Temp variable in workspace

Hello,

I am using helios workspace to test some messages on my classes.

Is it possible to 'store' a local variable in workspace ?

For example, if I 'do it'
| x | x:=3.
then later,
Transcript show: x.
I have a error msg that x is undefined.

Re: Temp variable in workspace

Hi Vicnet

you could store the temporary variable asJSONString in localStorage.
This works fine for simple variables (e.g. a String).

See
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22604341/amber-and-localstorage-asjson

For more complex variables the conversion process seems not to be very
straightforward.

(Answers are welcome, there on stackoverflow or here)

Re: Temp variable in workspace

Hi Vincent,

I often create an App singleton class (that has references to important objects in the rest of the application) with accessors, to access my application from the workspace. You could also put a dictionary into it to store arbitrary objects:

Akin:

App vars at: 'mine' put: myTemp

Transcript show: (App vars at: 'mine' )

HTH,

Siemen
