Model-Glue and Reactor (MGR) – quick start

Not sure if anyone has coined MGR all ready but hey. So before 'Unity' comes out I thought I would create a 'quick start' for 2 of the frameworks which will be in it, model-glue and reactor.

What’s the purpose of it?
It’s a quick start, if you want to start with MGR or have vast experience with it, MGR-QS will get you up and running ASAP.

There are instructions included with the file, simple follow them and away you go. Feel back I very welcome, I kinda a newbie.

You can download the quick-start from the menu on the left.

Brian Kotek's Gravatar Nice work! However, one word of advice from someone who's also released some examples using Model-Glue, ColdSpring and Reactor together. The only thing you're going to have to be diligent about if you choose to include the actual MG and Reactor framework files is to keep up with the changes. Model-Glue is quite stable, but Reactor is updated on an almost daily basis.

Nick Tong's Gravatar Thanks Brian, I am a little unsure about including the core files but that said it's nice to have it all in one place. What I was thinking of creating a function for interrogating SVN on both apps and downloading them if they change, it would then zip them up for the download on this site. If I do that I will share my experience, should be a fun challenge. I know Ray Camden has a CFC for SVN interrogation somewhere?

Lola Lee Beno's Gravatar I have a question . . . is there an actual database that goes with this? I'm asking because you say to update the database dsn. If so, is there a MySQL version? I only use MySQL on this OSX laptop.

Nick Tong's Gravatar Hi Lola,

There is no database that comes with the quick start. It assumes that you will use the database that you've designed to use with your application. If you're just playing with it and don't have a project in my then just make a database up. A good example could be to make a contacts database and have a user table. Then if you look through Dougs documentation it will show you how to interact with the database.

If you're using MySQL also remember to change the 'type value' to MySQL

HTH
