BlockContext-write: anObject description:
aDescription
^ self value: anObject
The following becomes possible:
^ MADateDescription new
selectorAccessor: #orderDate;
beWithinYears: 2;
stringWriter: [ :i | i mmddyyyy ];
label: 'Order Date';
beReadonly;
beSearchable;
yourself
Is there a better way?
Is this worth adding to the mainstream?
This is a nice trick. I am not a big fan of unnecessarily adding block-
contexts to my model. As soon as you want to make your meta-model
persistent or editable you run into troubles ...
What I usually did for my applications is to subclass the standard
string writer with my configuration for dates and times to generate
the desired output.
Cheers,
Lukas
