[Lift] directives versus snippets

2009-04-10 Thread bob

if I see lift:/, it could mean one of two things: a directive,
e.g., lift:bind/ or lift:surround/ or shorthand for a snippet, eg
lift:myClass represents lift:snippet type=MyClass

i guess I would like to see these disambiguated a shorthand for
snippets that doesn't overlap with the directive namespace.

some possible solutions:

1. lift:bind/ would be the directive and lift:.bind/ would be the
snippet. please don't get hung up on my use of dot. it is only an
example, and not an actual suggestion.

2. lift:bind/ maps to a real class, not some internal code, much the
way lift:msgs/ maps to net.liftweb.builtin.snippets.Msgs  (thanks
Jorge)

3. lift:bind is the directive, and liftsnippet:bind is the snippet

comments?

thanks, bob

[Lift] Re: directives versus snippets

2009-04-10 Thread bob

ok, Jorge told me on IRC that bind and surround are hard-coded

11:16 bobinator so,if lift:helloWorld.howdy/ maps to Class
HelloWorld#howdy,i assume lift:bindand lift:msgs map to Class Bind
and Class Msgs, with some special sauce for the method?
11:15 jorgeortiz85 actually, all the directives could be implemented
as snippets
11:16 jorgeortiz85 the fact that they aren't is just legacy cruft
11:16 jorgeortiz85 lift:msgs does
11:16 jorgeortiz85 lift:bind is hard-coded

  lift: snippet, surround, embed, ignore, comet, children, a, form, loc, and

 It's on my to-do list to do a little house cleaning in this area.

http://liftweb.lighthouseapp.com/projects/26102/tickets/34-lift-processing-directives-should-be-implemented-as-snippets

  lift:bind is just bad naming. it's not actually a directive, it's just what
  lift:surround looks for to bind at. should probably be called surround:bind
  or something with a different namespace.

 Yeah... we should deprecate lift:bind/ because it's not the same thing.
  Please open a defect on this for me.

[Lift] Re: A Critique On Lift

2009-10-23 Thread bob

i believe that one of the best ways to learn a new programming
language is to read software written in it

when reading Scala code, I rarely say i don't understand how that
works and when I do, there's usually a good explanation of it
somewhere on the web.

usually I find myself asking where is that defined? or what part of
the language is that?

Scala is not like, for example, BASIC, where you can look up FOR, IF/
THEN/ELSE. there's lots of individual and compound punctuation marks
that are very difficult to search for online and in PDFs (try
searching for !).

a lot of scala also relies on syntactic sugar, such as omitted types
(no : T after a val/var/def); the dreaded underbar; operator
overloading; and implicit conversions. you can hate on Java's
verbosity (i know i have), but brevity has its own difficulties.

On Oct 22, 11:44 pm, Naftoli Gugenheim naftoli...@gmail.com wrote:
 The last use of _, as in empty_?, is not a special scala meaning. As on Java, 
 underscores can be part of an identifier. Scala takes advantage of this to 
 combine letters and symbols in one name. These names, like empty_?, are a 
 Lift convention, as well as ..._! for use-with-care methods. The scala 
 library uses isEmpty. David, is it your original convention?.

 tirotim.romb...@googlemail.com wrote:

 funny, I had stumbled on exactly the same line of code when beginning.
 Took me more than a day to understand what's going on. Especially
 because when you copied code from the PDF version of the Liftbook/Lift
 getting started guide, it would mess up spaces, so I would keep
 loooking for a _:: operator.
 The Scala guys have really pushed it a bit hard on the use of the
 underscore. At least four different uses:
 - it for defining anonymous functions like above
 - default value
 - matching placeholder whose value is ignored
 - use for constructing setter method names boolean functions (empty_?)

I'll repeat: there are no operators in scala

s/operators/methods-with-operator-like-names/

anywhere, here's a typical case:

import some.library.package.foo._

val a = bar 42
val b = a ~!~ 3.14159

you can't easily tell that bar is being imported via foo._ .
what is bar's return type?
what does ~!~ do?

i'm not saying its not possible to track all this down, but you can't
just print out a listing of a class and take it on the subway. you
have to have access to the scaladocs and possibly even the sources.

seriously, if you're suggesting that since function/method names don't
have to have any relationship to the algorithm therein, so using
punctuation should be fine, then why not just use single letters,
followed by an optional digit, and be done.

 You'll notice if you look at the page source that the error you saw is

 errors. For a while there was also some code that gave more
 informative error messages if you were running the app in development

  first, there is no line 18 in the template, and line 18 in my

  line 18 in the template, but in fact my error was in the code.

  second, the error would be more informative if it said something along
  the lines of:

 . : Namespace prefix 'queries' on 'service'  in template index.html

 . : queries:service in template index.html' was not bound

 You can consult your library for what version of Scala it uses.

 IntelliJ 8.1.x uses a 2.7.4-2.7.6 compatible version of Scala and will work

[Lift] Re: generating TABLE columns

2009-10-26 Thread bob

Thanks, Naftoli -- so are you suggesting a separate template for the
TD and for the TR? bind the TD template, and then concatenate them up
for each row?

nevertheless, I started out with this:

  var columns : Set

  def buildHeader : NodeSeq = {
TR{columns.map{TD{_}/TD}.reduceLeft(_+_)) }/TR
  }

but i couldn't figure out the right incantation, and went for the easy
way out

  def buildHeader : NodeSeq = {
val result=TR + (if (columns.isEmpty)  else columns.map
{TD + _ + /TD}.reduceLeft(_+_)) + /TR
XML.loadString(result)
  }




On Oct 26, 4:47 pm, Naftoli Gugenheim naftoli...@gmail.com wrote:
 Sorry I can't give you code, but the key here is the the BindParam can take a 
 function from a NodeSeq to a NodeSeq. Say each column represents a field.
   eachfield  -  bindIndividualFields
 where bindIndividalField is a function that takes and returns a NodeSeq. Its 
 input will be the contents of prefix:eachfield. Inside the function do a 
 flatMap on your list of fields, and pass it another call to bind, passing 
 bind the input to bindIndividualFields. Thus you are calling bind on the 
 contents of eachfield repetitiously for each field, and concatenating (via 
 flatMap) the outputs of bind.

 Here's some sample (based on, tada, CRUDify :-). There's some extra

 Template:

   lift:crud.all
     {_showAllHeader}
     table id={showAllId} class={tablesorter +showAllClass}
       thead

         crud:header_itemth 
 crud:style=crud:name//th/crud:header_item

 nowrap=nowrapcrud:value//td/crud:row_item
           /tr
         /crud:row
       /tbody
     /table
   /lift:crud.all

 Snippet:

[Lift] Re: RSS Library

2009-10-30 Thread bob

i don't know if there's a specific RSS library for scala, but you can
get pretty far with the builtin XML parsing stuff. this is the best
resource I have found.

http://burak.emir.googlepages.com/scalaxbook.docbk.html

for the HTTP client, I am using DataBinder Dispatch:

http://databinder.net/dispatch/About

if you want real RSS code, you can use the Java ROME library, which i
have used very successfully in java projects:

https://rome.dev.java.net/

[Lift] Re: Get the subfolders and all the files in the Directory in the Lift ?

2009-10-30 Thread bob

i had call to do something similar, and here's the code. i'm sure
someone smarter could replace the for comprehension with filter().map
()

 def getPaths(prefix : String) : Set[String] = {

// Resource Paths as an Array[Object]
var jpaths =
S.servletSession.open_!.getServletContext.getResourcePaths
(prefix).toArray

// convert to a Set[String]
var paths = Set() ++ jpaths.map(_.asInstanceOf[String])

// append children
for (path - paths if path.endsWith(/)) {
  paths = paths ++ getPaths(path)
}
paths
  }

here's what my app gets back:

Set(/index.html, /WEB-INF/web.xml, /templates-hidden/, /WEB-INF/, /
templates-hidden/default.html)

what I still don't understand is why it doesn't return the XML
configuration file that is found by getResourceAsStream()  :(

2009-10-30 Thread bob

when moved the file from /resources/foo.xml to /foo.xml  (in the same
path as index.html), it now finds it. i guess getResourcePaths() and
getResourceAsStream() don't necessarily look in the same place.

[Lift] Does memcache fit in here somewhere?

2009-01-06 Thread Bob Eastbrook


I'm keeping my eye on Lift, but I'm primarily a PHP guy as far as
paying the bills goes.  I've got a slightly better high-level
understanding of things now versus a month or so ago, but I'm not sure
where caching fits into the picture.  In the LAMP world, it's standard
practice to put memcache in front of your database server.  It's
pretty much a cache everything philosophy.  Is this not encouraged
with Lift?  I assume there are more caching choices in the Java world
such as ehcache, but I don't see them mentioned on the list.

[Lift] Re: Does memcache fit in here somewhere?

2009-01-07 Thread Bob Eastbrook


I've read most of what you guys have up there so far.  Before I knew
about it, I was pretty much lost.  Very much looking forward to the
final product.

My favorite thing about Lift is the use of Snippets.  I work in PHP
primarily without a framework, and I don't mind writing SQL but it's
always a struggle adding new features as consumer tastes change.
Component-based development gets me excited.

The one thing I can't quite grasp yet is how I can move away from
memcache and use Actors.  Thanks for that presentation though, David.
Is this the general strategy: 
http://scala-blogs.org/2007/12/i-love-scala-actors.html
?

There seems to have been talk of Terracotta integration at one point.
Is that still in the works?  Or, would we just rely on the load
balancer to step in because an Actors cache wouldn't be clustered?

Having a clear solution of how to scale would be pretty interesting to
most PHP developers I know.  Most of our conversations deal less with
PHP and more with memcache and MySQL replication.

[Lift] How do I add sitemap.xml and robots.txt

2010-02-27 Thread Bob Folkerts
I'm trying to add robots.txt and a sitemap.xml to a web site.  My
Boot.scala has a snippet that looks like

val entries =   Menu(Loc(Home, List(index), Home)) ::
galleryMenu :: servingYouMenu ::
socialSitesMenu :: aboutUsMenu ::
Menu(Loc(ContactUs, List(ContactUs), Contact
Us)) ::
Menu(Loc(robots, List(robots.txt),
robots.txt, Hidden)) ::
Menu(Loc(sitemap, List(sitemap.xml),
sitemap.xml, Hidden)) ::Nil


The robots.txt file shows up right away, but I get a 404 when I try to
access /sitemap.xml .  I have a static sitemap.xml that I want to
include.  I tried this as a static xml file in the webapp directory.
I also tried it without the explicit '.xml', but I had the same
results.  I tried to make it look more like my html, so I added a
sitemap-tempate.xml in templates-hidden and had the sitemap.xml
reference that.

Eventually, I would like to generate the sitemap.xml from the SiteMap
assuming that the user has not logged into the application.  I would
also assume that for most users, a default robots.txt would be easy to
generate.  This seems like something of general utility that would be
a good chance to learn more about Lift.

Can anyone explain how to display the simple, static sitemap.xml.  I'm
sure this is a newbie mistake, but I'm not seeing it on my own.

[Lift] @Req for PermRedirectResponse after a site redesign

2010-03-08 Thread Bob Folkerts
I am switching my wife's hosted photography site to Liftweb, largely
as a reason to learn Lift.  Part of the conversion is moving the old
directory structure to a cleaner structure.  I wanted to redirect all
of the old URI's to the modern equivalent.  I read Chapter 13 of the
Lift book and got the following to work:
LiftRules.dispatch.prepend{
case r @Req(Portraits::High-School::Seniors::_::Nil,
_,_) = () =Full(PermRedirectResponse(/Galleries/HighSchoolSeniors,
r))
}
LiftRules.dispatch.prepend{
case r @Req(Portraits::High-School::Seniors::_::_::Nil,
_,_) = () =Full(PermRedirectResponse(/Galleries/HighSchoolSeniors,
r))
}
LiftRules.dispatch.prepend{
case r @Req(Portraits::High-
School::Seniors::_::_::_::Nil, _,_) = ()
=Full(PermRedirectResponse(/Galleries/HighSchoolSeniors, r))
}

This gives me a beautiful 301 redirect, so the world is good.  Google
will transfer any page rank and any old links will work.

But it seem like there should be a nicer way to do this for arbitrary
depth.  I know that doesn't make much sense for an API, but it would
be nice for me if there was an equivalent of /Portraits/High-School/
** for arbitrary depth matching.  This seems to work for errors, but
for a PermRedirectResponse, I need the r for the  request input
parameter, so I need

I'm not complainin', I'm just learnin'  There is certainly nothing
wrong with an extra line or three for each dispatch.
