Copy & Integrate - protospatial/NodeToCode GitHub Wiki

---

To use the translated code:

1. Select the appropriate tab

2. Click the "Copy" button in the bottom-right corner of the code editor

3. The code is now in your clipboard, ready to paste into your IDE

   

When integrating the translated code:

1. Create New Files

   • Make a new header file (.h) for declarations
   • Create a new source file (.cpp) for implementations
   • Follow your project's file naming conventions

2. Paste and Review

   • Paste the copied code into your project source file/IDE of choice
   • Check include statements and dependencies
   • Verify namespace usage matches your project
   • Review class names and inheritance

3. Manual Refinement

   // Example of common adjustments needed:
   
   // Before (generated):
   UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable)
   void ProcessData(const TArray<FString>& Data);
   
   // After (refined):
   UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable, Category = "MyGame|DataProcessing")
   void ProcessData(const TArray<FString>& Data);
   

4. Compilation Check

   • Attempt to compile the new code
   • Address any compiler errors
   • Fix include paths if needed
   • Resolve any missing dependencies

• Keep the original Blueprint until the code is fully tested
• Document any manual changes made to the generated code
• Test the C++ implementation against the Blueprint behavior
• Consider creating unit tests for the new code
• Update any dependent systems to use the new C++ functions

Remember that Node to Code accelerates the translation process but doesn't replace the need for proper code review and testing. Use the generated code as a foundation, then apply your expertise, critical thinking, and/or further research to ensure it meets your project's quality standards.
