- render() bodies: one HTML line per 'h = h ..' statement, single-
quoted attributes, ${} holes, esc() on data — el() chains gone
- discovered + recorded gap #3: no multi-line expressions or literals
(leading/trailing .. and paren grouping all reject at NEWLINE) —
exactly the tax story 37's raw literal deletes
- 37-target comment blocks dropped (bodies now self-explanatory; the
README states the delta); rebuilt + full buy-flow re-smoked (178.0
total, stock 12->10, 409, traversal 404)

# shop — the writeonce program template
|
|
|
|
A small store you can buy from, structured the way a real writeonce web
|
|
app should be. **Copy this directory to start a new app**; every file
|
|
has one concern, and the module system (one directory = one module,
|
|
`pub` = the export line) enforces the separation the layout promises.
|
|
|
|
## Run it
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd docs/examples/shop
|
|
woc . && WO_DATA=./data ./target/shop 8080 # durable store
|
|
./target/shop 8080 # RAM-only (dev)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Browse http://127.0.0.1:8080/ — products → product page → buy (stock
|
|
checked and decremented) → confirmation → /orders. With `WO_DATA`, kill
|
|
it and restart: the orders are still there (WAL replay).
|
|
|
|
## The file map (Angular equivalents)
|
|
|
|
| this template | concern | Angular analog |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `types.wo` | MODEL — `@table` classes ARE the WAL database | `models/*.ts` (+ the entire database) |
|
|
| `layout/app.wo` | app shell: document, header+footer composition, `ok_html`/`html_error` transport helpers | `app.component.html` |
|
|
| `layout/header.wo` / `footer.wo` | shared chrome fragments | `header.html` / `footer.html` |
|
|
| `product_list/view.wo` | VIEW — classes with `fn render() -> Text`, fields = exactly what is displayed | `product-list/view.html` |
|
|
| `product_list.controller.wo` | CONTROLLER — query the model, fill the view, answer a `Resp` (one file per feature, root module) | component `.ts` + service |
|
|
| `product_page/`, `orders/` | one view module per feature + its root controller file | feature folders |
|
|
| `static_files/controller.wo` | `/assets/*` from disk, traversal-safe, typed | `angular.json` assets |
|
|
| `assets/style.css` | ONE real stylesheet, sectioned per feature | the `.scss` files |
|
|
| the `render()` bodies | markup-first TODAY: one HTML line per `h = h ..` statement, `${}` holes; story 37 collapses each body to ONE raw literal with `{{ }}` auto-escaped typed holes | Vue `<template>` (in-SFC) |
|
|
| `main.wo` | bootstrap: seed, routes, serve — nothing else | `app-routing.module.ts` + `main.ts` |
|
|
|
|
Separation is compiler-enforced where the language allows it today:
|
|
each feature's VIEW directory is a module — the root controllers see
|
|
only its `pub` classes and `layout`'s exports. Controllers themselves
|
|
sit in the root module beside `types.wo`, because of gap #1 below.
|
|
|
|
## What is deliberately different (doctrine)
|
|
|
|
- **Templates compile or they don't exist (story 37).** The views are
|
|
markup-first within today's language: one HTML line per `h = h ..`
|
|
statement (single-quoted attributes — no escape noise), `${}` holes,
|
|
data through `esc()`. Story 37's raw template literal removes exactly
|
|
the two taxes you can see: the `h = h ..` prefix on every line (the
|
|
language has NO multi-line expression or literal — recorded gap #3,
|
|
proven while writing this file) and the explicit `esc()` calls
|
|
(`{{ }}` auto-escapes and type-checks; `{!! !!}` is the raw slot).
|
|
Same markup, less ceremony. NO template engine runs at request time —
|
|
ever. Styles stay a real CSS file, served statically (there is no
|
|
scss preprocessor).
|
|
- **No closures, no DI.** A view is a class with fields + `render()`;
|
|
a controller is a class satisfying `Handler`. Capture = a field.
|
|
- **No sessions/cart yet.** Buying is per-product (qty → order). A cart
|
|
needs a session story that does not exist yet.
|
|
- **No client-side JS.** Every interaction is a form round trip.
|
|
- **`pub` + `@table` cannot combine yet (recorded gap #1).** An
|
|
annotated class cannot be exported, so a shared `types/` MODULE is
|
|
impossible today — which is why the controllers live in the root
|
|
module with `types.wo` instead of inside their feature folders. A
|
|
one-clause grammar fix closes this; until then the template shows the
|
|
honest layout.
|
|
- **`@view` projection classes (recorded gap #2):** today controllers
|
|
copy row fields into view classes by hand. The wished-for form —
|
|
`class ProductCard @view { ... }` filled by
|
|
`from p in Product select p.name, p.price` — needs projection
|
|
queries; recorded, not worked around.
|
|
|
|
## Judging the DX — what to look at
|
|
|
|
1. `types.wo` — the entire persistence layer is 20 lines.
|
|
2. `orders.controller.wo` — the whole buying flow (validate, stock
|
|
check, decrement, durable insert, render) with no framework magic.
|
|
3. `orders/view.wo` — the referendum: is HTML-per-line with `${}`
|
|
holes readable enough today, and is 37's delta (delete every
|
|
`h = h ..` prefix and `esc()` call) worth a compiler slice?
|
|
4. `main.wo` — the app at a glance: five routes, one middleware, serve.
