vector search indexing
• The generator is now statically linked for Linux making the executable usable from more distributions

v4.0.0-beta

See 4.0.0 final for release notes

v0.14.0

General improvements

• Update FlatBuffers to v23.5.26

C++ improvements

• The -cpp CLI parameter now defaults to (at least) C++14 output, e.g. now generates std::make_unique()
• Added new mode -cpp11 for C++11 output (C++11 stays the minimal supported version)
• New CLI parameters -empty-string-as-null and -nan-as-null to persist "special values" as null in the database
• Fixes to generated code that fills a given object with DB values: strings, vectors, and optional members are now properly reset on null values
• Update catch2 to 2.13.10

Getting Started Guide

v0.13.0

• align to-one relation ID model with other language bindings - don't use "unsigned" annotation
• add id-companion and date-nano annotations for Go to enable TimeSeries model definition

v0.12.0

• objectbox-generator can be run with a path pattern (glob or recursive path style - see objectbox-generator --help) to support entity removal
• support optional annotation on fields that you want to support NULL value semantics in C and C++; see objectbox-generator --help to specify a type for C++ code (std:: optional/shared_ptr/unique_ptr)
• add id(assignable) annotation you can use on an ID field if you want to manually set object IDs before inserting (instead of the default auto-increment ID assigned by ObjectBox)
• add sync(sharedGlobalIds) annotation to disable ID mapping on synced objects
• C++ generate code - make _OBX_MetaInfo a sub-struct in the generated struct instead of part of the "underscore" class - avoiding potential duplicate symbols

v0.11.0

• support specifying an index type with a unique annotation
• add sync entity annotation
• accommodate changes in objectbox-c v0.11.0

v0.10.1

• decrease FlatBuffers minimum version dependency to v1.11.0
• Go generator support comma in addition to space as a multiple annotation separator

v0.10.0

• update to objectbox-c v0.10.0 introducing many new C++ API features
• new generated C & C++ functions simplifying the most common operations
• split generated C++ code to headers (.obx.hpp) and sources (.obx.cpp) - make sure to use in your project and remove the old "-cpp.obx.h"
• support generating Go code moved from objectbox-gogen
• standalone (many-to-many) relation and date-nano annotation support

v0.9.1

• generated code fixes
• update to objectbox-c v0.9.1
