Is there a way to parametise which modules to load in Dojo? - module

What I'm trying to achieve is something like this, but I'm not sure how to go about it:
define([
// Load basic modules that are always used
], function (one, two, ...) {
if (a) {
// Load this extra module as "extraModule"
}
else {
// Load that extra module as "extraModule"
}
// Be able to use functions from extraModule without worrying
// exactly what they do
extraModule.doTheThing();
Then the two options for extraModule would behave as though they were objects inheriting from the same abstract class.
Does anyone know if this is possible with Dojo?

I think the closest way to achieve this is by doing the following:
define([ "one", "two", "extraModule1", "extraModule2" ], function(one, two, extra1, extra2) {
var extra = null;
if (a) {
extra = extra1;
} else {
extra = extra2;
}
});
So you just load both modules and pick the one you need afterwards.

Enforcing read-only attributes from the metaclass

Yes, still going with this. My impression is that there's this powerful facility in Raku, which is not really easy to use, and there's so little documentation for that. I'd like to kind of mitigate that.
In this case, I'm trying to force attributes to be read-only by default, to make immutable classes. Here's my attempt:
my class MetamodelX::Frozen is Metamodel::ClassHOW {
method compose_attributes($the-obj, :$compiler_services) {
my $attribute-container = callsame;
my $new-container = Perl6::Metamodel::AttributeContainer.new(
:attributes($attribute-container.attributes),
:attribute_lookup($attribute-container.attribute_table),
:0attr_rw_by_default
);
$new-container.compose_attributes($the-obj, $compiler_services);
}
}
my package EXPORTHOW {
package DECLARE {
constant frozen = MetamodelX::Frozen;
}
}
I'm calling that from a main function that looks like this:
use Frozen;
frozen Foo {
has $.bar;
method gist() {
return "→ $!bar";
}
}
my $foo = Foo.new(:3bar);
say $foo.bar;
$foo.bar(33);
I'm trying to follow the source, that does not really give a lot of facilities to change attribute stuff, so there seems to be no other way that creating a new instance of the container. And that might fail in impredictable ways, and that's what it does:
Type check failed in binding to parameter '$the-obj'; expected Any but got Foo (Foo)
at /home/jmerelo/Code/raku/my-raku-examples/frozen.raku:7
Not clear if this is the first the-obj or the second one, but any way, some help is appreciated.

make a method globally available in Vue.js

In several Vue files this computed property checks if this.data is not an empty object:
computed: {
isLoaded() {
return !(this.data && Object.keys(this.data).length === 0 && this.data.constructor === Object); // checks if this.data is not empty
}
}
Then isLoaded is used to conditionally display content in the browser.
I'd like to refactor the code and create a global method somehow that can check if an object is empty so all the files that use this method can get it from a central spot.
Even after doing some reading on Vue mixins and plugins I'm not clear which one best fits this use case. Which one should be used for this? Or is there an altogether different approach that would be better to create a global method?
There are several ways to do it and it and approach depends on particular case. For your case I'd suggest you to create a separate folder for utils functions, where you could have smth like common.js. There you can just export your functions e.g.
export const emptyObj = (obj: any): any => Object.keys(obj).length === 0;
and import it in your component:
import { emptyObj } from "src/utils/common";
In this case it easier to organize your shared functions, easier to test them and have typescript support.

Add onClick to Button in Ktor with Kotlinx

I am currently trying out Ktor. But it already fails on registering a onClickListener to the button.
I am just wondering because the onClick extends from String. If I click on the onClick the Code I get is this one:
var CommonAttributeGroupFacade.onClick : String
get() = attributeStringString.get(this, "onclick")
set(newValue) {attributeStringString.set(this, "onclick", newValue)}
So I think onClick has a getter and setter but not more. I installed location and FreeMarker so this is my route:
get<CharityRoute> {
val id = it.id
call.respondHtml {
body {
h1 { +"${it.id}" }
ul {
for (n in it.list) {
li { +"$n" }
}
}
button {
text("Run function")
onClick = "Hello"
}
}
}
}
Maybe someone has more experience with Ktor and especially with Kotlinx.
Problem
It depends which module you are working in.
On the server-side (JVM) you can not write Javascript-Code in Kotlin and assign it to a function like that.
To find a solution, I have to further know, what exactly it is you want to achieve.
Here are two of many possibilities, what you could do:
Solution 1
You can assign a javascript-code as string. You did just that by assigning the code "Hello".
Maybe you want to call a function, which was globally made available in the window object?
Solution 2
In client-side JS code, you can import kotlinx.html.js.onClickFunction and simply write
button{
onClickFunction = { println("clicked") }
}
to execute code written in Kotlin.

Writing an attribute trait

I'm about to choose what language to use for a new project: Perl5 or Perl6. 6 wins so far except that it is missing Moo's lazy attributes. The two implementations I found in modules are missing the key functionality. Hence, my attempt write my own implementation.
Role vs. Class
First problem I've got into is the content of attribute's .package for one declared in a role. Consider the followin:
role HOW1 {
method compose ( Mu $class ) {
note "HOW1.compose";
nextsame;
}
}
role HOW2 {
method compose ( Mu $class ) {
note "HOW2.compose";
nextsame;
}
}
multi trait_mod:<is> (Attribute:D $attr, :$mooish!) {
note "Attribute's package.HOW: ", $attr.package.HOW;
note '$*PACKAGE.HOW: ', $*PACKAGE.HOW;
$attr.package.HOW does HOW1;
$*PACKAGE.HOW does HOW2;
}
class Foo {
has $.bar is mooish;
}
role FooRole {
has $.baz is mooish;
}
The output of the script follows:
Attribute's package.HOW: Perl6::Metamodel::ClassHOW.new
$*PACKAGE.HOW: Perl6::Metamodel::ClassHOW.new
HOW2.compose
HOW1.compose
Attribute's package.HOW: Perl6::Metamodel::GenericHOW.new
$*PACKAGE.HOW: Perl6::Metamodel::ParametricRoleHOW.new
HOW2.compose
As it is clearly seen from the output, applying a role to a metaclass always works for classes and only works for $*PACKAGE.HOW with roles. Use of $*PACKAGE instead of .package could be considered a solution, but not the one I'd really like to use. (Though, if there is no better way...)
Accessor
I would like to provide lazy functionality for private attributes too. Yes, this will be availabe with self!bar syntax only, but this is a sacrifice I'm willing to make. 😉 The problem is that all the examples of custome-made accessor I found so far are using Attribute.set_value() method which is way too low-level. I'd like to have something like this:
role MooishHOW {
method compose ( Mu $class ) {
my $accessor = $class.^add_private_method( 'bar1',
method () is rw {
note self.WHO, ".bar1";
Proxy.new(
FETCH => -> $o {
$!bar1;
},
STORE => method ( $val ) {
note "Storing";
$!bar1 = $val;
}
);
}
);
callsame;
}
}
multi trait_mod:<is> (Attribute:D $attr, :$mooish!) {
$attr.package.HOW does MooishHOW unless $attr.package.HOW ~~ MooishHOW;
}
class Foo {
has $.bar is mooish;
has $!bar1 is mooish;
method to-bar1 {
note "bar1 val:",self!bar1;
}
}
my $inst = Foo.new;
$inst.to-bar1;
But $!bar1 notation doesn't compile because of the scope (MooishRole). Are there a trick I'm missing which would allow referencing a private attribute on self?
Tricky one
Perhaps it is possible to make an attribute to be a Proxy container? This would greatly simplify the overall logic of laziness implementation.
I have answered all my questions by finally achieving the target and released AttrX::Mooish module.
So far, the answer for the first question is: no. $*PACKAGE is currently the only way.
Second question: have no answer, but the final code has to rely on set_value() anyway.
The tricky one happened to be possible: set_value() does binding of an attribue to a container making it possible to bind to a Proxy object. No need to for sacrifices, private attributes can be accessed directly with lazyness working on them.
Thanks everybody, your answers let me work around some rough edges!

How to override dojo's domReady

I want to override dijit._CssStateMixin's domReady() method.
Is there any way to override that instead of changing the listener mechanism in Dojo.
I tried overriding _cssMouseEvent() method in simple javascript, but it still does invoke dijit's _cssMouseEvent() from domReady().
I have tried following approach:
dojoConfig = {
map: {
'dijit/_CssStateMixin': {
'dojo/domReady': 'app/noop'
}
}
};
I have added 'app' folder and then 'noop.js' inside that.
noop.js has nothing in it:
define([], function () {
return function () {};
});
Even after this I can see that dijit.js's _CssStateMaxin domReady() getting called from listener.apply (code snippet pasted below)
var addStopImmediate = function(listener){
return function(event){
if(!event.immediatelyStopped){// check to make sure it hasn't been stopped immediately
event.stopImmediatePropagation = stopImmediatePropagation;
return listener.apply(this, arguments);
}
};
}
If your ultimate goal is to prevent the domReady callback in dijit/_CssStateMixin from running, your simplest bet is likely to re-map dojo/domReady to a different module that doesn't call the callback at all, when loaded via dijit/_CssStateMixin.
NOTE: Stripping out these handlers might have adverse visual effects on Dijit widgets which inherit _CssStateMixin, since it may hinder the application of Dijit CSS classes related to hover and focus. But if your concern is that _CssStateMixin is hampering performance, it may at least be worth a try to confirm or deny your suspicion.
First we have to create a simple module that returns a function that does nothing, which we will later substitute for dojo/domReady when loaded by dijit/_CssStateMixin, so that it can still call domReady but it won't execute the callback it passes.
For simplicity's sake I'll assume you already have a custom package that you can easily add a module to; for this example I'll assume it's called app. Let's create app/noop:
define([], function () {
return function () {};
});
Now let's configure the loader to map app/noop in place of dojo/domReady specifically when loaded by dijit/_CssStateMixin:
var dojoConfig = {
...,
map: {
'dijit/_CssStateMixin': {
'dojo/domReady': 'app/noop'
}
},
...
};
Now the offending domReady callback should no longer be run.
If you're curious about map, you can read more about it in this SitePen FAQ.
