Cascade
•
4 gefällt mir•607 views
Cascade is a Clojure web framework that is pure Clojure, functional, share-nothing, and action-oriented like Tapestry. It uses Tapestry-style templates to define views and fragments. The document outlines features like views, fragments, expansions, and actions, and discusses what is still missing like servlet integration, document generation capabilities, and additional template features. It provides links to the Cascade code on GitHub and wiki for more information.

- 2. What is Cascade? © 2009 Formos Software Development
- 3. Cascade Web Framework • Pure Clojure • Functional • Share Nothing • Action Oriented (not component based) • Tapestry-style Templates • Status: alpha, incomplete © 2009 Formos Software Development
- 4. Views and Fragments app/views/index.cml <html xmlns:c="cascade"> <body> The current time is: <c:format-date c:date="(env :current-time)"/> </body> </html> app/fragments.clj (ns app.fragments (:import (java.util Date) (java.text DateFormat))) (defn format-date [env params] (let [#^Date date (params :date) #^DateFormat fmt (DateFormat/getDateTimeInstance DateFormat/MEDIUM DateFormat/MEDIUM)] (.format fmt date))) © 2009 Formos Software Development
- 5. Expansions app/views/index.cml <html xmlns:c="cascade"> <c:loop c:source="(range 5 0 -1)" c:value=":i"> $(env :i) ... </c:loop> </html> Output <html xmlns:c="cascade"> 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... </html> • In text • In attribute values © 2009 Formos Software Development
- 6. Fragments can be Templates A bit awkward ... app/views/index.cml 1 <c:layout xmlns:c="cascade" c:title='"Current Date"'> The current time is: 4 <c:format-date c:date="(env :current-time)"/> </c:layout> 6 fragments/layout.cml 2 <html xmlns:c="cascade"> <head> <title>$(params :title)</title> </head> <body> <h1>$(params :title)</h1> 3 <c:render-body/> </html> 5 © 2009 Formos Software Development
- 7. Actions © 2009 Formos Software Development
- 8. Actions • Coming Soon! :-) • Functional: •env in (:request, :response, etc.) •result: •keyword ➠ render this view •URL ➠ send redirect for URL •false ➠ didn't handle request after all •true ➠ sent response directly © 2009 Formos Software Development
- 9. Actions • Functions to generate callback URLs • To an action • To a view • Pass query parameters • Extra data in path • Built-in fragments to generate URLs © 2009 Formos Software Development
- 10. URLs • Actions • /action/name • Views • /name • Configurable? © 2009 Formos Software Development
- 11. What's Missing? © 2009 Formos Software Development
- 12. Servlet Integration • Run Cascade as servlet • Embedded mode: Start Jetty up with Cascade configured © 2009 Formos Software Development
- 13. Document Generation • DOCTYPEs not supported yet • <![CDATA[]]> not supported yet • Control: HTML(SGML) vs. XML output • Filtering characters to entities (i.e., < ➠ <) • Output namespace support © 2009 Formos Software Development
- 14. Template Features • Server-side Comments • Root <c:fragment> element (for templates that render multiple elements) • Better way to pass literal strings as parameters • Tapestry-style blocks: • Encapsulate a section of template as a closure • Pass as parameter to a fragment © 2009 Formos Software Development
- 15. Unimplemented Ideas • Parallelization • Render fragments in parallel across threads • Multiple simultaneous database queries • Pipelines • Declarative command chains around views and actions • Meta-data • Declare pipelines, required parameters, etc. © 2009 Formos Software Development
- 16. (use 'tapestry) • Libraries of fragments & views • JAR-packaged resources • 1st class exception reporting • JavaScript aggregation / minimization • Version asset URLs • Automatic GZIP compression • Localization • Live "class" reloading © 2009 Formos Software Development
