Hi - I’m after some ideas or maybe previous examples that might guide me in the best approach of wrapping a low level library (essentially the Jira connector that Phil demo’d at Pharo days this year).
There are some low level commands that will fetch json arrays for you given a “lira” instance- e.g: board := JiraBoard fromJira: jira named: ‘Project'. sprints := board sprintsFrom: jira. My question is related to building on top of this - and its a style question. I want model objects that wrap the json arrays and let me navigate things a bit more simply, and query details more naturally - however I can’t decide whether my model objects should “contain” a jira when you instantiate them - which can be re-used for subsequent queries - OR - whether I should view jira as a from of context, and keep passing it to methods when I need to retrieve more details, or child objects? e.g. myBoard := ModelBoard fromJira: jira named: ‘Project’. mySprints := myBoard sprints. “No need to pass the jira again”. vs. mySprints :- myBoard sprintsIn: jira. I’m wondering if anything might guide me one way or the other? Is one more tasteful/elegant than the other? Tim
