Example Used Across the Documentation
In order to provide examples in this section of the website, we have created an example DSL called Insurance. This example is consistently applied across all pages in this section of the website.
It’s helpful to understand what this DSL is about before exploring the examples. The complete sources
of the DSL are available in the samples directory of the master branch on GitHub.
The gist of the Insurance language is
that it defines two types of units. One unit holds a set of parts of insurance products for a single theme,
like ‘Home’, or ‘Health’. This set is called a BaseProduct. The second contains a complete insurance
product that consists of a number of insurance parts from one or more BaseProducts. This is called an InsuranceProduct.
An InsuranceProduct has an expression called calculation that describes the expected cost of this product.
To simplify this expression helper functions may be defined. Each of these is called a CalcFunction.
The following figure shows a UML class diagram of the concepts in the language.
