make-app

[Jeff Surgeson]

Hi

Can we still make a model/app?

Sorry trying to work out how to generate a model/app, I used to do something
like:

make-app Vendor_App_Main --extends Vendor_App_Base -- model=Vendor_Model_Main

make-app now takes --extends or --extends_model options, so I tried:

make-app Vendor_App_Main \
--extends_model Vendor_Controller_Model \
--model=Vendor_Model_Main

Vendor_Controller_model exists, created with make-vendor Vendor
Vendor_Model_Main exists, created with make-model Vendor_Model_Main

make-app ignores --extends_model option, what am i doing wrong or is it
unfinished as yet.

Trying to get my head around the changes in how the new structure is being
setup, what extends from what etc.

I am assuming that as make-vendor now creates a Vendor_Controller_Page that
Vendor_App_Base is not going to be used anymore? or am I missing the point as
usual?

Yes :-) ... see below for more.

Ah, I see the trouble.  The "extends_model" config key (there is no  
command-line option for it) tells make-app what *page* class to extend  
when a --model-name option is present; it does not say which model  
class to use.

Similarly, --model (which took a full class name) has been removed in  
favor of --model-name (which take the short name of a model).

To do what you want above, you work in two steps as before (create the  
model, then create the app):

$ ./script/solar make-model Vendor_Model_Main
$ ./script/solar make-app Vendor_App_Main --model-name=main

That will create the app using the Vendor_Controller_Model page class.

Does that help?
