Converting a REST Client created with v. 1.18 to one using v. 2.

I am taking over the code for a Delphi REST client that was created using mORMot v. 1.18. I would like for the project to use the latest version of mORMot (v. 2). However, I am having a rather hard time doing so. Any hints/pointers would be greatly appreciated.

The old project has a unit named 'mORMotClient.pas.' The header for the file shows the following:

/// remote access to a mORMot server using SynCrossPlatform* units
// - retrieved from http://localhost:8089/root/wrapper/CrossPlatform/mORMotClient.pas
// at 2016-08-24 10:15:19 using "CrossPlatform.pas.mustache" template
unit mORMotClient;

{
  WARNING:
    This unit has been generated by a mORMot 1.18.2929 server.
    Any manual modification of this file may be lost after regeneration.

}

I am unable to locate the 'CrossPlatform.pas.mustache' file within the new version of mORMot. Is it still possible to generate the client wrapper using mORMot v. 2? It it is, is there a documentation available regarding this feature?

Re: Converting a REST Client created with v. 1.18 to one using v. 2.

AFAIK, CrossPlatform.pas does not exist any more. I successfully migrated my project from the old mORMot version to the new version.

One of the resources I used to try to map the classes in the old version to the new version was this

mORMot2 migration table

After that, I just asked questions here when I got stuck.

Cheers,

Thanks for the tip. The mORMot2 migration table appears to be very helpful.
