Turbinado is certainly in some flux right now, so I need to update this post with some new function names…

Page: I decided to rename the function for the View to be “markup” rather than “page” when I created Components. “markup” is more generic and works across Views, Layouts or Components.

getViewDataValue: this function pulls a value out of the ViewData in the Environment. Check out Turbinado/Environment/ViewData.hs. ViewData is intended to hold bits of data produced by the Controller for consumption by the View. getViewDataValue returns a “Maybe a” and getViewDataValue_u is the unsafe version that returns an “a” (it assumes that the key exists in the ViewData map).

Documentation: sorely lacking. Been struggling with other bits and with features so need to focus on documentation soon. Have done a bit in http://turbinado.org/Architecture/Show/architecture .

insertDefaultView: this function uses the Request to figure out what the default should be an inserts it. So /Home/Index would insert the Home/Index.hs:markup view. There’s also an insertView function that allows you to specify a view to insert.

I’ll try to drop by #haskell a bit later. Thank you for the questions!

-In the views that you show here, you have defined “page” and then the html code, but, in the code of turbinado you have “markup” in the views. With “page” doesn’t work, with “markup” does;, which is the difference between this ones ?

• In the view “New.hs” you use this in the Form’s action attribute: “(getViewDataValue_u “save-url” :: View String) method=”post”", How that getViewDAtaValue_u work ? After that It is supposed to go to create controller, right ? I can’t understand how do you do that. ;(.

-There are some methods like that can be easy to understand while another ones not so easy (BTW.How do you call it? a helper ?) ,I saw that a big of this methods that you use are located on the folder Environment, would be cool if in each example that is produced or even in the code, a bit more of explanation of this .

For now I don’t remember more of my questions, I’ll be in #haskell , maybe see you later there.

BTW, I added to the turbinado repo all dependencies in tmp/dependencies. Horrible solution, but it’ll have to do until I’m comfortable with cabal-install…

Happy to hear that you got Turbinado to build. Would love to hear how it’s good, how’s it bad, things to improve, etc!

And apologies for the hassle. I should be more explicit in my building instructions. I’ll fix that.

Yeah. I’m going to update Turbinado to 0.4 tonight and include all required dependencies. You’ve got some problems there because that version of haskell-src-exts require GHC 6.10, but you’re using 6.8…

Check the repo tomorrow and all deps will be included in turbinado/tmp/dependencies.

Really, the build should be done with “cabal install”, but I don’t have enough experience to recommend that right now.
