DataSourceFactoryFromName (MPS.Core (JetBrains MPS 2019.1.0))

All Known Implementing Classes:

FilePerRootDataSourceFactory, RegularFileDataSourceFactory
```
public interface DataSourceFactoryFromName
```
Interface for creating a new DataSource from a given model name. It is somehow vital to extract the strategy defining the location (data source) of the new model when the name is given. One could choose the place to store a model in various ways depending on the structure of the model name (for example if we are java-minded we might store a model with a name 'my.favourite.package.modelName' as a folder cascade: 'my/favourite/package/modelName.mps'). It is used when we create a new model from anywhere (IDE, tests, etc.).

@NotNull
DataSourceType getType()

    Returns:
    
    the type of the created data sources
  - create
```
@NotNull
DataSource create(@NotNull
                  SModelName modelName,
                  @NotNull
                  SourceRoot sourceRoot)
```
    This is invoked in order to create a new model from scratch given only its name. For instance it might be useful if we want to put a model accordingly to it's fq name or if we want to provide some specific extension of the new model file (if we are based on file system).
    
    Parameters:
    
    modelName - new model name
    
    sourceRoot - source root which will host the newly created model
    
    Returns:
    
    new data source which points to location generated by this method from the model name
