I've created a TJSONPropStorage, dunno where to announce...

[Gustavo 'Gus' Carreno]

Hi there,

I've created a package with a TJSONPropStorage here.

Don't really know where to announce, or if , by any chance, it could included on the main Lazarus dist?

Any help, suggestions or being shouted at, will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Gus

Read this first, then report an issue to the bugtracker with category "Patch" attaching the patch you created from the first step.

Well, it's not really a patch as it's a whole new component that is not present in the main distribution.

Should I still go through the patch hoops?

Thanks,

Yes, you're patching the components folder with your component. That's how it gets into the repository as you want it. Otherwise, you could just host it somewhere like github.

Hi gcarreno!

First: Thank you!

Suggestion for Android compatibility:

1. Drop LCL package dependency ["fcl-json" is a FCL package!]
   [yes, add FCL dependency!]   

2. Put the "register" procedure in another file...
   [yes, add LCLBase dependency, if you will provide a custom component icon!]

ex:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. unit register_tjsonpropstorage;
2.  
3. {$mode objfpc}{$H+}
4.  
5. interface
6. uses
7.   Classes,
8.   SysUtils,
9.   LResources,    // [optional] need if you will provide a custom  component icon
10.   JSONPropStorage;
11.  
12. Procedure Register;
13.  
14. implementation
15.  
16. Procedure Register;
17. begin
18.   {$I tjsonpropstorage_icon.lrs}   // [optional] if you have a custom component icon [as generate by "lazres.exe"]
19.   RegisterComponents('Misc', [TJSONPropStorage]);
20. end;
21.  
22. end.
23.  

3. Include  "register_tjsonpropstorage.pas" file in your package.

Good Work!

User @GetMem is in charge of OnlinePackageManager which will be in the next version of Lazarus.  Send him your component, and I expect he will include it.

You're quite welcome!!

1. Drop LCL package dependency ["fcl-json" is a FCL package!]
   [yes, add FCL dependency!]   

2. Put the "register" procedure in another file...

I'll have a gander at it.

I'm not sure I can drop the LCL completely since this component uses JSONConf and LazUTF8.

3. Include  "register_tjsonpropstorage.pas" file in your package.

Okydokes, I'll do this if it's current "correct" way of doing things.

Cheers,
Gus

Many thanks for this, but...

I'm sorry for being such a newb with insistence, but when you say "Send him your component...", could you be more specific in terms of channels?

Use this forum's private messages?

Or some other way?

Many, many thanks,
Gus

Suggestion for Android compatibility:

All that you suggested has now been committed to GitHub's HEAD.

I still don't have an icon and I'm struggling a bit with it since I really suck at Graphic Applications (GIMP, Photoshop, etc...)

I'll tag it and do a proper release once I get the icon done.

AGAIN: Many thanks all of you for the help and welcoming messages!!

Cheers,
Gus

I hate to spoil work already done, but I really do not think that TJSONPropStorage should be downloaded with OnlinePackageManager. I think it belongs to Lazarus in directory where TINIPropStorage and TXMLPropStorage are already placed. That would avoid any confusion. So, a patch for Lazarus would be more prefered by me.

Btw. nice work

For now it can be downloaded/installed through OPM. Consider it as an extra possibility. After it's added to Lazarus SVN, I will remove it from the central repository.

I also agree with you. I'll initiate the process of trying to get it unto the main SVN with a patch request once I have an icon.

And it seems that @GetMem is willing to remove it from the OPM once it gets integrated into the main tree, so we're all good

Btw. nice work 

Thanks!!!
