Following discussion on IRC with marmoute, it seems that having an
individual namespace as an object would look better. Here is a
hypothetical example:
repo.names = {}
repo.names["bookmarks"] = namespace.create(repo, "bookmarks", "bookmark", ...)
repo.names["bookmarks"].listnames() (should we rename 'allnames'?)
repo.names["bookmarks"].templatename
repo.names["bookmarks"].namesof(nodeid)
Let's look at all the method names we have so far,
- singlenode(name) -> returns first node found, errors out otherwise
- names(namespace, node) -> returns list of names
- namesof(node) -> return dictionary of {namespace: name}
- allnames(namespace) -> returns list of names in a namespace
- namespaces() -> return list of namespaces
Here's how it would look as an object:
- singlenode(name) -> returns first node found, errors out otherwise
- names(node) -> returns list of names
- repo.names.namesof(node) -> return dictionary of {namespace: name}
- allnames() -> returns list of names in a namespace
- repo.names.keys() -> return list of namespaces
So, the only kink here is the 'namesof' method since we'd be operating
on each namespace independently. Thoughts?
