1
+ = tinkerbell - RAD gui developer for RwdTinker
2
+
3
+ tinkerbell is a little immediate response gui and code designer for the RwdTinker framework
4
+
5
+ The GUI interface used is RubyWebDialogs
6
+
7
+ RubyWebDialogs is a platform independent graphical user interface for Ruby applications. It generates HTML and serves it with an internal HTTP server, so you can use your favorite web browser as the front end for your Ruby application. All this means, that it can be used on almost every platform, like Ruby itself. http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubywebdialogs/
8
+
9
+ == Quick Start
10
+ Start the program by typing
11
+ ruby init.rb
12
+
13
+ Then point your web browser to:
14
+ http://localhost:7705/
15
+
16
+ To exit, press the x inside the browser window.
17
+
18
+ == Design - rwdfoldeditor
19
+
20
+ This program is a Application Development tool
21
+
22
+ It is a NAD - NAD is Not a rapid Application Developmen environment.
23
+ You can enter GUI code in the gui screen. Use one of three tabs.
24
+
25
+ You can enter code in one of three code files (you can add as many code files as you want)
26
+
27
+ When you click the Launch new GUI!, TinkerBell will build the new GUI can eval the code files
28
+
29
+ and open the SandBox window where your GUI and code will be live.
30
+
31
+ You should be able to edit and change the code and GUI again and again.
32
+
33
+ One tab is already filled in as an example - tab three is a calculator
34
+
35
+ The tinkerbell back window has tabs for Ruby command evaluations
36
+
37
+ == Tabs
38
+
39
+ There are tabs to enter GUI and CODE and edit configurations
40
+
41
+ Edit GUI - to create a GUI or edit and existing GUI
42
+
43
+ Edit CODE
44
+
45
+ Edit Configuration -
46
+
47
+ == Using over a Network
48
+
49
+ To serve the application over your local LAN,change the last line in the
50
+ init.rb file to something like:
51
+ RwdTinker.file(RWDFile).serve(8080, "-r" ? ".rwduids" : nil)
52
+ Then you should be able to login at: http://yourhostname:8080
53
+
54
+ You have to authorize yourself. The .rwuids example is a string with
55
+ the name of the authorization file, relative to the home directory
56
+ of the user that started the service. This file has to be in the form of:
57
+
58
+ user1 = password
59
+ user2 = pass phrase
60
+
61
+ Thus the file .rwduids might contain:
62
+
63
+ erik = secret
64
+
65
+ == Requirements:
66
+ RubyWebDialogs - I am using 0.0.12
67
+ Ruby I am using version 1.8.2
68
+
69
+
70
+ I have tested this under Linux-Debian kernel 2.6.9
71
+
72
+ ==Making Applets
73
+
74
+ What is required in a applet for the rwdtinker framework
75
+
76
+ 1. config file
77
+ 2. code files - under in a unique directory under code
78
+ 3. gui files - begin with window name in unique directory(s) under gui/tinkerbackwindow
79
+ 4. install file ending with .inf under install directory - code directories are listed in here for live startup
80
+ 5. uninstall program file in code directory - to uninstall the global variables
81
+ 6. the install file, config file and uninstall method have the same name
82
+
83
+ Then zip it up and it should be ready to go.
84
+
85
+ == PROBLEMS:
86
+
87
+ Closing the browser doesn't terminate the application. You have to use the application's close-button And terminating the application doesn't terminate the application when running in network mode. You just log out.
88
+
89
+ Don't use the back-button of the browser! Strange and unpredictable things may and will happen!
