Esteban Lorenzano presents Reef, a Javascript/Ajax component framework for Seaside. Reef allows developers to build Ajax interactions into Seaside applications using a transparent component model. It uses a dispatcher architecture with jQuery and supports callbacks, context, decorations, and plugins to extend components. Developers are encouraged to try Reef and provide feedback.

- 1. Reef Ajax the way it should be viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 2. Who am I? • Esteban Lorenzano, 38 • In the community since 2007 • Started “Smallworks” with two friends, to work on Smalltalk projects (Mostly). • Other community projects: Mars, SqueakDBX, Gofer Project Loader viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 3. Seaside is cool... For all the reasons you already know So, why we need another tool? viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 4. So, what’s Reef? Javascript/Ajax component framework for Seaside viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 5. The problem We want to provide a transparent model, where all the diferent kinds of interactions are handled the same way. viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 6. Architecture Server Browser Dispatcher at client side handles browser- Dispatcher to-smalltalk interaction. Page viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 7. Architecture • Uses jQuery • First version uses both: prototype and jQuery, but that was ugly and fortunately deprecated viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 8. Architecture • “Some kind” Model-View-Controller • but, as Seaside, Reef components has view- controller at the same place. viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 9. Architecture • You can add any component (with any complexity) as a Seaside component. • call #asComponent viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 10. Relax moment viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 11. Component model • You create your components • by extending a REContainer (can be REPanel, REForm, etc.) • or creating a widget structure inside a Seaside component. • Right now, just those widgets I needed... but extensible any time. viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 12. Demo viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 13. Conventions • Buttons should trigger an action, not a form submission. (#callback:) • Forms should allow triggering (#trigger, #triggerThenDo:) • Form widgets also • Just panels can be refreshed (#refresh, #refreshThenDo:) viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 14. Demo viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 15. Using callbacks • Simple callbacks. It fires a “dispatch” action, which is a simple “jQuery load” (but you don’t do it). • Client callbacks. Generates a jQuery script, which is executed in the browser. • Page callbacks. It renders a new page. viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 16. Demo viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 17. Context • Some times you need to force some behavior, and you need to know if you are inside a Reef callback or a normal callback. • REContext • #isInContext • #inPage:, #inClient: • Example: REComponent>>#answer renders a new page viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 18. Demo viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 19. Relax moment viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 20. Decorations • Just like Seaside, your components can be decorated to add behavior • Unlike Seaside, you can decorate widgets too. It allows elegant adding of plugins. • Numeric format on text field • Date format on text field viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 21. Demo viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 22. Plugins • You can easily add jQuery plugins, just need to find the right insertion point • Most of the times they can be added to existing widgets through decorations (e.g. RETextField>>#beDate) viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 23. No more demos viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 24. What’s next? • Add more components • Getting some feedback from the community • Please, use it! viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
- 25. Questions? http://squeaksource.com/Reef viernes 8 de octubre de 2010
Notes de l'éditeur
- In particular, Seaside 3.0 has a really good integration with javascript, jQuery and prototype. Components for Ajax Modelling, reusing Because javascript is hard, and even with great tools like Javascript and jQuery packages from Seaside, it is tricky.
- Yes, this adds some overhead to the client/server interaction, but i think totally valuable.
- The other way (any component can be viewed as a “view”, by calling #asView), was deprecated because I wasn’t using it, but can be back
