Maven (Java)

Add to your pom.xml:

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
      <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>3.1.0</version>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <id>generate-fory-types</id>
          <phase>generate-sources</phase>
          <goals>
            <goal>exec</goal>
          </goals>
          <configuration>
            <executable>foryc</executable>
            <arguments>
              <argument>${project.basedir}/src/main/fdl/schema.fdl</argument>
              <argument>--java_out</argument>
              <argument>${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/fory</argument>
            </arguments>
          </configuration>
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

Add generated sources:

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
      <artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>3.4.0</version>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <phase>generate-sources</phase>
          <goals>
            <goal>add-source</goal>
          </goals>
          <configuration>
            <sources>
              <source>${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/fory</source>
            </sources>
          </configuration>
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

Gradle (Java/Kotlin)

Add to build.gradle:

task generateForyTypes(type: Exec) {
    commandLine 'foryc',
        "${projectDir}/src/main/fdl/schema.fdl",
        '--java_out', "${buildDir}/generated/sources/fory"
}

compileJava.dependsOn generateForyTypes

sourceSets {
    main {
        java {
            srcDir "${buildDir}/generated/sources/fory"
        }
    }
}

Python (setuptools)

Add to setup.py or pyproject.toml:

# setup.py
from setuptools import setup
from setuptools.command.build_py import build_py
import subprocess

class BuildWithForyIdl(build_py):
    def run(self):
        subprocess.run([
            'foryc',
            'schema.fdl',
            '--python_out', 'src/generated'
        ], check=True)
        super().run()

setup(
    cmdclass={'build_py': BuildWithForyIdl},
    # ...
)

Go (go generate)

Add to your Go file:

//go:generate foryc ../schema.fdl --lang go --output .
package models

Run:

go generate ./...

Rust (build.rs)

Add to build.rs:

use std::process::Command;

fn main() {
    println!("cargo:rerun-if-changed=schema.fdl");

    let status = Command::new("foryc")
        .args(&["schema.fdl", "--rust_out", "src/generated"])
        .status()
        .expect("Failed to run foryc");

    if !status.success() {
        panic!("Fory IDL compilation failed");
    }
}

CMake (C++)

Add to CMakeLists.txt:

find_program(FORY_COMPILER foryc)

add_custom_command(
    OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/generated/example.h
    COMMAND ${FORY_COMPILER}
        ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/schema.fdl
        --cpp_out ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/generated
    DEPENDS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/schema.fdl
    COMMENT "Generating Fory IDL types"
)

add_custom_target(generate_fory_idl DEPENDS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/generated/example.h)

add_library(mylib ...)
add_dependencies(mylib generate_fory_idl)
target_include_directories(mylib PRIVATE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/generated)

Bazel

Create a rule in BUILD:

genrule(
    name = "generate_fdl",
    srcs = ["schema.fdl"],
    outs = ["generated/example.h"],
    cmd = "$(location //:fory_compiler) $(SRCS) --cpp_out $(RULEDIR)/generated",
    tools = ["//:fory_compiler"],
)

cc_library(
    name = "models",
    hdrs = [":generate_fdl"],
    # ...
)

Dart / Flutter

Add the Fory dependency to pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  fory: ^1.6.1

dev_dependencies:
  build_runner: ^2.4.0

Generate schema types with the compiler:

foryc schema.fdl --dart_out=lib/generated

Then run build_runner to generate the serializers:

dart run build_runner build
