Reflective, Meta Blocks. Classes and Modular Improvement.

[Thecarisma]

Description

• Reflective and Meta Programming
  Block, variables and classes can be dynamically modified at runtime. It allows inspection at runtime without knowing the structure or name of the object at compile time. It also allows instantiation of new objects and invocation of methods, creation of attributes.

• Modular install from GitHub
  The modular environment has been updated to be able to install module from github using the command below

 $ modular install https://github.com/Youngestdev/NgBanks

or short form

 $ modular install Youngestdev/NgBanks

The command above will install the module NgBanks from github. If the module go be installed is from another branch or a tag the : can be use as a seperator for the repo and the branch or tag e,g

 $ modular install Youngestdev/NgBanks:branch-one

The command above will rather fetch the module from the one branch of the repository or to fetch from tag...

 $ modular install Youngestdev/NgBanks:tag-0.1

The tag version of the repository will be installed

NOTE : if the modular app has not been installed you can use the modular source in the environment folder to perform the same operation

 $ simple modular.sim install Youngestdev/NgBanks

#19

[Youngestdev]

I'll be reviewing this later today

[Youngestdev]

So the only problem is it doesn't install the module on my Linux PC. I think that's a path issue. But, does this work on your machine?

[Thecarisma]

Yea it works, it should work on your machine too. The module should be installed at
var/simple/s0.3.36/modules/github.com/ you will need to set SIMPLE_MODULE_PATH to be able to use it else you will have to provide github.com before the module to use it e.g

call "github.com/folder/file.sim"

[Youngestdev]

It actually doesn't work fine on mine, did you modify the install file on your end ?

[Thecarisma]

Check your modules folder on linux. maybe /var/lib/simple/s0.3.36/modules/ if successfull you should find a github.com folder there. If it present export the SIMPLE_MODULE_PATH on your system

SIMPLE_MODULE_PATH=/var/lib/simple/s0.3.36/modules/

else it in the debug module folder

[Youngestdev]

It's definitely not that. I'd have known if uit that. I'll troubleshoot and send a gif, I'm working on it. I've got a lot to work on that's why i haven't gotten back.

the github folder is created but the NgNews folder isn't copied according to the install.sim instruction. Here's a screenshot.

[Thecarisma]

It has been installed successfully. The structure of the install.sim has change has only a list is expected in the file. The NgNews module will be available if you call it like

call "github.com/NgNews/NgNews.sim"

If you want to use the module directly as

call NgNews.NgNews

You will need to add the variable SIMPLE_MODULE_PATH to your system environment
SIMPLE_MODULE_PATH=/var/lib/simple/s0.3.36/modules/

You can check online on how to set environment variable on linux

[Youngestdev]

The github folder is empty, what's the point in its emptiness ? No module is install if the folder is empty 😨
