GBC Demo Application

This was written as a demo application for a custom GBC - not as production quality code.

Disclaimer - It's a demo! - it's not fully functional and purely example code!

NOTE: This was written using the EAP3 vesion of Genero 3.20 - I will updating it for newer releases as and when I can.

NOTE: The GBC customization was done using the 1.00.53 release.

Folders

• Screenshots : The screenshots for this README
• db : My sqlite demo database
• dbexport : An Informix dbexport of my current demo database
• etc : 4st / 4ad / 4rp / 4db etc
• gas : XCF file for deployment
• gst_gas : An XCF for when running via GST
• pics : Logo's
• src : Source code for the applications
• src/lib : Library source code

This demo uses imported git repos for common library code and GBC customizations

• git submodule add https://github.com/neilm-fourjs/g2_lib.git g2_lib
• git submodule add https://github.com/neilm-fourjs/gbc_mdi.git gbc_mdi

If libraries change do: git submodule foreach git pull origin master

Building

This was written and tested on Linux and built using GeneroStudio 3.20, the Makefile is used to setup additional folders.

• Required: GST 3.20 installed licensed and the environment set eg: . envgenero
• For notes on building the GBC see https://github.com/neilm-fourjs/gbc_mdi.git

IMPORTANT Make sure you use the --recursive flag when you clone this repo, eg: On Linux

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/neilm-fourjs/gbc_app.git
$ cd gbc_app
$ make
$ make

Database

This demo uses my njm_demo310 database as created by the mk_db program here: https://github.com/neilm-fourjs/njms_demos310/tree/master/src/db

I've only tested this application against Informix, PostgreSQL and SQLite.

To run locally with the included SQLite DB you'll need to change the etc/profile to load that database driver.

Running

At the time of writing this, I have a deployed version of the demo that can be run from here: https://generodemos.dynu.net/f/ua/r/gbc_app

NOTE: This is actually running on a Raspberry Pi using: rasbian / lighttpd / postgresSQL

There is no login code in this demo so you can login using any user/pass values. If you want a login demo see https://github.com/neilm-fourjs/loginDemo

Genero 3.20 Specific

This demo uses the new structure methods feature. eg:

PUBLIC TYPE logger RECORD
  dirName STRING,
  fileName STRING,
  fileExt STRING,
  fullLogPath STRING,
  useDate BOOLEAN
END RECORD

#+ Set the logging Dir / Name / Ext / useDate
#+
#+ @param l_dir Directory to log to - can be NULL to use $LOGDIR
#+ @param l_name File name - can be NULL to default to use $LOGNAME
#+ @param l_ext File extension - can be NULL to default ( .log )
#+ @param l_useDate string "true" / "false" include the date in the log name
FUNCTION (this logger) init(l_dir STRING, l_name STRING, l_ext STRING, l_useDate STRING) RETURNS()
  CALL this.setLogDir(l_dir)

...


IMPORT FGL g2_logging
&include "g2_debug.inc"

PUBLIC DEFINE g2_err g2_logging.logger
...
  CALL g2_err.init(NULL, NULL, "err", "TRUE")
  DISPLAY "StartLog ", g2_err.fullLogPath
  CALL STARTLOG(g2_err.fullLogPath)
...
