[Seeks-users] Fwd: Seeks YUI API (0.1b)

[Camille Harang]

Yo bees, sorry I posted this on the wrong list yesterday, and in the
wrong language, here it is:

I just finished the first YUI API layer for Seeks, I mean the minimal
clockwork to conceive modular and robust Seeks enabled Web applications.
Some parts are still missing:

1 - few 2nd level elements to get the interest of developers, but it's
coming soon (unless unexpected hitches).

2 - few working examples testifying of the emerged part of the iceberg
that is the API.

It's a consequent piece of software, but still under water. Curious
and/or fellow connaisseurs can take a look at the documentation:

http://garbure.org/~mammique/soft/seeks/yui/doc/

And code:

http://gitorious.org/seeks-client/seeks-client/trees/master/reloaded/script/

For the other bees, bee patient ;-p

Camille.

Yo bees,

j'ai terminé la première couche de l'API YUI pour Seeks, c'est-à-dire
l'horlogerie minimale pour pouvoir concevoir des applis Web Seeks
modulaires et robustes. Il manque encore :

1 - quelques éléments de second niveau pour pourvoir intéresser les
développeurs, mais ça ne saurait tarder (sauf imprévus).

2 - quelques exemples fonctionnels témoignant de la partie immergé de
cet iceberg qu'est l'API.

C'est un bon morceau mais encore sous le niveau de l'eau. Les curieux
et/ou les connaisseurs peuvent jeter un œil à la doc:

http://garbure.org/~mammique/soft/seeks/yui/doc/

Et au code :

http://gitorious.org/seeks-client/seeks-client/trees/master/reloaded/script/

Pour les autres (encore) un peu de patience.

Camille.

Camille,

thanks for the great work, and the patience with YUI, I really mean
it. Especially since you've made clear that it was difficult but
powerful.

I haven't had the time to test it. Is there a 'testable' UI you've set
up online that I and other can try yet ? If I understand you well, the
procedure is to 'clone' the gitorious repository then to run the code
directly from a browser, am I right ?

Em.

The API is a kind of a Lego box for developpers, they will be able to
build any kind of tool for Seeks, including UIs, but also lightweight
widgets, or background utilities that hasn't any interface.

Some important second level elements are missing (I'm working on it), so
nothing impressive nor usable yet (even if the biggest part fo the API
is realized). There is a search workspace with only a dashboard (without
request handlers yet) for my personnal tests in reloaded/index.html, if
you want to see how to use it. Basically you just call seeks modules in
a YUI instance, and plug elements the way you wish (or extend them in
new classes):

YUI().use('seeks-search-workspace', function (Y) {

var search = new Y.Seeks.SearchWorkspace();

[…]

};

Camille.
