Until today I couldn’t use variables in my template that are pieces of code. I added one piece of code that executes the piece of code in a the stash and returns its value. In the template it looks like this. [% FOR p IN products %] <p>[% p.name %] [% END %] There are two places in this piece of code that could contain code references. The first is products....
In the last two essays we established that there is a dispatcher, multiple controllers and multiple actions. The dispatchers creates a controllers and calls the action. Why do we split the application into these parts? First the Dispatcher. The Dispatcher applies rules to a URL and chooses the corresponding Controller and Action. The Controller is a container for action and applies some default values to the action. The Action contains the code that’s necessary to perform some transformation on the application data....
Yesterday we looked at the structure inside of two simple controller actions. Now let us look at the outside. The structure of the two actions can be shown as a tree. Guestbook list Orders list I hid the rest of methods that would normally be in these controllers. In front of these controllers there is another class, called the Dispatcher. This Dispatcher uses a request and calls the appropriate controller and action....
Alex Stepanov writes in Notes on Programming: We often get the idea that a mathematical theory is built in a logical way starting from definitions and axioms. This is not the case. The definitions and axioms appear at the very end of the development of a good theory. It invariably starts with simple facts that later on are generalized into theorems, and only at the very end the formal definitions and axioms are developed....
