Generate Code wo main code

[tomelgato]

Would be nice to be able to toggle between export of the main.cpp file or just a simple list with the callbacks. I dont like my main file to get messed up (my callbacks are in another file) and integrate the callbacks manually. Right now i need to delete the generated main file after every code generation....

If you either type an @ in front of the function name or press edit next to the function edit box you can select declaration only. Either option does not create the callback instead just declaring the prototype in the project_menu.h file, then you must implement it somewhere yourself.

So in terms of checking if there are any callback that require implementation, probably a stream operation here that throws if there are any matches, ie not starting with '@'.

and then here I guess we'd only generate/modify the main file if needed.

The only thing that would need to be sorted out is a little work in the list generation to ensure that every bit of code does not require a main implementation.

Where does TCMenu get the name from which it uses for he generated files?

Project directory name for Arduino compatibility. The INO must match the project directory name.

True with INO but obsolete with PIO ;)

What about a checkbox which toggles between default INO environment (so like it is now) and custom environment.
With custom you are able to set the names for main and menu files and toggle if main file should be created at all
