How to generate code from custom scoping through instances? - code-generation

I'm trying to write a code generator using xtext. There are instances of types declared in the corresponding DSL, attributes can be referenced through those instances by custom scoping (see code for example). The linking is performed directly from referencing element to attribute, so that there is no information about the surrounding instance - but for code generation, I exactly need the qualified name that is added in the DSL file. Is there any other possibility so that I can figure out through which instance the actual feature is referenced?
My first idea was to recall the ScopeProvider at code generation, which works but does not react on two instances of same type because the first matching Attribute is chosen - so if there are multiple instances, the generator cannot distinguish which one is meant.
Second idea was to include information from the corresponding DSL file, but I don't have any idea how to get this work. I already searched a lot if it is possible to get the corresponding DSL-file from the current model, but could not find any helpful answer.
Third idea was to include the instance as a hidden field in the referencing element - but I could not find any solution for this approach too.
Small extract of Grammar (simplified):
Screen:
(features += ScreenFeature)*
;
ScreenFeature:
name=ID ':' type=[ClientEntity]
;
ClientEntity:
(features += Feature)*
;
Feature:
name=ID ':' type=DefaultValue
;
DefaultValue:
'String'|'int'|'double'|'boolean'
;
ChangeViewParam:
param=[ScreenFeature|QualifiedName] ':' value=[ScreenFeature|QualifiedName]
;
DSL-Example:
ClientEntity Car {
id : int
name : String
}
Screen Details {
car : Car
car2 : Car
[...]
car2.id : car.id
}
Generation output of first approach (line: car2.id : car.id) :
car.id : car.id
Expected:
car2.id : car.id
I hope you can understand my problem and have an idea how to solve it. Thanks for your help!

You can use
org.eclipse.xtext.nodemodel.util.NodeModelUtils.findNodesForFeature(EObject, EStructuralFeature) to obtain the nodes for YourDslPackage.Literals.CHANGE_VIEW_PARAM__PARAM (should be only one) and ask that one for its text.
Alternatively you could split your param=[ScreenFeature|QualifiedName] into two references

VSCode Extension: Get outline of function for custom outliner

I'm trying to create a custom outliner for VSCode (currently only for python), but I don't find measures to get the information I needed.
I like to get information in this manner this:
Array:
[0]
label: "foo"
type: "Function"
parameters: [...]
Range: [...]
innerDefinitions: [0]
[1]
label: "myclass"
type: "Class"
base_class: ""
Range: [...]
innerDefinitions:
[0]:
[...]
[1]:
[...]
Currently I try to get outline information via vscode.commands.executeCommand( 'vscode.XXX'
What I've tried:
Here is what commands I've tried and what result I received.
vscode.executeImplementationProvider
half usable: range of functionname. Other information is missing
vscode.executeHoverProvider
half usable: string of function head (including def keyword)
vscode.executeDefinitionProvider
half usable: range of complete function. Individual information must be "parsed out"
vscode.executeTypeDefinitionProvider
Never provided any result
vscode.executeDeclarationProvider
Never provided any result
vscode.executeDocumentSymbolProvider
Goes in a good direction. However
(1) Does only work on the whole document (not single function)
(2) Does only return first-level entities (i.e. class methods are not included in result)
Is there any API call I've overseen?
I wonder how the built-in outliner works, as it contains all-level information.
You need to use vscode.commands.executeCommand<vscode.Location[]>("vscode.executeDocumentSymbolProvider", uri, position)
This will give you the full outline of one file. There is no way to receive a partial outline.
Note: innerDefinitions are called children here.
Regarding the detail of the outline:
How detailed (and correct) an outline is going to be, depends on the implementation of the provider. Also, provider's information is no necessarily consistent among languages. This is very important to keep in mind!
At the moment (2021/03), the standard SymbolProvider for...
... Python will have a child for each parameter and local variable of a function. They will not be distinguishable
... C++ will contain no children for parameters. But it will have the parameter types in its name. (e.g. name of void foo(string p) will be foo(string): void.
As you can see, both act differently with their own quirks.
You could create and register a DocumentSymbolProvider yourself, that would return a level of detail you need (see VSCode Providers)

OctoberCMS scope not applying

So the scenario here is that i'm trying to create a simple scope in OctoberCMS that will allow me to filter a query with the builder plugins list component. In my model I have defined the scope as such:
public function scopeFirst($query)
{
return $query->where('practice_name',1);
}
This should just constraint the query to fetch only the records where that value is 1. The Component is recognizing this scope and allowing me to choose it from the drop-down list, as indicated by my index.htm file:
[builderList]
modelClass = "vetadmin\Practicedetails\Models\Practicedetails"
scope = "scopeFirst"
displayColumn = "id"
noRecordsMessage = "No records found"
detailsPage = "-"
detailsUrlParameter = "id"
pageNumber = "{{ :page }}"
Does anybody have any ideas of what could be causing it to not apply the constraint? Currently -all- the records are being returned. The documentation isn't particularly elaborate on this and just suggests you need to define the scope in your plugins model php file (as I've done)
https://octobercms.com/docs/database/model#query-scopes
is the documentation i'm referring to.
Thanks.
Hmm this is little confusing for the larval eloquent model
I have tested your code and scope
Then I just realised that scopeFirst can be apply on modal like this $modal->first() <= this is issue its reserved method
As per my knowledge first [ref: https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/eloquent] is method to get first record from the collection/models. [ So, your scope is treated like that and ended up doing nothing ! ]
So, just change your scope name like scopeFirstPractice etc.. can solve our issue.
and just normally use
[builderList]
modelClass = "vetadmin\Practicedetails\Models\Practicedetails"
scope = "scopeFirstPractice"
It should definitely work. [ I have tested. ]
if any doubt please comment.

UIMA Ruta: Copy the feature value from a contained annotation to a containing annotation

Note: This seems heavily related to Setting feature value to the count of containing annotation in UIMA Ruta. But I cannot quite apply the answer to my situation.
I am analyzing plain text documents where the following structure is assumed:
Document (one, of course)
Section (many)
Heading (one per section)
I am being asked to identify sections by checking whether their headings satisfy conditions. A useful and obvious sort of condition would be: does the heading match a given regular expression? A less-useful but perhaps more achievable condition would be: does the heading contain a given text?
I could and have already achieved this by taking a list of tuples of regular expressions and section titles, and at design time, for each member of the list, as such:
BLOCK(forEach) SECTION{} {
...
HEADING{REGEXP(".*table.*contents.*", true) ->
SETFEATURE("value", "Table of Contents")};
...
}
SECTION{ -> SETFEATURE("value", "Table of Contents")}
<- { HEADING.headingValue == "Table of Contents"; };
This approach is fairly straightforward but has a few big drawbacks:
It heavily violates the DRY principle
Even when writing the rule for just one section to identify, the rule author must copy the section title twice (it should only need to be specified once)
It makes the script needlessly long and unwieldy
It puts a big burden on the rule author, who in an ideal case, would only need to know Regex - not Ruta
So I wanted to refactor to achieve the following goals:
A text file is used to store the regular expressions and corresponding titles, and the rule iterates over these pairs
Features, rather than types, are used to differentiate different sections/headings (i.e. like above, using SECTION.value=="Table of Contents" and not TableOfContentsSection)
After looking over the UIMA Ruta reference to see which options were available to achieve these goals, I settled on the following:
Use a WORDTABLE to store tuples of section title, words to find / regex if possible, lookup type - so for instance, Table of Contents,contents,sectiontitles
Use MARKTABLE to mark an intermediate annotation type LookupMatch whose hint feature contains the section title and whose lookup feature contains the type of lookup we are talking about
For each HEADING, see if a LookupMatch.lookup == "sectiontitle" is inside, and if it is, copy the LookupMatch.hint to the heading's value field.
For each SECTION, see if a HEADING with a value is inside; if so, copy the value to the SECTION.value field.
It was not quite a surprise to find that implementing steps 3 and 4 was not so easy. That's where I am at and why I am asking for help.
// STEP 1
WORDTABLE Structure_Heading_WordTable =
'/uima/resource/structure/Structure_Heading_WordTable.csv';
// STEP 2
Document.docType == "Contract"{
-> MARKTABLE(LookupMatch, // annotation
2, // lookup column #
Structure_Heading_WordTable, // word table to lookup
true, // case-insensitivity
0, // length before case-insensitivity
"", // characters to ignore
0, // matches to ignore
"hint" = 1, "lookup" = 3 // features
)
};
// STEPS 3 AND 4 ... ???
BLOCK(ForEach) LookupMatch.lookup == "sectiontitle"{} {
???
}
HEADING{ -> SETFEATURE("value", ???)} <- {
???
};
Here is my first real stab at it:
HEADING{ -> SETFEATURE("value", lookupMatchHint)} <- {
LookupMatch.lookup == "HeadingWords"{ -> GETFEATURE("hint", lookupMatchHint)};
};
TL; DR
How can I conditionally copy a feature value from one annotation to another? GETFEATURE kind of assumes that you only get 1...

Asp.Net MVC 2: How exactly does a view model bind back to the model upon post back?

Sorry for the length, but a picture is worth 1000 words:
In ASP.NET MVC 2, the input form field "name" attribute must contain exactly the syntax below that you would use to reference the object in C# in order to bind it back to the object upon post back. That said, if you have an object like the following where it contains multiple Orders having multiple OrderLines, the names would look and work well like this (case sensitive):
This works:
Order[0].id
Order[0].orderDate
Order[0].Customer.name
Order[0].Customer.Address
Order[0].OrderLine[0].itemID // first order line
Order[0].OrderLine[0].description
Order[0].OrderLine[0].qty
Order[0].OrderLine[0].price
Order[0].OrderLine[1].itemID // second order line, same names
Order[0].OrderLine[1].description
Order[0].OrderLine[1].qty
Order[0].OrderLine[1].price
However we want to add order lines and remove order lines at the client browser. Apparently, the indexes must start at zero and contain every consecutive index number to N.
The black belt ninja Phil Haack's blog entry here explains how to remove the [0] index, have duplicate names, and let MVC auto-enumerate duplicate names with the [0] notation. However, I have failed to get this to bind back using a nested object:
This fails:
Order.id // Duplicate names should enumerate at 0 .. N
Order.orderDate
Order.Customer.name
Order.Customer.Address
Order.OrderLine.itemID // And likewise for nested properties?
Order.OrderLine.description
Order.OrderLine.qty
Order.OrderLine.price
Order.OrderLine.itemID
Order.OrderLine.description
Order.OrderLine.qty
Order.OrderLine.price
I haven't found any advice out there yet that describes how this works for binding back nested ViewModels on post. Any links to existing code examples or strict examples on the exact names necessary to do nested binding with ILists?
Steve Sanderson has code that does this sort of thing here, but we cannot seem to get this to bind back to nested objects. Anything not having the [0]..[n] AND being consecutive in numbering simply drops off of the return object.
Any ideas?
We found a work around, by using the following:
Html.EditorFor(m => m, "ViewNameToUse", "FieldPrefix")
Where FieldPrefix is the "object[0]". This is hardly ideal, but it certainly works pretty well. It's simple and elegant.

Symfony: Model Translation + Nested Set

I'm using Symfony 1.2 with Doctrine. I have a Place model with translations in two languages. This Place model has also a nested set behaviour.
I'm having problems now creating a new place that belongs to another node. I've tried two options but both of them fail:
1 option
$this->mergeForm(new PlaceTranslationForm($this->object->Translation[$lang->getCurrentCulture()]));
If I merge the form, what happens is that the value of the place_id field id an array. I suppose is because it is waiting a real object with an id. If I try to set place_id='' there is another error.
2 option
$this->mergeI18n(array($lang->getCurrentCulture()));
public function mergeI18n($cultures, $decorator = null)
{
if (!$this->isI18n())
{
throw new sfException(sprintf('The model "%s" is not internationalized.', $this->getModelName()));
}
$class = $this->getI18nFormClass();
foreach ($cultures as $culture)
{
$i18nObject = $this->object->Translation[$culture];
$i18n = new $class($i18nObject);
unset($i18n['id']);
$i18n->widgetSchema['lang'] = new sfWidgetFormInputHidden();
$this->mergeForm($i18n); // pass $culture too
}
}
Now the error is:
Couldn't hydrate. Found non-unique key mapping named 'lang'.
Looking at the sql, the id is not defined; so it can't be a duplicate record (I have a unique key (id, lang))
Any idea of what can be happening?
thanks!
It looks like the issues you are having are related to embedding forms within each other, which can be tricky. You will likely need to do things in the updateObject/bind methods of the parent form to get it to pass its values correctly to its child forms.
This article is worth a read:
http://www.blogs.uni-osnabrueck.de/rotapken/2009/03/13/symfony-merge-embedded-form/comment-page-1/
It gives some good info on how embedding (and mergeing) forms work. The technique the article uses will probably work for you, but I've not used I18n in sf before, so it may well be that there is a more elegant solution built in?
