Incompatible with Gopher Sauce +v0.6.0
A GopherSauce package to convert template and func tags into accessible Javascript functions. The goal of this project is to be able to: 1) generate your templates on your server 2) Ease access to server side functionality.
Download the CLI to build RPC functions without GopherSauce. Find it here
Add this import tag to the root of your gos.gxml file. Within the <gos> tag. This will activate momentum within your project. Remember to include the funcfactory within the pages you wish to use these functions. <script src="/funcfactory.js"></script>
<import src="github.com/cheikhshift/momentum/gos.gxml">
Each template created will have a JS function equivalent with the same name. The format of the generated functions are as follows :
function TemplateName(ObjectWithInterfaceFields, function callback(StringOfRenderedTemplate) {} )
Notes : Replace TemplateName with the string specified as the name attribute of your template tag. ObjectWithInterfaceFields is a JS object that will be converted to the interface specified within your template tag's struct attribute. On error, the reason why will be returned instead of the template HTML.
Each func tag within your <methods> section will generate a JS equivalent function. To better visualize this follow the example below.
Notes : Channels are not supported as a valid type within var and return attributes of your func tag. Using the term args ...interface will not work as well. This is why the <func> tag was introduced, to provide users with a tag to explicitly declare variable types. With this in mind <method> tags will not work with JS function factory because it relies args ..interface to pass variables.
A sample <func> tag is declared within the methods section of a gos.gxml file. The return type specifies names returned values.
<func name="TestAdd" var="varx string,numv int" return="(test string, err error)">
err = errors.New("error test on GOOOO")
test = "Test" + varx
return
</func>
The previous func tag will generate JS function : (The variable definitions carry over to javascript.)
function TestAdd(Varx,Numv, function callback(ObjectResponse, success) )
Notes : ObjectResponse variable is an object with your function's returned values. With this <func> tag, the ObjectResponse will have keys err and test following the tag's return attribute. Success is an indication of successful method invocation. On error, Object response will have one key : error, which is a string explanation of why the request failed.
**More notes : You must specify the names of the return types as well, AKA Named returned values. These names will be used as key names to your response oject.
*** Angular notes : If you plan on using Angular JS, use this $scope function to update your data after setting it within your callback $scope.$apply();.
You can access each of your functions via server URI /momentum/funcs.
- name : specifies the name of the function to invoke.
The body is used to pass a json of your function's variables/parameters. Each json key should match a correponding function variable name, with that variable's data specified as the key's value.
