Flows - Generating Documentation with Doxygen

Posted Fri, 06/26/2009 - 00:19 by PaulBHartzog

Today I successfully generated some documentation directly from commented Flows code in both php and python, and I also found that Doxygen ought to work with Ruby (we'll see). In a Flows-like way, Doxygen generates the documentation in XML, HTML, RTF, etc.

I learned enough about the process though to realize that it might be smarter to write a Flows component that generates the documentation you need when you are looking at it in the browser, instead of pre-generating static files of documentation.

Will have to contemplate....

Flows Development HowTo

http://flows.panarchy.com/index.php?title=Development_HowTo

Basically:

1. Pick a programming language: python, php, etc.
2. Download the template for components in that language, or in another language if your choice is not available.

Mercurial Repository:
http://code.google.com/p/flows-dev/

3. Add in the desired functionality
4. Make your component accessible via HTTP

that's it. srsly.

Q: But why is it so simple?

WSGI Webserver

Posted Sat, 06/06/2009 - 11:48 by PaulBHartzog

wrote a wsgi webserver
that will let me parse everything after the http://hostname:port/

so

http://localhost:8051/path/to/thing

gets me "/path/to/thing"
as a string which I can parse however I want to

FLOWS is flowing!

I did a lot of work over on http://flows.panarchy.com today.

Got a variety of Flows components talking to each other, listening for REST requests, and returning html and xml.

Looks promising. :-)
