Init String, stringWithFormat, CPString

   1 var str1 = [CPString initWithString: @""];
   2 var str2 = [CPString initWithString: @""]; 
   3 var str3 = [CPString stringWithFormat:"StrX %s %s %s" , [obj field1] , [obj field2] , [obj field3] ];
   4 var strLen [str3 length];

Mutable Array

   1 @import <Foundation/CPMutableArray.j>
   2 
   3 var arrayX = [[CPMutableArray alloc] init];

Callbacks

   1 @implementation TestObject : CPObject
   2 {
   3 }
   4 
   5 -(void)helloWorld{
   6   CPLogConsole("Called hello world");
   7 }
   8 //(...)
   9 @end
  10 
  11 //--------------------
  12 var selectorHelloWorld =  @selector(helloWorld) ;
  13 var signature = [self methodSignatureForSelector: aSelector];
  14 var invocation = [CPInvocation invocationWithMethodSignature:signature];
  15 [invocation setSelector: selectorHelloWorld];
  16 [invocation invokeWithTarget: self]; //self -> instance of TestObject
  17

   1 @implementation TestObject : CPObject
   2 {
   3 }
   4 
   5 -(void)helloWorldMsg:(CPString) message p1:(int)intVal {
   6   CPLogConsole( message  );
   7   CPLogConsole( intVal  );
   8 }
   9 //(...)
  10 @end
  11 
  12 //--------------------
  13 var selectorHelloWorldMsg =  @selector(helloWorldMsg:p1:) ;
  14 var sig = [self methodSignatureForSelector: selectorHelloWorldMsg];
  15 var invocation = [CPInvocation invocationWithMethodSignature:sig];
  16 [invocation setSelector: selectorHelloWorldMsg];
  17 [invocation setArgument:@"Message" atIndex:2 ]; //0-> self 1->_cmd 
  18 [invocation setArgument: 1234 atIndex:3 ]; //0-> self 1->_cmd 
  19 [invocation invokeWithTarget: self];

Dates

   1 var datex = [CPDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970: dateInSeconds]; //set CPDate with seconds since 01-01-1970 UTC
   2 var strDate = [instanceCPDate description];// get string with date in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS TZ±HHMM.               
   3

Dictionary from JSON object

   1 - (void)connection:(CPURLConnection) connection didReceiveData:(CPString)data
   2 {
   3   var dict = [CPDictionary dictionaryWithJSObject: [data objectFromJSON]  ];    
   4   [textField setStringValue:  [dict valueForKey:@"lkeyx"] ];
   5 }
   6 
   7 - (void)connection:(CPURLConnection)connection didFailWithError:(CPString)error
   8 {
   9 }

URL request

   1   var url = [CPString  stringWithFormat:"/JEE-war/rest/getInfo/%@", [textField stringValue] ] ;   
   2   var request = [CPURLRequest requestWithURL: url ];
   3   var connection = [CPURLConnection connectionWithRequest:request delegate:self]; //calls didFailWithError and didReceiveData

Mime types Glassfish + JBoss

Adapted from https://github.com/cappuccino/cappuccino/wiki/Server-Side-Issues

You need to have the mime type of file types it doesn’t understand set to something for Cappuccino to work. Specifically, you should set the following mime-type/extension pairs. This can be done in the web.xml:

   1 <mime-mapping>
   2      <extension>j</extension>
   3      <mime-type>text/javascript</mime-type>
   4 </mime-mapping>
   5 <mime-mapping>
   6      <extension>plist</extension>
   7      <mime-type>text/xml</mime-type>
   8 </mime-mapping>
   9 <mime-mapping>
  10       <extension>sj</extension>
  11       <mime-type>text/javascript</mime-type>
  12 </mime-mapping>

Index of string

Apple Foundation data types

   1 var range = [data rangeOfString:@"str xyz"];
   2 CPLogConsole( JSON.stringify(range) );
   3 // CPrange has fields location and length 
   4 // If location >=0 the string has been found
   5

TableView

   1 //allow multiple selections , CPTableView (NSTableView)
   2 [tableviewx setAllowsMultipleSelection:YES];

Timer

   1 @import <Foundation/CPTimer.j>
   2 
   3 CPTimer _timer;
   4 
   5 // timer each 5 seconds
   6 _timer = [CPTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:5.0 target:self selector:@selector(timerHandler:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
   7 
   8 -(void)timerHandler:(id)sender {
   9     [self updateData];
  10         
  11     if( [self isVisible]==false ){
  12         // terminates the timer
  13         [_timer invalidate];
  14     }
  15 }

Button

   1 // create button
   2 CPButton cpbutton = [CPButton alloc];
   3 [cpbutton initWithFrame:CGRectMakeZero()];
   4 [cpbutton setFrameOrigin:CGPointMake(10,10)];                
   5 [cpbutton setFrameSize:CGSizeMake(100,25)];                
   6 [cpbutton setTitle: @"Buttonx"];
   7 [cpbutton setTarget: self];
   8 [cpbutton setAction: @selector(cpbuttonClicked:)];      
   9 [aView addSubview: cpbutton];
  10 // clicked handler
  11 -(void)cpbuttonClicked:(id)sender {
  12 //(...)
  13 }
  14 //enable button
  15 [cpbutton setEnabled:YES];
  16 //disable button
  17 [cpbutton setEnabled:NO];
