SPOD Macros & Erazor

Hi List

I'm working on a tutorial for using UFront, SPOD Macros and Erazor to create Web-Apps. So far it's going quite well, hope to post it soon.

One quick question / issue I'm having (I'll try to simplify the code):

My model: Question.hx

@:index(userID)

class Question extends sys.db.Object
{
    public var id:SUId;
    @:relation(userID) public var user:User;
    public var title:SString<255>;
    public var text:Null<SSmallText>;
    public var date:SDateTime;
    public var answered:Bool;
    public function answers():List<Answer>
    {
        return Answer.manager.search($questionID == id);
    }
    public function numberOfAnswers():Int
    {
        return Answer.manager.count($questionID == id);
    }
    public static var manager = new sys.db.Manager<Question>(Question);
}

Nice and simple here...

In my controller: QuestionController.hx

class QuestionController extends Controller
{
    public function list()
    {
        var questionList = model.Question.manager.all();
        return new ViewResult( {
            questions : questionList
        });
    }
}

Again, too easy :)

In my view: questions/list.html

<h1>Questions</h1>
@for (question in questions)
{
    <div class="question">
        <h2>@question.title</h2>
        <h4 class="user">Date: @question.get_user().username</h4>
        <h4 class="date">User: @question.date</h4>
        <h4 class="date">Number of Answers: @question.numberOfAnswers()</h4>
        <p>@question.text</p>
    </div>
}

All working, awesome.

Now, what I would really like to do, to make it super easy, is make the mapping from "var user;" to "@user" in the template work. Currently we get:

@question.get_user() => model.User
@question.userID => Int
@question.user => null

If I wanted to make @question.user return the same as @question.get_user(), would I have to look at SPOD Macros, at Erazor, or at my own code?

If we can nail that it's just one extra nicety for developing database driven apps :)
(p.s. Loving your work Franco and Nicolas and anyone else involved)

This would be feasible by using future Reflect.getProperty instead of
Reflect.field, but might slowdown all other fields accesses.

One thing that we did in Templo is to make a convention : all fields
accesses starting with un underscore such as ::question._user:: are
automatically translated to ::question.get_user()::

Nicolas

Re: SPOD Macros & Erazor

Hi Jason,

first of all I am really glad you are using ufront, I am really eager to see your tutorial.

In the git version of erazor there is already support for getters; they must be enabled adding -D getter_support to your compilation command.

If you can check that it works for you I will be glad to make a new release on haxelib before your tutorial goes live.

Any detail how does it work ?

Re: SPOD Macros & Erazor

Hi Nicolas,

I gave a few explanations in this thread :
http://haxe.1354130.n2.nabble.com/Haxe-JS-ignores-getters-setters-when-using-Reflect-setField-td6816036.html
The original idea comes from you though :)
http://lists.motion-twin.com/pipermail/haxe/2011-September/thread.html#48031

For the moment, only getters are completely implemented, but I'd like
to add setters soon, as well as Dynamic<T> / resolve().
IMHO, it would make sense to move it to hscript, if you're
interrested, if not the standard library.

Cheers,
Clément

In reply to this post by Franco Ponticelli

Hi Franco

I'm having trouble getting it to compile. I have placed the latest erazor (git) and also the latest hscript (svn) in my src directory, but it's giving me this error:

src/erazor/hscript/ReflectMacro.hx:24: characters 39-57 : haxe.macro.#Context has no field currentPos

To be honest I'm still a complete newbie with understanding macros so not sure if it's a problem there or not. I'm running haXe 2.09-r4016 if it makes any difference.

Any ideas?

Jason

Re: SPOD Macros & Erazor

Hi Clément

That's compiling now, thanks :) Now to see if the changes are working...

<h1>Questions</h1>
@for (question in questions)
{
    <div class="question">
        <h2>@question.title</h2>
        <h4 class="user">User: @question.user.username</h4>
        <h4 class="date">Date: @question.date</h4>
        <h4 class="date">Number of Answers: @question.numberOfAnswers()</h4>
        <p>@question.text</p>
    </div>
}

Yep! That's fantastic!

Thanks so much for your help / work :) It's a clever solution, I like it.

Re: SPOD Macros & Erazor

Start of parenthesis.
Not to break the awesomeness of the subject of this thread.
Just wanted to point out for some people which don't know github that this is the kind of reactivity one could gain with a *github base community*, just by using better tools.. (not to mention the ease when performing each step..)
End of parenthesis.

Can't wait to see this tutorial :)
Great idea!

Re: SPOD Macros & Erazor

hi Jason,

" In my controller: QuestionController.hx

class QuestionController extends Controller
{
    public function list()
    {
        var questionList = model.Question.manager.all();
        return new ViewResult( {
            questions : questionList
        });
    }
}

Again, too easy :) "

hmmm, this is where i'm stumbling at the mo?!?! how do you hook the model to the controller? doesn't seem obvious and easy to me :) not the first time this list has made me feel stupid though...

Re: SPOD Macros & Erazor

In reply to this post by tom rhodes

Hi Tom,

Sorry if I was a bit condescending, I was writing after I had already figured it out, and so I guess it seemed easy to me because I already understood it :) I know what you mean by the list being pretty advanced though, most topics I feel pretty out of my depth!

Now about your question... "how do you hook the model to the controller?"

Um, short answer - manually. There is no special tie between the UFront Controller and the Haxe SPOD Class - they are two independent tools, that operate on their own. For example, I have a UFront controller that doesn't touch a database, but uses flat files. I also have a local project that uses SPOD, but doesn't ever touch UFront - it accesses it directly from main().

So, if you want your controller to print a line of text, you use something like:

    public function list()
    {
        return "Show the list of questions.";
    }

If you wanted to read from a file here, or a database, you would have to include that in your logic. UFront does not do that for you automatically. If we included the database logic, it might look like:

    public function list()
    {
        var questionList = model.Question.manager.all();
        return "We just asked the Question model's manager to return all rows. We won't display theme here though...";
    }

Where UFront gets helpful is with the templating engine it uses (Erazor). This ties into haxe objects really naturally, and basically can take a haxe object and make it available to the template. Because SPOD provides you with database rows AS haxe objects, they can be inserted into the templating system almost seamlessly.

    public function list()
    {
        // Use the Question model (which is an SPOD class) to get all of our information as haxe objects
        var questionList = model.Question.manager.all();

        // Now use ViewResult, one of the UFront classes, to pass our List<Question> object to the template, where we can access it...
        return new ViewResult( {
            questions : questionList
        });
    }

I know I've really just elaborated on what I wrote before, but hopefully it makes sense. Essentially: UFront does not have any formal ties to SPOD. You don't hook the model into the controller, rather, in the controller, you can do whatever you want. And if you want to use SPOD to load some database data, you can, but you do it just like you would if you used SPOD anywhere else, there is no special connection. The bit at the end simple passes the resulting haxe objects (representing database rows) to the template.

I hope that makes more sense, but please say so if not and I'll try explain it better. Or better yet, I'll try finish that tutorial I promised a few months ago :P
