Been playing more with my first model glue app and I realize how awesome it is,
just from tinkering.
I built a reqUsername method that simply set a randRang() and tacked it onto an
email username, just for the fun of it. I hard-coded those values in the
randRange().
Then I thought hm, that's pretty dumb. Why not hard-code them into the event
handler and pass them to the controller via some arguments. Worked fine!
Then thought, hm, this is still pretty dumb. Why not stick those values in my
AppConfig in coldspring.xml? Worked like a charm. Now, it's totally dynamic and
lets you set the values in your config.
Just messin around like this is a great way to learn these frameworks. (AHEMMM
RICK!) :)
Here's some example code. Maybe it'll help folks just starting with MG.
Coldspring.xml:
<bean id="AppConfiguration" class="ModelGlue.Bean.CommonBeans.SimpleConfig">
<property name="Config">
<map>
<entry key="DSN"><value>leroy</value></entry>
<entry key="userStartNum"><value>1000</value></entry>
<entry key="userEndNum"><value>2000</value></entry>
</map>
</property>
</bean>
Login.cfc:
<cffunction name="reqUsername" access="public" returnType="string"
output="false">
<cfargument name="email" type="any" />
<cfscript>
var startNum = variables.config.getConfigSetting("userStartNum");
var endNum = variables.config.getConfigSetting("userEndNum");
var result = "";
result = listFirst(arguments.email, "@") & randRange(startNum, endNum);
</cfscript>
<cfreturn result />
</cffunction>
