There are plenty of things we would like to do: - clean the issue tracker by doing all the simple things (it's time for users to write their ideas there) - facilitate the creation of new Pillar projects. Currently, it's a hell to start a new book or a new lecture. - simplify Pillar to avoid the current transformation to a build system. We want to remove the dependency to the Mustache template engine. We also want to remove Pillar's ability to compile LaTeX files to PDF. I want Pillar to do just 1 thing: convert a .pillar to a .tex/.html/.*. The rest will move to external projects, reusing as much as possible of what's already there (e.g., GNU/Make) and leveraging other tools (e.g., other template engines, even not implemented in Pharo). - refactor and recompose Pillar's source code to break all package cycles. Also make sure no new cycle is created in the future by adding a check in the test suite. - add a new XML-based exporter to publish the Mooc on a dedicated platform - take care of all the user's feedback during the internship -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm." --Winston Churchill

Re: [Pharo-users] Spec ListModel synchronization

by Robert J Rothwell

Thanks Johan, for your reply. That's great that there is a path forward with Spec; I think I'll be able to figure it out! I'll have to dig deeper into updateList, because right now the only thing it seems to do for me is clear any list selections, so I'm not sure if there is supposed to be a relationship between the original collection passed to the ListModel with the items: message or not.

Re: [Pharo-users] Spec ListModel synchronization

by Robert J Rothwell

Thanks Stephan, this is a very nice example of lots of Spec usage that I'm sure I can learn a lot from! As far as refreshing the list view, you did the same thing that I found to work by using the ListModel>>items: message, which in your case was very natural because you are creating a new, filtered list after a new person has been added.

In Pharo5, you can download Ancestry from the Catalog browser, that provides an example of this. https://vimeo.com/158063568 Stephan

Re: [Pharo-users] Spec ListModel synchronization

by Johan Fabry

Hi Bob, to answer your 2 questions briefly: Yes, Spec is here to stay for good, and the idea is that it can compose any kind of widgets, so with a bridge to OSWindow-SDL2 that should work as well. When changing items in the list, you need to inform the widget of that. To do that you need to call the updateList method on your ListModel instance. So in your example: aList add: 1. aListModel updateList. HTH, > On Mar 30, 2016, at 13:19, Rob Rothwell <r.j.rothwell(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > It's been a while since I tried out Pharo.

Spec ListModel synchronization

by Rob Rothwell

Hello, It's been a while since I tried out Pharo. I always struggled with Morphic UI's, but I noticed Spec and there seemed to be enough examples floating around that I thought I'd give it another try. Is Spec "here to stay?" Is it worthwhile to figure it out? It seems like with the developing possibilities of OSWindow-SDL2, one might use Spec to compose native widgets as well. My main question is about synchronizing domain changes with a Spec UI. For example, if I create an empty list of items: aList := OrderedCollection new. And create and open a ListModel that uses that list: aListModel := ListModel new items: aList; openWithSpec; yourself. I get a nice empty list. If I add an item to my list: aList add: 1. Then I need to update the list with another: aListModel items: aList. To see it show up. Alternatively (this seems wrong), I can add an item to the ListModel listItems directly: aListModel items: (aListModel listItems add: 1; yourself). Is that basically what you need to do to maintain synchronization between your domain list and the Spec UI representation of that list, or am I missing something? Thank you, Rob
