Introduction

The Is CodeGen Plugin Enabled checkbox controls whether Gum generates code automatically to the destination location specified by the Code Project Root. Gum automatically generates code if:

  • The Is CodeGen Plugin Enabled is checked

  • A Code Project Root is specified

  • An object has its Generation Behavior set to GenerateAutomaticallyOnPropertyChange

If this option is unchecked, then code will not automatically be saved to disk even if the other options are set.

For more information on automatic code generation, see the section on .
