Title: ORM in Lazarus and FPC
Post by: StraightFree on December 13, 2019, 02:34:07 pm
Hello people,

I started using FPC and Lazarus recently.
In delphi I use rtti, custom attributes and class to create and maintain the database. But I realized that lazarus is not supported that way.
I found on the internet the project MORMOT. However, I could not use it.
Does anyone know a similar tool for lazarus running on linux?

Any help will be welcome.

Thank you!

FPC does support custom attributes -
https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Custom_Attributes

As far as an ORM goes mormot is probably you're best bet (I haven't used it myself). If you were to post "why" you couldn't use it, perhaps someone on the forum could guide you in the right direction.

Thanks for the quick response.

Actually, I tried to use mORMOT, but it gave unit typinfo.pp missing error.

Would you know how to resolve this dependency?

I would first recommend to use fpcupdeluxe to

this will ensure you have the latest versions and will correctly install packages, update paths etc...
I've attached a screenshot showing mormot and the way to install.

here's the program, just download for whatever your platform is:

mr-highball,

Thank you for your feedback.

I downloaded and compiled fpcupdeluxe on lazarus.
When I ran lazarus / fpc installation from fpcupdeluxe it gave the following error:

You said you downloaded and compiled? On the "releases" page there are pre-compiled binaries for all supported platforms. Why don't you try one of these from the latest release and see if you get the same issues,

FPC does support custom attributes -
https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Custom_Attributes
Please note that this requires the trunk version of FPC. Neither 3.0.4 nor the upcoming 3.2.0 are supporting Custom Attributes. Also they are currently only supported for types and published properties of classes due to the Extended RTTI still missing.
Title: Re: ORM in Lazarus and FPC
Post by: StraightFree on December 15, 2019, 01:28:03 pm
mr-highball,

Yes. I compiled and executed. I followed your suggestion and managed to install FPC and Lazarus from fpcupdeluxe, including the correct version as enhanced by PascalDragon.

But when compiling some examples of mORMOT, is giving error.

Delete everything and I will try to install again to see if the error persists.

Have any of you faced a similar problem?

Thank you for your help

Folks,

By uninstalling and installing again, I was able to make some of the examples work.

I have a problem now declaring custom attributes (TCustomAtributte), lazarus returns the following error:

uCustomAttributeTypeFields.pas (12,27) Error: Identifier not found "TCustomAttribute".

I try to compile the exemple in this link:
https://wiki.freepascal.org/Custom_Attributes

But, the same error occurs.

Has anyone ever experienced this?
Have any suggestions on how to solve?

Any help will be most welcome.

Thank you!

when compiling fpc/lazarus did you make sure you selected trunk? as @PascalDragon pointed out above, these are a new feature and are only supported with the latest build (see selection in attached image)

mr-highball,

Thanks for the reply.

Actually had done the installation of trunk version.

I deleted everything and tried to install the trunkgit version.
The installation of fpc happens without any error, but the installation of lazarus gives the following error:

"/home/administrator/Documents/dev/fpcupdeluxe/trunkgit/lazarus/components/codetools/definetemplates.pas(323,25) Fatal: (2003) Syntax error,") "expected but", "found
Fatal: (1018) Compilation aborted
Error: / home / admin / Documents / dev / fpcupdeluxe / trunkgit / fpc / bin / x86_64-linux / ppcx64 returned an error exitcode
make: *** [Makefile: 3257: codetools] Error 2
fpcupdeluxe: ERROR: LazarusNativeInstaller (BuildModuleCustom: Lazbuild): make returned error code # 512


ERROR: Fpcupdeluxe fatal error! "

Can you tell the cause or have any suggestions for a solution?

Hmm, I'm not sure about why you're having that. Unfortunately I don't have a linux machine in front of me to test with (I use windows primarily). Perhaps someone else has seen the issue?
Also, you could look/post an issue on the maintainers github,

Do you really use a current trunk of FPC? Do you either use {$mode Delphi} or {$mode ObjFPC} followed by {$modeswitch PrefixedAttributes}? Would you please test the example from the Wiki and compile on a command line using fpc theexample.pp and provide the output here? You can also run fpc -iV to check what version FPC reports (it should be 3.3.1).

Well, you also would need the revision, since trunk is a moving target. All wiki examples compile, but there are already more features in place. As you know... :-X
(That's the reason I always compile my trunk with the revision built-in.)

PascalDragon and Thaddy,

Thanks for your reply.


I am using the below version of FPC and lazarus.

PascalDragon, I am using FPCUPdeluxe to install FPC and Lazarus. The trunk version installs without problems, but there is an error trying to compile the example of this link (https://wiki.freepascal.org/Custom_Attributes#Complete_example (https://wiki.freepascal.org/Custom_Attributes#Complete_example)). The error that returns is as follows:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. "project1.lpr (19.31) Error: Identifier not found" TCustomAttribute ""

When attempting to install the trunkgit version as directed by mr-highball, the installation is not completed. I posted an issue with the error returned in installing this version at this link:

https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/issues/167 (https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/issues/167)

Have any of you been able to install by FPCUPDeluxe the latest version of FPC and Lazarus and compile the example with TCustomAttribute?

Thank you so much for your help.

No problems here with handmade checkout and build of FPC trunk (r43677) and Lazarus trunk (r62379).
Title: Re: ORM in Lazarus and FPC
Post by: StraightFree on December 19, 2019, 02:05:54 pm
Pascal,

So in that case, do you manually download and install without FPCUPDeluxe?
After installing FPC and Lazarus, how do you install MORMOT?

Thanks for the answer.

The documentation of mORMot has some tips !!

https://synopse.info/files/html/Synopse%20mORMot%20Framework%20SAD%201.18.html#TITL_203

In Setup+, you can add revisions for FPC and Lazarus. These will certainly work !

@StraightFree: if you need only a persistence framework to separate the business logic you can also give TIOPF (http://tiopf.sourceforge.net/) a try. It works for Delphi and Lazarus.

There are also youtube videos available:
tiOPF Model GUI Mediator / MVP - Part 1 (https://youtu.be/FBw_3gXxyeI)
tiOPF Model GUI Mediator / MVP - Part 2 (https://youtu.be/cI7XkZ0GR0s)

jus,

In fact, I need to use RTTI and custom attributes to do database creation and maintenance.

I found the solution in madref's post in the following topic (https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,47835.0.html (https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,47835.0.html)).

I resolved the issue by installing fpcdeluxe version 1.6.4h.

I'll do some tests to verify its operation.

Thank you all for your help.
