Get started quickly

Install

  1. Install dotnet sdk 8.0 or higher version sdk
  2. Download luban_examples project. The project contains test configurations and a large number of example projects. For convenience, the files mentioned later refer to the files in this project by default.
tip

The Luban in the luban_examples/Tools/Luban directory may not be the latest version. Developers can either download the latest version of Luban directly from release, or compile it themselves from Luban source code.

Prepare to configure the project

Use MiniTemplate in the luban_examples project directly, and subsequent operations will be modified on this basis. You can also copy MiniTemplate to another directory and then modify it, but you need to modify the relevant path in the MiniTemplate/gen.bat file.

Create Reward table

Create the reward.xlsx file in the MiniTemplate/Datas directory with the following content:

reward

A brief introduction to the file format:

  • Line 1 is the field name line. Cell A1 must start with ##. Indicates that this is a valid data table.
  • Line 2 is the field type line. Cell 1 must be ##type.
  • Line 3 is the grouping line. c means the field belongs to the client, s means it belongs to the server, c,s means it belongs to everyone at the same time, leaving it blank also means it belongs to everyone.
  • Line 4 is the comment line. To ... beginning. There can be 0-N comment lines and can appear anywhere
  • Line 5 onwards is the data line.

Luban does not limit the position and number of header lines. Lines like ##xxx can be ordered and positioned arbitrarily, while ##group and ## lines are also optional.

It is recommended to use field names in the xx_yy_zz style, because luban will automatically convert it to The name of the naming style recommended for the language. You can also manually specify your desired command style.

Add the reward table declaration in __tables__.xlsx in the Datas directory, as shown below:

reward

This completes the creation of the reward table!

Project preparation

Take the most common unity + c# + json as an example. The example reference project is Csharp_Unity_Json, For other types, please refer to the corresponding projects in the Projects directory.

Install the com.code-philosophy.luban package in Package Manager at the address https://gitee.com/focus-creative-games/luban_unity.githttps://github.com/focus-creative-games/luban_unity.git (or from https://github.com/focus-creative- games/luban_unitydownload).

Prepare to generate script

danger

If your excel file directory is not the Datas directory at the same level as the luban.conf file like MiniTemplates, you need to modify the dataDir field in luban.conf.

Create a gen.bat file and place it under the project (the location is not required).


set LUBAN_DLL=<Luban.dll path>
set CONF_ROOT=<DataTables path>

dotnet %LUBAN_DLL% ^
-tclient^
-c cs-simple-json ^
-djson^
--conf %CONF_ROOT%\luban.conf ^
-x outputCodeDir=<cs code output directory> ^
-x outputDataDir=<json data output directory>

pause

Briefly introduce the parameters in the bat file:

  • LUBAN_DLL Path to the Luban.dll file. Point to luban_examples/Tools/Luban/Luban.dll
  • CONF_ROOT path to the configuration project. Point to luban_examples/DataTables
  • '-t' generate target. Can be values such as client, server, all
  • '-c' Type of code generated. cs-simple-json generates c# code that uses SimpleJSON to load json data
  • '-d' generated data type
  • 'outputCodeDir' C# code output directory
  • 'outputDataDir' json data output directory

Adjust the configuration paths in the bat file to appropriate values. If you have any doubts, you can refer to the gen.bat file of the Csharp_Unity_Json project. Running the script, if everything goes well, will produce a series of logs, the last line of which is bye~.

Load configuration

All configuration tables can be loaded with just one line of code. It is only loaded once during the entire game run (unless the configuration is reloaded during runtime). In practice, tables are saved after they are created for subsequent use.


string gameConfDir = "<outputDataDir>"; // Replace with the directory pointed to by outputDataDir in gen.bat
var tables = new cfg.Tables(file => JSON.Parse(File.ReadAllText($"{gameConfDir}/{file}.json")));

Use configuration

cfg.Tables contains an instance field for all configuration tables. After loading cfg.Tables, use tables.<table name> to obtain the table instance, and then perform subsequent operations on the table. For example, if we want to print the reward information with Reward table id = 1001, the code is as follows:

cfg.demo.Reward reward = tables.TbReward.Get(1001);
Console.WriteLine("reward:{0}", reward);

You may notice that the first letters of the reward table field names id, name, and desc are capitalized. This is because the tool will automatically convert the field names according to the corresponding coding style according to the output language, that is, boo_bar will be converted into a name like BooBar. Therefore, it is recommended to use the xx_yy_zz style for field names in the configuration.

This completes the configuration usage example!
