Synchronize Constants across Different Languages

Below are several different language files that all contain a definition of the same constants. SyncBlock gives you a single source to unify these different languages to ensure they are always synchronized.

Here Are Just a Few Examples

• JavaScript
• C-Sharp
• Xml
• Delphi

JavaScript

export default class consts {
//<syncblock id="My.Constants" version="JavaScript">
    static UriScheme = 'http';
    static UriHost = 'localhost';
    static UriPort = 3000;
    static UriPath = '/';
    static Uri = `${this.UriScheme}://${this.UriHost}:${this.UriPort}${this.UriPath}`;

    static MessageId = 'app.message';
//</syncblock>
}

C-Sharp

namespace dotnet_app
{
    class Consts
    {
//<syncblock id="My.Constants" version="CSharp">
        public static string UriScheme = "http";
        public static string UriHost = "localhost";
        public static int UriPort = 3000;
        public static string UriPath = "/";
        public static string Uri = UriScheme + "://" + UriHost + ":" + UriPort.ToString() + UriPath;

        public static string MessageId = "app.message";
//</syncblock>
    }
}

Xml

<XmlData>
    <Consts>
<!--<syncblock id="My.Constants" version="Xml">-->
        <Value Name="UriScheme">http</Value>
        <Value Name="UriHost">localhost</Value>
        <Value Name="UriPort">3000</Value>
        <Value Name="UriPath">/</Value>
        <Value Name="Uri">http://localhost:3000/</Value>
        <Value Name="MessageId">app.message</Value>
<!--</syncblock>-->
    </Consts>
</XmlData>

Delphi

unit Consts;

interface

//<syncblock id="My.Constants" version="Delphi.Top">
type
  TConsts = record
  strict private
    function GetUri: string;
  public
    UriScheme: string;
    UriHost: string;
    UriPort: integer;
    UriPath: string;
    MessageId: string;
    property Uri: string read GetUri;
  end;

var
  Consts: TConsts = (
    UriScheme: 'http';
    UriHost: 'localhost';
    UriPort: 3000;
    UriPath: '/';
    MessageId: 'app.message';
  );
//</syncblock>

implementation

uses
  System.SysUtils;

//<syncblock id="My.Constants" version="Delphi.Bottom">
function TConsts.GetUri: string;
begin
  Result := Format('%s://%s:%d%s', [UriScheme, UriHost, UriPort, UriPath]);
end;
//</syncblock>

end.

And Many, Many More…

SyncBlock supports just about any language or file format that can have comments, including:

• PowerShell
• TypeScript
• C++
• Go
• Ruby
• YAML
• Text Files
• Bash Scripts
• Batch Files
