[Dynapi-Dev] How to add a Configuration file to your web apps

[Raymond I. <xw...@ya...>]

With DynAPI 3.0 it's now very easy to add a
configuration file to your web apps.

By using the IOElementSoda Class you can easily
convert a JavaScript Object into and xml document as
shown below:

var ini = {
	usecart:false,
	color:'red',
	timeout:5
};

dynapi.debug.print(IOElement.ws_Var2SODA(ini));

Which should display:

<soda>
	<o0>
	<a1>
		<s2>usecart|color|timeout</s2>
		<r1/>
		<a2>
			<b3>false</b3>
			<r2/>
			<s3>red</s3>
			<r2/>
			<i3>5</i3>
		</a2>
	</a1>
	</o0>
</soda>


You can then save the SODA Object to a file on the
server. For example config.ini

Later you could then reopen the config.ini file and
convert it back into a JavaScript Object:

var fl = new FileReader(function(){
	var str = fl.read('config.ini'); // load file from
server
	var ini = IOElement.ws_SODA2Var(str);
	// now we can use the ini object
	if(ini.color) document.bgcolor = ini.color;
});



Any comments?
