Re: [WEBSITE] Highly valued possiblity for contributions without coding and hardware ...

2020-01-23 Thread Christofer Dutz 
Hi all,

I just let the new version of our website go online ... please check it out: 
https://plc4x.apache.org/index.html

And here a list of some things we could need a little help with:

- Make the landing page visually more appealing (Plain HTML & CSS work ideally 
utilizing Bootstrap)
- Make the page display on full height (If you go to the "Apache" main page, 
the footer it pretty much at the top, it would be great if it could stick to 
the bottom of the screen, but be pushed down if the content requires it.
- Write Content:
- Users
- Protocols: Documentation on the connection strings and the 
address formats. If the protocols have specialities, document them from a 
user-perspective (Modbus: Coils are plain Boolean, Registers are short values)
- Integrations: Documentation on how to use the integration 
modules

As I mentioned ... help is greatly appreciated.

Chris

Hi Dominik, 

that would be super awesome ... and regarding the super UX designer ... 
well I guess any option will improve the current state.
But I am sure that your UX capabilities are way better than mine ;-)

Hi Chris,

I'd be happy to help improving the PLC4X landing page!
In case you're looking for some really fancy UX designer, I'm certainly 
the wrong person, but I guess I can make one or two proposals on how to make 
the homepage look more appealing.

Re: [CODE-GENERATION] Make all Pojos have a "toPlcValue" method?

2020-01-23 Thread Christofer Dutz 
As I mentioned on Slack, 
I decided to give the Builder a second argument as the problem is that we'll be 
generating different variants of the drivers in the future.
Passive-Mode drivers will not have any serialize methods. And having the 
Entities provide a reference to their factories requires an instance first. 

I think this option is cleaner. 

Please have a look and if I misunderstood you, please correct me.

Sounds good to me.
And probably also sublass them from an interface 
"FromFactory" that we can automatically get the factory class 
from a POJO (and need less reflection + String voodoo).

Hi all,

I have recently worked a lot on drivers that have internal structures 
which are defined by the protocol:

  *   BACnet/IP
  *   KNCnet/IP
  *   That other protocol I worked on as a paid gig

In all of these there I had to manually build lengthy “PlcStruct” 
constructs and pass them on.
Now I think I’ll try adding a “toPlcValue” to all generated pojos … 
this way I can eliminate all of this boilerplate code.

What do you think?
