Hi
- Could we rename FastTable into Table?
not for Pharo 6 but Pharo 7 yes… in fact, I think it should be called
TableMorph.
(Also we need to refactor a lot, to eliminate the FT prefix, etc.)
- Then I miss an important design point. Why datasource returns Morph?
I do not get get why a data source should return UI element. To me it
violates layers.
no, because that’s its purpose: to provide the table with the cell
elements (which are by definition Morphs… any kind of morphs).a
TableDataSource is not a spec, is the provider of cells.
What a ugly name then...
Why this is not a CellMorphFactory or something like that.
I got inspired for Cocoa NSTableView design (and NSTableViewDataSource),
and that’s what it does.See for example here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/TableView/PopulatingView->TablesProgrammatically/PopulatingView-TablesProgrammatically.html
This function: >- (NSView *)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView
viewForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn
row:(NSInteger)row
is the equivalent of our FTDataSource>>cellColumn:row:
