This tool is the result of a master's thesis in MDSE research group at Isfahan University and contains a set of Eclipse plugins that enable you to generate a WordPress plugin by graphical modelling. We use a Model-Driven approach to generate codes from the model.
WPCrudRest framework is currently only available as a plugin for Eclipse. It used Sirius to provide a graphical modelling environment and Acceleo to transform models to code.
