Question

A newbie scala/lift question:

I checked out the CalendarMonthView sample:

with Lift 1.1-M6 and it compiled and worked.

When i tried to migrate the sample to Lift 1.1-SNAPSHOT the signature of AnonFunc seems to have changed from class JsRaw to JsCmd (which is a trait).

The compiler fails here:

def itemClick = Full(AnonFunc("elem, param", JsCmd("alert( itemClick + param + - + elem.nodeName)")))

not found: value JsCmd

am i missing something ?

Regards Paul

Answer 1

I found the new Lift 1.1-SNAPSHOT implementation of the CalendarMonthView sample in the sub-project

/lift-modules/lift-widgets

which has other quite impressive widget samples :-)

The best way is to get the whole liftweb repo via:

git clone git://github.com/dpp/liftweb.git

Try using net.liftweb.http.js.JE.JsRaw instead of JsCmd:

def itemClick = Full(AnonFunc("elem, param", JsRaw("alert( itemClick  + param +  -  + elem.nodeName)")))

I m not sure if that will pass through your elem and param from the AnonFunc, but I believe so

There are two solutions to this problem:

To illustrate these two examples, assuming that your original command was:

def dayClick = Full(AnonFunc("elem, param", JsRaw("alert( day was clicked )")))

The the converter would be:

import net.liftweb.http.js.JsCmds.jsExpToJsCmd
def dayClick = Full(AnonFunc("elem, param", JsRaw("alert( day was clicked )")))

And the new Command would be:

import net.liftweb.http.js.JsCmd
def dayClick = Full(AnonFunc("elem, param",
                             new JsCmd("alert( day was clicked )")))

Of course, those are not full import lists, simply those imports that are needed for the change in question.
