How does one find code in LK?
Locked
 
|
Hello list
I am just starting to explore LK scripting. I opened one of the tutorials - adding methods to a button - and wanted to know more about the Button class. So, I opened an inspector on the button, and saw that it was an instance of lively.morphic.Button. I then opened a system browser, and tried to find the Button class, under lively/morphic. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything - the class list when from AdditionalMorphs.js to Canvas.js.
Clearly, the code is there somewhere. So, could someone explain where I should be looking, or what I am doing wrong? Thanks Andy

Hi Andy -
the code you're looking for is in lively/morphic/Widgets.js. And of course you're right, it's not obvious where to look for it. Since I haven't been active in LK dev for a while: is anyone still working on source code management without files? Because if not, Andy just pointed to a spot that might be worth a Trac ticket.

Hi Fabian
Thanks very much for the info. Now for the important question: "how should I have found that"? Is it simply a case if grepping the source code, or are there more sophisticated tools? Just to give another example. I saw some code snippets sending messages to Color. I was hoping to opens workspace and do something like 'Color browse' so that I could explore its hierarchy, but I couldn't find any tools to do that.

The shortcut CMD+Shift+f (or Ctrl+Shift+f on windows) should help. If a text is focused it will start the code search from its selection, otherwise it will open a prompt where you can type in a substring of source code / method name. This will open a list of search results that can be used for viewing and changing methods (changes are applied only to runtime) or opening the System code browser.
