Share My Creation Experimental CodeBundle Reverser

Hi !!!

The code/project below is nothing more than the code from Erel's CodeBundle but reversed. Essentially, I couldn't resist...

What it does: reads the JSON and creates the project files in a folder. Layouts / Modules / B4J Project.

Of course, it still has its issues. That's why I'm sharing it here so we can find solutions.

No more problems in headers (thanks to @aeric fixes).
Many Thanks to @PaulMeuris for fix / selection of platform.
The problem it has is in the headers of the files (*.bas, *.b4j) - otherwise it works...

Erel's post:

[B4X] CodeBundle – Export Projects as a Single JSON for AI Analysis

Edit: An improved and integrated version of Code Bundle is included in B4A 13.5 and B4J v10.5. Soon to be added to B4i and B4R. The purpose of this tool is to easily export the complete project as a single json file which can be then fed to ChatGPT or any other capable AI bot for further...

Just have fun!

ps: It is working until today - Exported json from version 0.3 (Erel's CodeBundle)

Nice, I will say that the structure is likely to be changed in the (near) future. It is not designed to be reversible nor persistent. For example, I will probably filter out some of the layout data that is currently being generated and is less relevant for CodeBundle use case.

At bundleReverser.bas / Class
replace at line 81:

                ' Write layout file
                bal.ConvertJsonToBalInMemory(layout, filesDir, fileName) 'remove .SubString2(0, fileName.LastIndexOf("."))

There is a bug in Erel's CodeBundle causing first character of code in a class getting stripped.
Main module at line #227

cm.Code = text.SubString(i + 1) 'cm.Code = text.SubString(i + 2)

I have fixed bundleReverser.bas and tested for B4J project.
File attached.

Fixed in v0.31.

The fixes from @aeric make BundleReverser work for a b4a project.
The build configurations package name could also be modified:

    ' aeric: Hardcoded a Default Build
    Select platform
        Case "b4j"
            headers = headers & "Build1=Default,b4j." & projectName & CRLF
        Case "b4a"
            headers = headers & "Build1=Default,b4a." & projectName & CRLF
        Case "b4i"
            headers = headers & "Build1=Default,b4i." & projectName & CRLF
    End Select

This way the app gets the original name in stead of "example" provided that the project name is used for the package name.

Additions, at first post (v0.2)- now seems working very good.
