Re: [orion-dev] application client vs toolkit frameworks?

[Silenio Quarti <Silenio_Quarti@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The method TextModel.onChange() is public
(not prefixed by _) to let application code written with dojo (for example)
use dojo.connect() instead of adding a listener to the model (TextModel.addListener()).

As Susan said, most applications will
only need to add listeners to the editor (not to the model).  Adding
a listener on the editor is done by calling Editor.addEventListener().
 If you want to know when the editor modified the model hook the "Modify"
listener.  If you want to know when any modification is done in the
model hook "ModelChanged".  Again, you could use dojo.connect()
instead of Editor.addEventListener().

The editor guys can explain the original intent behind
"toolkit framework," but I think about some heavy duty text framework
that perhaps presents a higher level API to clients but needs to know more
detail about the implementation.

I read this as saying "if you want to know when the editor makes a
change, hook an onModelChanged listener on the editor rather than knowing
about the editor model and using it directly."
Ideally if you are just trying to embed the editor and respond to changes,
you can get by with using only public editor "application" API.
If you can't get by, then we would want to know and would look at expanding
the API.

editor/web/js/model.js onChange says:

        * <p>
        * NOTE: This method is not meant to called

application code. It is called internally by the TextModel
        * as part of the implementation of {@link #setText}.
This 
method is included in the public API for documentation
        * purposes and to allow integration with other
toolkit frameworks.

What is an application client and what is "other toolkit framework"?

I have a program that wants to know when the editor makes a change.
