Library documentation
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
//Menu: label Support Lib
|
|
|
|
Alongside with the core Lumiera Application, we're also creating several *Libraries*. +
|
|
This section holds pages with in-depth technical documentation regarding those. Please don't
|
|
expect a coherent or complete coverage for the time being -- library functionality is typically
|
|
``discovered'' while in the middle of the implementation, then factored out, reused and remoulded
|
|
over time.
|
|
|
|
Interface Library
|
|
-----------------
|
|
The Lumiera Application is designed deliberately in a way to be controllable by scripts. All of
|
|
the Session, the models and the vault are fully operational without the GUI. Any significant
|
|
functionality can be addressed through the primary Façade Interfaces.
|
|
|
|
But, in order to make such an open and extensible application a reality, we need to build up
|
|
an 'interface layer' -- provided as library for client code and script adapters to link against.
|
|
This library allows to access the primary external interfaces and exposes everything needed to
|
|
work with the specifics of the application.
|
|
|
|
[,yellow]#TODO as of 1/2012:# _this is just a nebulous plan for now._ Nothing of the work required
|
|
really to address facilities from the outside has been done. All we've managed to achieve is actually
|
|
to use clean interfaces and decouple the parts of the application appropriately.
|
|
|
|
- we still need to identify those core concepts which need to be exposed
|
|
- we need to refactor the corresponding data types to resolve cross dependencies to the implementation
|
|
- then we could think about moving those data types into an _official Lumiera interface_
|
|
|
|
Support Library
|
|
---------------
|
|
There is a huge collection of generic building blocks, re-used more or less frequently.
|
|
The're written in a generic way, but in accordance to the rest of the source base, relying only
|
|
on the general error handling and logging framework used within Lumiera. (Some facilities may depend
|
|
on other parts of the Application; this can be qualified as a bug -- please complain when you've found
|
|
something of that sort).
