Message-ID: <D780952B-0D39-4B1B-85AC-A943A9643936@topfunky.com>

Can someone explain the new Markaby syntax to me? I'm using Markaby  
as a Rails plugin, fetched from the trunk.

I'm losing my instance variables somehow (@thing is always nil):

class ThingsController < ApplicationController
   def index
     @thing = "Bacon of the chunky variety"
   end
end

# app/views/index.mab
h1 { "You should see a thing here:" }
p { @thing }


And I get a NoMethodError when trying to get at it with the thing()  
method, as mentioned in the README.

I can, however, get to the instance variable like this:

@thing = @helpers.controller.assigns['thing']


What am I doing wrong?

Yeah, this is my fault - sorry for the breakage :)

p { thing } should work just fine now (as of r91).

The idea behind these recent changes is to keep instance variables for Markaby's
own purposes, and force everything else coming in from outside (i.e.
controllers)
to go through method_missing. The code is a bit cleaner as a result.

Any objections to the new style?

Message-ID: <1961FC57-EB78-4A52-B147-1E09BE822710@topfunky.com>

Here's my first live Camping app, on the undergroun.d!

http://peep.d

I often need to come up with a color scheme that is made from an  
existing color. This little app takes a hex color and shows all the  
combinations of those colors.


An observation and a question:

At first it was including dispatch.fcgi into generated urls (http:// 
peep.d/dispatch.fcgi/colors). I renamed it to dispatch.rb and that  
helped.

However, Camping still adds extra copies of the mount point:

http://peep.d/colors/colors/colors/33/55/ff

It works, but looks a little odd.

I'm using lighttpd with the config from http:// 
code.whytheluckystiff.net/camping/wiki/TheCampingServerForLighttpd. I  
only have one route:

class Index < R '/', '/colors/(\w\w)/(\w\w)/(\w\w)'

The offending link is generated with a splatted array of three strings:

R(Index, *color)


Does anyone have ideas about what I'm doing wrong?

Hi Geoff,

really nice idea, it will help me too.

To answer your question :

Look in the @root instance variable. It is the path to your
application's root. We already had some problems with FastCgi

Do you have any ideas how to approach it? Looking at
Rails' code:

      # Called by CacheHelper#cache
      def cache_erb_fragment(block, name = {}, options
= nil)
        unless perform_caching then block.call; return
end

        buffer = eval("_erbout", block.binding)

        if cache = read_fragment(name, options)
          buffer.concat(cache)
        else
          pos = buffer.length
          block.call
          write_fragment(name, buffer[pos..-1],
options)
        end
      end

It seems like Markaby might have to have a "length"
attribute and/or act like "buffer"? Or would Rails
need to be changed on the eval line?

Hello,

I just joined the camping list. I was trolling the archives when I saw this:
--
The biggest problem in Camping is authentication. This is a problem I
propose to solve by providing an extension. That little bit of code
uses the path to allow/disallow urls. That way it is unobstrusive. In
the future I would also like to make an OpenID client and server for
Camping.
--
I was wondering if anyone had gone down the OpenID client/server
route? I'm in the process of writing one myself as a demonstration of
camping for my local ruby group. I'm in the process of writing the
server, and I think I can supply the client as a mixin.

If anyone has done work on this front, I'd be interested to combine
efforts. I too see many opportunities for tiny little gnat sized apps
working together in glorious harmony. And user auth is certainly the
first step.

Cheers,
-Mark

Hi,

I just put together a little mixin to provide pseudo-RESTful services
in camping apps. Basically, it looks for a hidden _verb field in form
posts, and sets the @method to the supplied value (e.g. put or delete
- which browsers don't support). This lets you define put and delete
methods in your controllers. Groovy.

Code:

http://pastie.caboo.se/22613

Is there any permanent repo of little code snippets/mini-libraries for
Camping? Is the wiki the best place? I think a lot of camping code
could be re-used via mixins and it would be nice to have a
Camping-forge type place to go find existing work.

Cheers,
-Mark

Hi,

Great ! I wanted to implement that for long time and never had it (the
time). I've packages a set of Camping extensions in a package called
"Equipment". Apparently I don't have many followers but maybe you're
interested to contribute ?

I think that my lib is a bit too complex and gets intimidating
compared to the LOC of Camping. Let me know if you want to be
introduced a little bit :)

The problem with authentication is that you manage it at an
application level. So if you're running each of them side by side,
you'll have multiple User tables, etc...  What I actually do is manage
the authentication on the reverse proxy but it introduces other
limitations, like the inhability to map datas with users in a straight
forward manner.

I think the best would be to provide some camping server-wide
authentication mechanism so that it can be shared by the various
applications. A server-wide template would also be interesting so that
you can add links between the apps. But Camping doesn't support
plugins (yet) :)

I'd be happy to include this on the wiki. Can some explain how to add
a helper function into the including module's namespace?

eg. How do I get

module Camping
  module REST
    module Helpers
      def form ...
      end
    end
  end
end

properly mixed in (so as to provide a form helper to override markaby)
using 'include Camping::REST'

Thanks,

Perhaps I'm way in the wrong, but I assumed we could mixin additional
Models, Views, and Controllers. I just sent another message to the
list, where I realized that this is not as easy as I thought. Is it
possible at all?

If so, I think this would provide a very good avenue for a unified
authentication/user method. We could mixin a User model, a Login
controller, and the appropriate views. Like the Camping::Session
mixin.

Similarly for your site wide template idea, mixin a layout method.

Again, I'm still pretty new to camping, so I might be misunderstanding
the whole thing.

Cheers,
-M

Message-ID: <132a91ff0611141242w16228bbk805da27a71b54fcb@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I have been learning some ruby and some Camping at the same time by
implementing a little webapp to track expenses (one man's blog...) that
includes the ability to tag entries with 1 or more tags.

I wanted to offer the possibility to narrow the view of expenses by adding
tags to a filter (this works) and I also wanted this filter to be reflected
in the URL. Like so:

normal URL: http://localhost:3301/
filtered URL: http://localhost:3301/filter/tag1/tag2/tag3

However, I can't get this to work since I require a variable number of
regexp groups (like say an array) and I could not find a routing syntax that
would allow this (something like class Filter < R '/filter/(\w/)*' ).

I currently use a route which looks like:

class Filter < R '/filter', '/filter/(.+)'

And I represent the N tags as a string where tags are comma-separated. It
works but purty, it isn't.

Suggestions? Or am I bonkers?

Thanks.

That's rad.

While we're on the topic, I rolled a Railsish respond_to method for  
my Camping app:

This works for me:

   class Filter < R '/filter/([\w/]+)'
     def get tags
       @tags = tags.split('/')
     end
   end

Then http://localhost:3301/filter/tag1/tag2/tag3 will make @tags into  
['tag1', 'tag2', 'tag3']. I think this is what you want...

Correct.

Well, you're obviously bonkers. Who in their right mind would ever  
start programming Ruby?

AFAIK there is no way to represent an arbitrary number of arguments  
in a URL in camping, but if you stop to think what a URL is then it's  
not so strange. The most obvious place to put parts of a URL that  
don't point to a resource is the query string.

< R '/expenses'

/expenses?filter=tag1+tag2+tag3

You'll have to use the included callback.

like :

module REST
  def self.included(app)
    app::Helpers.send :include, Helpers
  end
end

Yes, look in Equipment so see what I did. There is a security module
that separate the authentication of the authorization. You can define
authentication or authorization rules on a class or application wide
level.

Note that mixins have some limitations, this is why the Equipment
extension method is pretty complex. If you mix module A in module B
and THEN add some methods to module A, module B won't get them. In
Equipment, all includes are done when the #create method is called to
avoid that problem.

Hi Boris,

welcome to Ruby and Camping :)

Camping doesn't support nested regexp groups like ((\w+)\/) so you'll
have to do it differently. Your second approach is right. You can also
use the multiple arguments input if you don't want to split the string
with the commas. Like ?tag=one&tag=two&tag=three. That will give you a
['one', 'two', 'three'] array in input.tag.

Hi Jonas,

Thanks for this reply, and the other cluing me into the .included
callback. I'll take a look at that later today and see if I can get it
to work.

Regarding equipment, you're right: it is a little intimidating. I
opened it up and thought "hey, what are all these "depends" calls? why
can't I just use 'include Foo'?". I am willing to believe these are
necessary, but I am worried that it raises the bar for new programmers
(e.g. me) who aren't willing to take the time to make their little
code snippets (like the two posted in this thread) into full equipment
compatible modules.

I'd like a solution where I can define something like:

module MyModule
  module Models
    ...
  end

  module Controllers
    ...
  end

  module Views
   ...
  end

  module Helpers
   ...
  end
end

and have anyone else come along and just drop it into their apps with
one line of code (or perhaps two, if something needs to be run in the
create method). eg

MagicModuleIncluder.make_magic :MyModule, :SomeOtherModule, ...

def MyApp.create
  MyModule.create
  SomeOtherModule.create
  ... MyApp creation code ...
end

My inspiration for this is the Camping::Sessions code. It's not very
complicated itself, and it drops right into any other camping app.

I've been thinking about starting a little website where people can
upload "songs." Little camping components that don't require a lot of
work to create or include in other apps. (The reason behind the word
song is that when one goes camping, you're likely to have a
sing-a-long. Apps can join in or not if they want. Cheesy? Yes.) A
place where developers can share their code without having to meet a
lot of dependency requirements or create a gem, or otherwise put
themselves out. Think pastie + tepee. WIth RSS. Lots of RSS.

I'll make a formal announcement when I have something more than vapor,
but if anyone is interested in helping, I think there are two things
that need to happen:

1. CampSongs (the module/class) that has the necessary vodoo to make
the code I posted above possible.
2. CampSon.gs (the website) the camping app that makes the sharing of
songs easy and effective. It should probably eat a healthy amount of
dog food and use as many songs as possible.

Email me off-list if you're interested, and I'll keep you posted.

And with that, I shall go make code of this vapor,
-Mark

I'm not sure I quite understand this... what does MagicModuleIncluder  
do that simply including modules doesn't? (As in: http:// 
code.whytheluckystiff.net/camping/wiki/BeforeAndAfterOverrides) What  
sort of stuff do you have in mind for these components?

But to add some more mixin stuff to the stew, here's a one you can  
use to send JSON in the body of a request and have it parsed for you  
into the @input:

   http://mdaines.com/svn/messages/trunk/lib/json_input.rb

Also an authentication mixin (without proper credit to its original  
author but this repository is an unreleased project and I'll put it  
back in soon) which you can use inside controllers:

   http://mdaines.com/svn/messages/trunk/lib/authentication.rb

You might also have a look at the fake_method one which does the same  
thing as the code posted earlier in this thread.

This is what I though. Equipment seems pretty complicated but it is
not really. What's complicated is the extension mechanism that was
created to support many use cases. If you overlook that, the rest is
pretty simple.

Basically, to create a Camping equipment, you do the following :

module YourExtension
  extend Equipment # installs the hooks
  depends_on OtherExtension # make sure the other extension is included first

  # Here you mimic your app's structure. class methods are defined
with a module
  # called like your constant + ClassMethods. Like ControllersClassMethods.

  module Controllers # controllers will get copied over to your app
    class Woot # R is not available
    end
  end

  module Helpers # new helper
    def hello
    end
  end

  module CClassMethods # class methods for your app
    def create  # the create method is chained
      super
      # do something
    end
  end

end

in your app :

require 'equipment'
Camping.goes :YourApp
module YourApp
  equip YourExtension
end

Maybe I should put that more in form an make a tutorial.

So, I haven't entirely got to the bottom of this yet, but let's at
some examples of include not working as I want. (As to what I want:
entire MVC stacks that I can drop into different apps - eg. a user
login engine that works in any app a /user and provides some useful
predicates - is_logged_in?, etc...)

So, I've created a little app that holds "Things." Nothing more than a
title. Super simple. Now that I have my thing engine working, I want
to incorporate it into another app. I comment out some stuff that
would seem to conflict (eg. the layout view, the Index controller,
Camping.goes :SimpleApp). You can see it here:

http://pastie.caboo.se/23577

Seems straight forward, yes?

Now let's include it in another app. We take a direct approach and
include each part of the MVC stack in the appropriate part of our app.
See the "Simpler" app here:

http://pastie.caboo.se/23578

Try to run it. No luck:

[mark 18:14:11 app]$ camping simple_app.rb
!! trouble loading simpleapp: [NameError] uninitialized constant Base
/Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:123:in
`const_missing'
/Users/mark/Documents/Programming/Ruby/campingtest/app/simple_app.rb:13

Hmm. Strange. While I don't think it's a good idea, let's try to
uncomment the Camping.goes :SimpleApp line in our included MVC. Try to
launch. Success (or so we think). The index page works. It's all good,
right?

Let's try to look at our "things"http://localhost:3301/thing

Camping Problem!

SimpleApp::Controllers::Thing.GET

NoMethodError no such method `list_thing':
...

Uh oh. Something's borked. I haven't figured out how to solve this
problem, but I'm sure it's solvable. But you can see the problem.

Looking at the camping code itself, it clearly does some unusual stuff
to add apps to the mix. Like eval'ing a gsub version of the camping
file itself. That kind of stuff is wild, but it makes it hard to
anticipate exactly how to hook into the system.

As Jonas's emails on the subject indicate, Equipment has been
wrestling with this problem.

I'm going to keep hacking on this. Perhaps I'll have a better solution
soon. Also - feel free to point out why I'm an idiot. :-)

@Mark Fredrickson : This is exactly the problems that Equipment
solves. Add "extend Equipment" in the SimpleApp module and "equip
SimpleApp" in Simpler. You'll also have to remove the models and the
routes in SimpleApp since I didn't implement the class methods and
Base.

If you want to do it on your own you'll have to solve the following problem :

include ModuleA in ModuleB. Then add some methods to ModuleA or
include another module into it. Then look in ModuleB.instance_methods.
Your new ModuleA methods should not be there.

I've had a look at this and think I've found something like a
solution.  The Controllers and Models don't seem to be much of an
issue, the Views are a little more problematic.  Read on for the
details.

# Views

     Camping.goes :NewApp
     module NewApp
       module Views; include OtherApp::Views; end
     end

Doesn't work because NewApp::Views is included into NewApp::Mab
*before* the inclusion of OtherApp::Views.  As a result the
OtherApp::Views methods are *not* included in the NewApp::Mab class
and so are not available for controllers/other view methods to call.  At
least I *think* that's what's happening.

     Camping.goes :NewApp
     module NewApp
       class Mab; include OtherApp::Views; end
     end

Works, but you can't override OtherApp's views in NewApp.  If
OtherApp includes a layout then you're stuck with it (unless you
change it under the Mab class in NewApp rather than Views).

     # Create the NewApp module and include the OtherApp's Views into it
     module NewApp
       module Views; include OtherApp::Views; end
     end

     # Stir in Camping goodness
     Camping.goes :NewApp

     # Write the NewApp, freely using the views from OtherApp
     module NewApp
       # ... models, views, controllers, etc.
     end

Works, and is somewhat less coupled to Camping's implementation.  A
benefit of this is that you can override any of OtherApp's views in
NewApp (e.g. overriding the layout) without leaving the cosy
confines of the Views module.

# Controllers

     Camping.goes :NewApp
     module NewApp
       module Controllers; include OtherApp::Controllers; end
     end

Works.

Doing the include before Camping.goes, as in Views above, also
works.

# Models

     Camping.goes :NewApp
     module NewApp
       module Models; include OtherApp::Models; end
       include OtherApp # for the create method
     end

Doesn't work -- the OtherApp.create singleton method isn't included
into NewApp (due to the way include works).

     Camping.goes :NewApp
     module NewApp
       module Models; include OtherApp::Models; end
       def self.create
         Models.create_schema
       end
     end

Doesn't work, the OtherApp tables don't get created.  create_schema
doesn't see the schema from OtherApp for some reason.

     Camping.goes :NewApp
     module NewApp
       module Models; include OtherApp::Models; end
       def self.create
         OtherApp::Models.create_schema
       end
     end

Works.  Tables are created and models from OtherApp can be used in
NewApp.

Doing the include, and defining self.create, before Camping.goes, as
in Views above, also works.

# Putting it all together

See the attached: campers.rb and campfire.rb.

campers.rb is a simple app that exposes a list of campers, campfire.rb
extends this with another controller and view, please excuse the
campness of it all.

The main ingredient is the means by which Campfire includes Campers:

     module Campfire
       module Models; include Campers::Models; end
       module Controllers; include Campers::Controllers; end
       module Views; include Campers::Views; end
       module Helpers; include Campers::Helpers; end

       def self.create; Campers.create; end
     end

This comes *before* the `Camping.goes :Campfire` line.

So, if you want to incorporate one Camping app within another the above
method seems to be the way to go.  Seems a bit verbose though and I
don't like that whole "you have to extend the new application before
creating it with Camping.goes" thing.  How about coercing include
to help us out a bit?

     module Campers
       def self.included(other_app)
         %w{Helpers Models Controllers Views}.each do |mod|
           next unless self.const_defined? mod
           unless other_app.const_defined? mod
             other_app.const_set(mod, Module.new)
           end

           our_mod = self.const_get(mod)
           other_app.const_get(mod).class_eval(){include our_mod}
         end

         if !other_app.method_defined?('create') \
         && self.method_defined?('create')
           other_app.class_eval(
             "def self.create; #{self.name}.create; end"
           )
         end
       end
     end

Hmmm.  That's decidedly *more* verbose.  But we can now do this:

     module Campfire; include Campers; end
     Camping.goes :Campfire
     # ... Campfire models, views, controllers, etc.

So, if we can hide that great big chunk of `included` somewhere out of
sight, but where Camping apps can pick it up, we'd be somewhere near to
where we want to be.

First off thanks for all the great responses!

And now some individual comments.

@Manfred: Roland's solution does seems to allow this approach, and while it
is not entirely "clean" it's no worse than my comma-separated-directory
approach. As for these sorts of queries not representing resources and
perhaps belonging into a query string? I don't know, I get your point but
then again "expenses/filter/tag1/tag2/tag3" does represent the resource that
is the collection of all expenses that have those tags. Maybe. This is where
you need to get Sam Ruby involved for a restful knock on the head.

@Roland: cool, I will adopt it as long as I don't get head-bashed by Sam.

@Jonas: thanks for the welcome, and yet another approach! Interesting
feature with the array parameter.

Camping rocks. (yes, I am a fanboy)

Cheers,
Boris

Subject: Newline problem
Message-ID: <20061125100215.GH4329@power.luon.net>

Hello all,

Recently I have started writing some small package apps. The main app
I'm working on at the moment is Camping/Photos[1].  Here I use
a controller to serve static files (Theme[3]) that I have copied from [2].
There seems a problem however, when using this via lighttpd.  All files
that get served (via photos-dispatch.rb) get an extra '\r\n' in front. 
This means that PNG and JPEG files break.  I tried serving an empty file
(0B) and got served a file of 2 bytes containing '\r\n'.  Since I use
the X-Sendfile header I kind of assumed it is in the hands of lighttp. 
However, I have had this working and the only things I have changed are
in the app and not in lighttpd, maybe there are some subtleties I am
missing.  Can anyone help me finding the bug?

Kind regards,
Paul

I think this problem was solved just after Camping 1.5 was released.  
Please try the following:

gem install camping --source code.whytheluckystiff.net

and see if that fixes it.

Yes, I was running 1.5. This seems to have been fixed in 171.
I still think it's strange since the body should be discarded
when an X-Sendfile header is present.. somehow the newline
survived?

Thanks!

That's true, this little problem bothered me a lot and maybe it's time for 1.6.  
Our milestones: are loading apps straight from a Gem and daemon mode[1].

Anything else?

I'd like to see the logic in the camping server wrapped into a class.
This would allow other uses. Right now, there is no easy way to pass
in database, url, and port parameters. It would be helpful to have an
API like:

require 'camping/server'

db = { 'host' => 'localhost, 'username' => 'camping', 'password' =>
'foo', 'db' => 'mysql_camping', .... }
myserver = Camping::Server.new('localhost', 3301, db)
myserver.run # boots the server and returns when the sever dies

I wrote a rake task to launch camping apps using a Rails config file,
and I had to duplicate virtually all the code in the camping server.

I'm happy to write this patch, but I won't have time until later this
week. What's the timeline for 1.6?

That's a brilliant idea.  Thankyou and there's no rush, just: whenever.

Subject: R() in controllers
Message-ID: <20061128172835.GD9117@power.luon.net>

Hello all,

I have an app mounted under /test via lighttpd fastcgi as indicated on
[1]. Here I use R(Foo, bar) in views to link to controller foo, this correctly
creates a /test/foo/bar link. However, when I use R() in some controller,
for example:

  headers['Refresh'] = "60; url=#{R(Foo, bar)}"

The generated link is /foo/bar, which obviously links to something
non-existant.  Can somebody affirm that R() in controllers do not
work correctly?

Regards,
Paul

Hello campers,

I wanted to let you know that I've just released my camping generator,
which uses the rails generator system to create new camping apps.

$ gem install camping_generator

It's the first part of my Parasite project, which aims to leverage
rails for better, faster, stronger camping development.

Feel free to take issue with my coding style, but submit issues at

http://rubyforge.org/projects/parasite/

and I'll be happy to improve it.

I should be releasing the the rest of the current Parasite system (so
far, just a rake script to launch camping using Rails environments)
later this week.

Cheers,
-Mark

I don't think it's working incorrectly -- just a little unintuitively. 
In short,  R() only prepends the app root (i.e. '/test') to the 
generated URL when called from within a View -- not Controllers.

This can be worked around by using the "slash method"[1]:

     self / R(Foo, Bar) #=> '/test/foo/bar'

See the Camping docs for the R() helper method[2], and the "Using R in 
the View" section in particular, for a fuller explanation.

Yes, I see what you mean. Thanks for pointing that out. Indeed,
you assume it is going to behave the same.
