Wigbi 1.0 system and core packages almost done
I have almost completed rewriting all the Wigbi 0.99.3 system and core package classes. The new Wigbi version is fully test-driven, which is a huge improvement from earlier versions. All in all, the new version features a lot of improvements, some class/method removals and a much more slick framework.
All system and core classes are now entirelly independent of the Wigbi class. Only one static class remains (SessionHandler) – the rest have been made unstatic, with default instances that can be accessed via the Wigbi class.
I only have the Wigbi and WigbiDataPlugin (previously called Seed) classes left before I start to convert all the various plugins. All in all, the plugins should be a rather short business to convert, since they all benefit from functionality in already tested base classes.
The documentation will be slicker than before as well. I am currently considering to NOT write demos for all the various system classes and plugins, since the web site has few visitors. Instead, I think I’ll make it possible to request demos to be written, so that I only have to write demos when people need them.
Finally, the AJAX pipeline previously only supported functions that used base type parameters, like strings, integers, booleans and arrays. In Wigbi 1.0, I want to make it possible to serialize/unserialize data back and forth between PHP and JavaScript, and would thus need a serialize/unserialize implementation in JavaScript. Please let me know about any such implementations that gets the job done.
