Einhugur Plugin Releases (2021)

Add-Ons
61

Small extra since I no longer can edit last post:

There are some attributes you can set like how NULL should be handled on Integer field for example. I will not put Alias attribute though for the name since ORM like this usually handles that by the fact you can do that in your select statement like Select MyBadFieldname as MyGoodFieldName from Test

As for type mapping then the ORM makes a plan based on your properties and the datatypes you get, so you can for example have Boolean property in your class reading Integer value. There is not much such in SQLite since SQLite has simple typing, but I also have Postgres ORM ready, and there it has such complex type mapping.

I am sure there will be some cases or mapping types that are missing or people expect differently in first version but we will add rules and make it smarter as needed when the cases come up.

Einhugur SQL ORM 1.0 is out.

Einhugur SQL ORM is a micro ORM to map results of SQL queries to Xojo objects

Currently supported for SQLite databases:

  • Automated Query mapping to Xojo object.
  • Advanced NULL value handling (2 choices of mechanism).

Currently supported for Postgres databases:

  • Automated Query mapping to Xojo object.
  • Advanced NULL value handling (2 choices of mechanism).

Some users might try to write all this code to map query result to Xojo object:

1043×1024 167 KB

But when using our micro ORM then all you need is:

1264×372 82.1 KB

This is version 1.0, I would love to hear from you if you have comments on it. Or if some mapping does not work of course.

Not surprising … You only need to create one table class instance and just change the properties on each iteration, not create 15,000 instances!

Its actually still creating separate instances since you might then store them when you loop through.

The TreeView is a Xojo control plugin to create tree views.

New in TreeView 8.6:
Added support for CustomCheckBoxRenderer from the CustomButton plugin. This one also supports putting your own custom made Renderer for checkboxes.
Refactored native checkboxes from HITheme carbon API’s to Cocoa APIs, which also makes their look now 100% correct in dark mode.

The CoreClasses plugin implements high speed string, object and bit arrays, stacks, queues, collections, dictionaries, trees, sets and StringTokenizers. See more details in the details section.

New in CoreClasses 7.7:
Added PrefixDictionary class.
Added PrefixDictionaryCaseInsensitive class.
Fixed crash bug in ObjectCollection.Insert.

Prefix dictionaries like we have in this new version are often used for things like auto complete features as they offer lightning fast lookup based on prefix, returning result set of zero to many results.

As for the bug that was fixed then it was found in internal unit test, it is not clear if users of the Einhugur TreeView control which uses CoreClasses internally would be affected by the bug or not but it is probably safest to update just in case.
