Hi!

This evening I invited Andrei over to enjoy the sunset view on the Andes. We also played with Spotter. The problem we wanted to solve is the following: There are many examples in Roassal (exactly 210), covering different aspects of Roassal and looking for the right example usually takes time. So, we wanted to give a chance at Spotter.

By loading GT-SpotterExtensions-CoreRoassal from 

MCSmalltalkhubRepository
owner: 'Moose'
project: 'GToolkit'
user: ''
password: ‘'

You will enjoy the excellent work of Andrei.

The key method is the following:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

GTSpotter>>spotterRoassalExamplesFor: aStep

<spotterOrder: 500>
aStep listProcessor 
allCandidates: [ (RTAbstractExample allSubclasses collect: #new) 
flatCollect: [ :each | each gtExamples ] ];
title: 'Roassal Examples';
itemName: [ :example | example selector ];
itemIcon: [ :example | example iconForm ];
matchSubstringByQueryParts;
wantsToDisplayOnEmptyQuery: false

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

So, now, you can trigger Spotter with Cmd-Enter, and enter some words related to Roassal, for example ‘circle layout’, or ‘composite shape’ or 'color edge popup’, a matching is done with the source code of the example. For example, searching for ‘circle layout’ will suggest all the examples that contains the words ‘circle’ and ‘layout’.

Here is a screenshot:

The example is run by pressing enter:

Very cool!

Thanks Andrei!!!
