My pleasure :)
One suggestion I would make to Vince is to reverse the positions of the
attributes "kind" and "keyName" and to not make "kind" required if "keyName"
is specified. For example, if I wanted to save an object, I could do:
googleWrite(MyObj);
This will automatically populate the kind and the keyName, but if I had my
own key name, it seems I should be able to simply provide it:
googleWrite(MyObj, 'MyKeyName');
With the "kind" automatically populated as before. Why should I have to now
specify it just because I have a key?
Similarly if you invoke googleWrite on the component itself:
MyObj.googleWrite('MyKeyName')
I think keyname is going to be specified MUCH more often than kind and
should therefore precede kind in the attribute list and also not be tied to
it.
Just some thoughts,
Baz
