Re: Magritte and Pragmas

Pragmas in Squeak do not need to be declared, but I would not use them like suggested. In my opinion pragmas should not be used to write code, but to tag and configure code. I would suggest something like that: Post>>author <description: #authorDescription> ^ author What tells Magritte to look at #authorDescription to get a description for #author: Post>>authorDescription ^ MASingleOption new options: self findAuthors; relatedTo: SBAuthor; beRequired; yourself Note that there is no need anymore to define an accessor, as this will be figured out automatically by Magritte. The problem with class side descriptions is that they cannot adapt themselves to the state of the object. Something that currently enforces to override #description and to manually patch the descriptions. Cheers, Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch
