This is fantastic. I think this should be integrated in web2py or at least provide a plugin for it (assuming there is a pure python yaml parser with compatible license and I think yes)
I also think, along this line there is even more we can do: *) use the yaml also to define which actions are needed, which crud forms and crud selects should be in each action, what their parameters should be, which default layout to use (downloaded from web), *) edit the yaml using a tree-like gui *) save the state so that the yams stays attached to the generated app *) Instead of generating code, provide an alternative scaffolding app that generates models dynamically using the example in http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/msg/97ebeff3781e6739 In the end the entire app can re presented as a tree: - models - db - table 1 - field 1 - field 2 - type - length - validator - widget - widget attrbute - table 2 - field 3 - controllers - index: - authentication: everybody - show in menu: yes - create form 1 - for table 1 - set field2 writable false - select form 1 - filter records by query - show only columns field 1, field 2 - view - extends "http://...../web2py.plugin.sleek.w2p"; - h1: "Hello World" - div - p: "insert a record below" - p - place crud form - h2: - div - p: "selected record" - place crud select On Apr 11, 7:49 am, blackthorne <francisco....@gmail.com> wrote: > For some reason the attachment didn't came up. > Here is the missing code:http://bit.ly/dgv8Qb > > Best Regards > > On Apr 11, 1:37 pm, Francisco Ribeiro <francisco....@gmail.com> wrote: > > > hi > > > here is something I have done on web2py so you can define models using the > > YAML lang. > > I also included a 12 min screencast to show how you can use > > it:http://vimeo.com/10837176 > > > checkout the template file in models/yaml/template.yml (inside the > > w2pymt.zip) for options > > Please send me all comments, questions, critics but keep in mind this is > > little more than a proof of concept > > > Enjoy! -- To unsubscribe, reply using "remove me" as the subject.
