synapseformation

Client for using Synapse Formation Templates. Given one of these templates, synapseformation will be able to create all the components required in a Synapse Project. Currently the implementation does one of these two scenarios.

Only creates new entities, will fail if entity already exists.
Create entities that don't exist and gets the entity if it already exists, but does not update an entity.
