Dealing with Class and Metaclass instances when using STON
 
|
Hi,
In STON #bleedingEdge I added the ability to write and read Class and Metaclass instances by using their global name. So, Point will be written as Class[#Point] while Point class will be written as Metaclass[#Point]. This is of course a short-circuit solution for the complex structure that a class actually is, but a reasonable compromise. It is in any case better than not handling these types of instances, which was the case before. === Name: STON-Core-SvenVanCaekenberghe.64 Author: SvenVanCaekenberghe Time: 23 December 2015, 10:50:14.195912 pm UUID: b7ced20a-a7a4-4b0f-8f27-db73231eeecb Ancestors: STON-Core-SvenVanCaekenberghe.63 Added the ability to write and read Class and Metaclass instances using their global name === Name: STON-Tests-SvenVanCaekenberghe.59 Author: SvenVanCaekenberghe Time: 23 December 2015, 10:51:06.830762 pm UUID: 9f684bc1-45e1-4bfa-885b-c56ea178bfca Ancestors: STON-Tests-SvenVanCaekenberghe.58 Added unit test for the ability to write and read Class and Metaclass instances using their global name === Thanks to Norbert Hartl for requesting the feature and for test driving it.

Hi sven
I missed the scenario.

I guess some people sometimes store a class in some instance variable of a model class, maybe for configuration. In that case STON would not work before, now it does. In theory, STON can serialise any class without further configuration, but not classes that contain deeply nested/linked/os system objects. > Stef > > Le 23/12/15 23:04, Sven Van Caekenberghe a écrit : >> Hi, >> >> In STON #bleedingEdge I added the ability to write and read Class and Metaclass instances by using their global name. >> >> So, Point will be written as Class[#Point] while Point class will be written as Metaclass[#Point].

Thanks sven.
PS: the flight did not take off... we are still in Togo.
