It is really a good module and the most needed than any thing else than the drupal it self.
Of all open source CMS systems Drupal has the best community support. the one thing that is preventing users choosing drupal is the coding knowledge requirement for module development.While Module builder is a good initiative,if again to use this module if a user requires coding knowledge then the purpose of this module is lost.
I am late in finding this module but i have to say what i want to say on this.
a GUI based module creator will be better at current situation
I see a lot of work has already been done to identify and pull available hooks
I suggest:
User input driven dialogue oriented GUi,Like fields
1.Module name you want to create=
What you want to do: 1 modify a content 2.xyzz (determines which hook will be used)
when the action should be taken 1. creation 2 up dating 3. deletion 4.Revision
what are the conditions : (if in array)
what is the selection (filed_info or filed type, are field name))
case 1(if)
case 2(else if)
case 3(else)
condition to be applied:(foreach or only specific)
what are the arguments:
Comparators:
Actions when all the conditions arguments and every this met:
what should be done with the result:
Amy be more information is required to generate the code i am not aware , this is an example
I do not have any coding back ground or knowledge, but just what ever i know i just have put it here to explain.After user enters the data a module file should be created automatically in the back ground
which should include commented out check points like set message, debug where ever is required.
a meticulous planning and flow will definitely will create a fully functional error free module
I suggest this kind of approach, may be it is difficult but not impossible ,some one has to start somewhere
