Hi, I would like to discuss one think that is related to creating UI in YaST in ruby. In YCP it uses terms. In ruby generic terms looks like:
term(:VBox,...)
but it is not much nice for me, so I create few shortcuts for known UI elements and it looks like this:
VBox(...)
Agreed, the latter one looks so much nicer.
There is a problem. In UI is often used terms `id and `opts, but it doesn't start with uppercase and there is high chance to collide with existing methods ( beside id collide with ruby id method ).
Usage of object#id is not a problem if 'id' is defined in object's class.
So I propose to translate it to ID(:id) and OPTS(:strechable,:notify)
Ugh, all caps is reserved for constants in Ruby.
alternative can be Opts and Id. what is your opinion?
libyui-bindings has more complete examples (https://github.com/kkaempf/libyui-bindings/tree/master/swig/ruby/examples) which could help guiding a decision.
