Has anyone successfully used Magritte on a complex model (e.g. aBook has
anAuthor has nameString and birthDate) displayed with Morphic? I found
numerous threads, but nothing conclusive, and mostly related to Seaside.
This seems so fundamental to modeling I was surprised not to find any info.
As a start, how does one specify a custom widget for a description?
Thanks.
Sean

Exploring around, I found that MAToOneRelationDescription inherits
class>>#defaultMorphClasses from MAElementDescription, which returns an
MATextMorph, so I thought about subclassing my own description or setting
the default morph class property, but it seems that by the time the
description is looking for a morph class, it may be too late, no? What I
really want is to recursively embed the full editor for the related Author
class in the form for the Book, but I'm not sure exactly where to hook in.
#acceptMagritte: seemed like an obvious place, but everything seems already
figured out by the time it's called - although maybe that's due to caching?
Can caching be turned off to more easily see what's going on?
Lukas, in one of the posts, you mentioned that you had some ideas on how to
fix this. I'd like to have a conversation about that.
Also, for the time being, I'd just like to know where I should hook in to
manually display an editor for the author object. I also want to add
auto-complete to some fields...
Thanks.

Hi Sean,
Send morphClass: to a description to make it use a custom MAMorph subclass.
In the Seaside world you would send componentClass: to the description. For
the 1-1 relation descriptions there are MAInternalEditorComponent and
MAExternalEditorComponent (the defaults) but there are no equivalents in
Magritte-Morphic.
Hope that helps

I came across this old post. These are implemented now for Morphic :)

As John writes, create custom Morph classes and set them using
#morphClass:. MATextMorph is a nice default if there is nothing
better, because all descriptions have a way to convert their model to
a string. Compared to Magritte-Seaside there are a lot of views in
Magritte-Morph missing, simply because Magritte-Morph never saw the
use of Magritte-Seaside.
