  • now adds operators to parameters (instead of operator list, because the operator list will get removed in a future commit)
  • does not set the path of its added items anymore
• ParameterBaseConverter removed unnecessary code lines
• deleted ParameterBaseConverter
• reimplemented StorableConverter to test it again (still not really useable, because it bloats the template massively)
• fixed a pathing bug in ValueParameterConverter (extended ValueRangeConverter, ValueTypeArrayConverter, ValueTypeMatrixConverter, ValueTypeValueConverter to archive this)
• JCGenerator now only writes a single array with parameters (only FreeParameters) and saves a .hl File to test a new type of implementation of the whole JsonInterface

[dpiringe]

r17375:

• added new unit test class (only a skeleton)

[dpiringe]

r17379:

• created a binding flag const in ValueRangeConverter to prevent duplicates in code

[dpiringe]

r17394:

• deleted: ConvertableAttribute, DummyConverter, ObjectExtensions
• renamed: CustomJsonWriter -> SingleLineArrayJsonWriter, JCInstantiator -> JsonTemplateInstantiator
• added: JsonItemConverterFactory, UnsupportedJsonItem
• IJsonItemConverter:
  • added two new properties: Priority and ConvertableType -> because converters are automatically collected by plugin infrastructure now
  • Extract, Inject references a root converter now -> typically an instance of JsonItemConverter -> to prevent cycles
• JsonItemConverter:
  • now implements the interface IJsonItemConverter
  • is now a dynamic class
  • is only instantiable with an factory (JsonItemConverterFactory)
  • still has the old (but now public) static methods Extract and Inject (without ref param IJsonItemConverter root) -> creates instance with factory and calls methods of instance
  • removed register and unregister methods, because the factory collects all converters automatically now (on first call of Create)
  • has cycle detection for Extract and Inject
  • renamed method Get to GetConverter

[dpiringe]

r17395:

• JCGenerator is now a dynamic class and can return all JsonItems for an IOptimizer now (instead of string only) + it is now possible to generate an template string with an IEnumerable<JsonItem>
• added first version of an export dialog for JsonInterface
  • it is organized with a main view (for the dialog) and some user controls (for a better visualization of an JsonItem -> to reduce wrong user inputs)

r17407:

[dpiringe]

r17408 moved JsonItem, ResultItem and UnsupportedJsonItem into new folder Models

[dpiringe]

r17410:

• deleted JsonItemArrayControl and JsonItemDefaultControl
• redesigned architecture for JsonItem: now there are different types of JsonItem (IntJsonItem, BoolJsonItem, ...) -> for better type safety and expandability
• fixed bug in BaseConverter for GetMinValue and GetMaxValue for IntValue, but ignored for other value types (DoubleValue, DateTimeValue, ...) because the redesign of JsonItem-Architecture can make these two methods obsolet soon
• fixed bug in JsonItemConverter to prevent null pointer exceptions
• refactored value and range converters -> removed complicated generic ValueTypeValueConverter and ValueRangeConverter and implemented the necessary methods directly in concrete classes (improves readability and removes the need of reflection)

  • this enables better scaling with more user controls
• JsonItemVMBase implements MVVM architecture

[dpiringe]

[dpiringe]

r17444:

• added two new methods in IJsonItem -> FixatePath and LoosenPath to fixate/loosen the path (to enable name changing without effects on path)

• now all items gets validated before export (validation errors are shown with ErrorHandling.ShowErrorDialog)
• added a check in AlgorithmConverter to prevent an exception for accessing the first element of an empty IEnumerable

[dpiringe]

r17446:

[dpiringe]

r17464:

• updated view models for new json item structure
• updated SingleLineArrayJsonWriter

[dpiringe]

r17477:

• refactored JsonTemplateInstantiator -> now returns a InstantiatorResult which contains the optimizer and an IEnumerable of IResultJsonItem
• code cleanup in JCGenerator
• relocated the serialization of json items into IJsonItem with method GenerateJObject (virtual base implementation in JsonItem)
  • this allows custom serialization for json items (example: ValueLookupJsonItem)
  • items of interface IIntervalRestrictedJsonItem have a custom implementation of GenerateJObject -> hides Minimum and Maximum if the values are the physically min/max of their type
• code cleanup in BaseConverter

[dpiringe]

r17478:

• removed type extension for type comparison (was a complicated comparison, which should not be a public extension method for Type)
  • comparison is now located (as private method) in JsonItemConverter
  • also simplified it a lot (did some tests to measure the relevance of specific checks -> last check got completely removed)

[dpiringe]

r17481:

• refactored json item validation process -> every method now returns a ValidationResult containing bool Success (true if validation is successful) and IEnumerable<string> Errors (error messages)
