The Mustache Refactor!!!

[alefrost]

OK, so InPho will finally be growing some facial hair as we migrate from Mako to Mustache.js! Here is a preliminary list of items to accomplish along this migration to a more maintainable code base:

• Move json_struct from inpho.model to inphosite.controller view() function
  • change inpho.model json_struct functions to call controller view() as well
• Migrate inphosite entity templates from mako to mustache (Check when Idea through Work are done)
• Idea Template
• Thinker Template
• Journal Template
• Work Template
• School of Thought
• Taxonomy template
• Migrate master page from mako to mustache

How do I access inphosite.controller functions from inpho models? As for rewriting the json_struct() methods.

[JaimieMurdock]

There should be no json_struct() in the inpho.models anymore - we'll just
call inphosite.controller separately.

Embed Mustache Template Into Another Template

[alefrost]

Here are some details on tackling different issues with converting the Mako Templates:
For Titlecase() in helpers.py:

• have label in json sent over in Title case, and use javascript to lowercase it anywhere that is needed

For breadcrumbs:

• write a python function in the controller files called 'path' that would return a list of lists in json format
• get path in mustache template by executing ajax call on _.path()

For login/authorization (admin and evaluations are the only panels that change)

• have to request a user object that would need to return one of these:
  • cookie (auth_tkt is the cookie name)
  • user name and password

For title and headtitle:

• set with javascript in the templates

For any function calls to python functions in mako templates:

• convert printList() from mako/javascript to mustache/javascript
• convert other python functions to also be mustache partials to be called from the mustache templates.

Little bit of confusion on the birth and death date information for thinkers. The mako templates use lists named 'birth_dates' & 'death_dates' but if I look at the json file for Kant it has 'birth', 'birth_string', 'death', and 'death_string', but not the lists referenced in the mako file. How do we want to go about displaying that information?

I have a question on the actb.html file:

I'm assuming the line with: 'request.params.get(param, '')' is referring to pulling in session variables. Is there an easy way to move this code to a server-side file, and if so, which one?

This code has almost completely been converted to mustache, but needs this last thing.

<div class="actb">
  {{#label}}
  <label for="{{id}}">{{label}}</label>
  {{/label}}
  <div class="form-search"
    <% q = request.params.get(param,'') if param else value %>
    <input class="input-medium search-query" type="text" id="{{id}}" name="{{id}}" ${'value="'+q+'"' if q else ''} data-provide="typeahead" autocomplete="off>
  </div>
</div>
<script>inpho.actb.init('#{{id}}', '{{source}}');</script>

There are three functions in the page.py controller file that I don't what url to use, or if they are even used any more. Can someone let me know?

amt_taxonomy()
json()
graph()

[JaimieMurdock]

These functions are used to:

amt_taxonomy - issue a redirect to
http://inpho2.cogs.indiana.edu/amt_taxonomy/
json - render inpho.cogs.indiana.edu/json
graph - render inpho.cogs.indiana.edu/graph

Both of the later 2 are like the owl file archives.

request.params.get takes out the variables from the query string. Thus,
it is looking for a url like "http://inpho.cogs.indiana.edu/thinker?q=Kant"
and pulling out the 'q' param and the value "Kant".

For the json and graph renders, both of them end up giving 404 errors on the live version of InPhO, is that supposed to happen?

[alefrost]

Jumbled thoughts from the past few days
taxonomy path currently doesn't highlight when using the mustache templates.

Also, entity.py throws an error saying c.entity.wiki doesn't exist when I try to add it to the struct to pass to the renderer. Where does the wiki field come from?

http://inphodev.cogs.indiana.edu:8087/idea/1747 related terms won't 'show more'...

try passing ID in a json to partialDelegate in order to populate templates that need input like the breadcrumbs

So after some testing, it seems to be the case that firing an AJAX post method with jquery requires the user to be logged in. If I try posting to any controller it always returns the html for the sign-in page. There was never a problem with this last time I created post methods for the unit test pages because you always have to be logged in already to use them. Is there a workaround we can implement that can allow calls to certain files? I don't know where that block comes from

[alefrost]

Final things to be done with templates:

• Taxonomy path doesn't highlight when viewing a taxonomy entity
• With certain entities, some lists won't expand when the "show more..." link is clicked. Here is an example: http://inphodev.cogs.indiana.edu:8087/taxonomy/2318
• Implement authorization information
