Minutes
(reviewing API Metadata chapter)
handlerFunction
Jon: Lori's changes look fine to me
mix element
Lori: Does 'toProperty' need a note about the attribute being ignored if no 'fromProperty'?
Jon: Yes
mixin element
Lori: What's difference between mix and mixin?
Jon: They are a pair. mixin defines something that can be used. mix references a mixin. mixin is parallel to class.
Lori: If you class will be mixed, does class have to be inside of a mixin? Why have mixin as different than class.
Jon: Can mix a class without putting it as a child of a mixin. Difference between class and mixin is semantic. A mixin is meant to be mixed and should not be constructed.
Lori/Jon: Need more words to make sure this is clear.
mix element (again)
Jon: What about red-colored comment at bottom? I filled out some defaults and added a sentence at bottom about how you must have one of fromProperty or fromScope. I put red-colored note so people could review these additions.
Lori: But fromScope has a default
Jon: Good point
RESOLUTION: Drop "Additional information" section with sentence about requiring fromProperty or fromScope.
Lori: I'll make the changes
Factory methods
Lori: Bertrand, do you have a real-world example for the simple case?
Bertrand: I'll have to get back to you on that
singleton
RESOLUTION: Remove words 'global' and 'static' from first sentence. Unnecessary and might be inaccurate in some scenarios.
RESOLUTION: Shorten 'name' attribute description for full stop after "for the singleton".
parameter
RESOLUTION: Shorten 'name' attribute description for full stop after "of this parameter".
Properties chapter
Lori: I started on it. Only minor editorial things so far.
Jon: Let's close the call and resume with Properties next week.
