Documentation on Traits

Dear Pharo experts,

Is there any documentation on traits as implemented in Pharo 7? It's
easy to find discussions about the trait feature over the years, plus
slides and related stuff, but I am not sure what the current actually
implemented version is. I did manage to write and use a first trait
(https://github.com/khinsen/EqualityThroughVariablesTrait), but there
seem to be more advanced features such as slots that I don't know
anything about.

Cheers,
  Konrad.

There is documentation on Traits here:
https://github.com/pharo-open-documentation/pharo-wiki/blob/master/General/Traits.md

It might still needs review but it should help.

It does not cover slots that is independent of Traits even if both can
be used together.

Great, thanks!

Konrad.

Nice. Do you know where to find details on stateful traits and slots? I am familiar with stateless traits and wonder how state is incoeporated and how conflicts are handled.

Best, Steffen

The guide I send cover the user documentation of Stateful traits and how
to handle conflict.

What it does not cover are Slots (that are independents from Traits) and
implementation documentation.

Maybe I missed that part: Can conflicts with slots occur? The section on conflicts only mentions methods as cause.

Do you have a pointer to a slots documentation?

Maybe this collection in my wiki can help you: http://wiki.astares.com/pharo/115

There are also many tests in the image that you can check regarding traits, slots, meta links, ...
so you have the source luke.
