Example Group (Eg)

Last updated at 6:56 pm UTC on 11 June 2003

Goals

Provide examples for most of the classes.

Vision

If we had examples everywhere, it would be much easier to

test code
understand code
type check code
compose new code in a test-driven style

Howto

Create a category on the class-side called example-objects
Create your example there, stored in a method
```
exampleFoo
```
Send the changeset to the list either as
- an enhancement [ENH][EG]whatever
- or as a part of a [TEST]

Example

TextUrl class >> exampleSqueak
      ^self new url: 'http://www.squeak.org'

Text class >> exampleSqueakLink
      ^self string: 'Squeak!' attribute: TextURL exampleSqueak

TextMorph class >> exampleSqueakLink
	"self exampleSqueakLink openInWorld"

      ^self new contents: Text exampleSqueakLink

Examples made and sent

TextURL
- exampleSqueak
Text
- exampleSqueakLink
TextMorph
- exampleSqueakLink
PopUpMenu
- exampleOneEntry
- exampleTwoEntries

Questions

How do I send an example of drag and drop repel in Morph it involves defining methods and at least two classes?
- I think a class in a class category named Eg-example-objects-Morphic (dgd)
- Sounds like a test to me, where you use examples (mga)
