Spec question

Hi all,
i'm new (first post) and my english is very poor so please don't blame me :).

I would like to use Spec for display a collection of domain objects and i would like to specify the layout which apply to each items,
not just display a String or a Text like "ListModel>>displayBlock:" but a more complexe layout with rows, columns and images within (for example).
To illustrate, an equivalent would be the component ListView in Android.

I turn to you to know if it's possible to do that with Spec.
Thanks,

Regards,
Glenn

Re: Spec question

I think the widget to look at is TreeModel :)

Do you have an image showing what you would like?

Hi,
I have looked at the TreeModel class and it's not exactly that i seek.
The idea is rather something like that :

MyListModel>>initializeWidgets
title := self newLabel.
manager := self newListManager.
manager model:#MyDummyItemModel

MyListModel class>>defaultSpec
^SpecLayout composed
newColumn:[:mainCol|
mainCol add: #title;
add: #manager
];
yourself

MyDummyItemModel>>initializeWidgets
image := self newImage.
address := self newLabel.
zipCode := self newLabel.
city := self newLabel.
editBtn := self newButton.
delBtn := self newButton.

MyDummyItemModel class>>defaultSpec:
^SpecLayout composed
newRow:[:mainRow|
mainRow add: #image;
newColumn:[:addrCol|
addrCol add: #address;
add: #zipCode;
add: #city
];
newColumn:[:btnCol|
btnCol add: #editBtn;
add: #delBtn
];
];
yourself

mlm := MyListModel new.
mlm openWithSpec.
mlm title value: 'I am a list'.
mlm manager items: aCollectionOfDummyObjects

it seem there isn't such implementation in Spec.
What would be the best way to implement it (if it's possible)? a mix between ListModel and TabManager ?

Glenn

Welcome Glenn,
As a native english speaker I'd say your English is pretty darn good.
I've presumed to do a few corrections and you can see it is a very few.
So don't hold back.

Hi all,

:).

I would like to use Spec _to_ display a collection of domain objects and i
would like to specify the layout which _applys_ to each _item_,
not just display a String or a Text like "ListModel>>displayBlock:" but a
more _complex_ layout with rows, columns and images within (for example).
To illustrate, an equivalent would be the component ListView in Android.

I turn to you to know if it's possible to do that with Spec.

Besides, I think there are more people on the list with english as a second language that those with native english.
cheers -ben

Ok :)

So displayBlock can return any morph you want :)

So I think you can do this quite easily :)

I will have a deeper look tomorrow afternoon, and tell you :)

Did you have progress with that ListView in Spec?
Anything to check in the repo?

Re: Spec question

Thanks for interest,

I had a lot of problems i had to resolved before continue my work on ListView.
it's possible to do a "ListView like" with MorphTreeModel (example: SimpleGridExample) and i'm seeing what it's possible to do simply with Spec TreeModel.

I try to post an example in this thread, this weekend i hope.

Glenn Cavarlé

You can experiment a bit based on this script[1] using the latest Spec code.

Re: Spec question

Hi Benjamin and Hernán,

I found few time to make a little example of ListView (extend TreeModel).
I hosted it in my wiki :
ListViewModel Example
The only specific point it's to well define the displayBlock block an that's all.
As Benjamin said previously, it was quite easy to do that with TreeModel.

Thanks Benjamin ;-)

Thanks for the pointer :)

Why do you subclass TreeModel instead of using one?

Could you add an example and a screenshot so we can see how it looks :)

Thanks,

Ben

Re: Spec question

Ops, i forgot to write the use case of the ListViewModel... i added it...
I subclass TreeModel to create a "native" Spec component like ListModel or DropListModel, which does simply what it is supposed to do, show a list of ComposableModel.
It's just for the example, i made it also using ComposableModel and adding a TreeModel in layout and it works fine :).

I will make an example more elegant tonight and i will add a screenshot.

thanks for feedbacks,

Regards,

Glenn Cavarlé
