Remove InPortData and OutPortData #7301

ikeough · 2016-10-26T14:27:30Z

Purpose

This PR represents a substantial refactoring of ports and connectors.

This PR removes the InPortData and OutPortData collections on NodeModel. These collections pre-date the InPorts and OutPorts collections, and were previously deprecated. They acted as a way to store initialization data for ports during the construction of the node, with the assumption that at some point after they were filled, NodeModel.RegisterAllPorts would be called, subsequently creating/updating ports on the nodes. This indirection was not obvious or useful and led to the InportData and OutportData collections getting out of sync with the InPorts and OutPorts collections.

In the beginning, collections in Dynamo were not observable, so we created a lot of events like NodeModel.PortConnected and NodeModel.ConnectorConnected when ports and connectors were added. As we have moved to using observable collections, it's much easier to deal with the creation and deletion of ports, connectors, nodes, etc., by simply handling the collection changed events for those collections and doing the right thing. This PR gets us part of the way towards a fully observable methodology by adjusting NodeModel to watch the collection changed events for the InPorts and OutPorts collections, and consolidating logic previously spread among numerous event handlers into those collection change handlers.

Additionally, this PR removes a number of methods which seemed like a good idea three years ago, but now only add confusion. For example. PortModel.Connect was a very thin wrapper around PortModel.Connectors.Add(someNewConnector). These thin wrappers have been removed except in cases where the wrapper contained some assertion logic.

@ikeough DynamoStorage is using node.inportdata.

ikeough · 2016-10-28T15:43:20Z

@ramramps Thanks! I'll fix that.

src/DynamoCore/Graph/Nodes/NodeModel.cs


            RaisesModificationEvents = true;
+
+            InPorts.CollectionChanged += PortsCollectionChanged;


these handlers should be removed in the dispose method right?

Ah yes. Nice catch @mjkkirschner.

mjkkirschner · 2016-10-31T18:59:40Z

src/DynamoCore/Graph/Nodes/NodeModel.cs

+        private void PortsCollectionChanged(object sender, System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
+        {
+            ValidateConnections();
+            ConfigureSnapEdges(sender == InPorts?InPorts : OutPorts);


sender will be a collection? not the modified element?

Yes. The CollectionChanged event's sender is the collection. You can get at the elements that have been changed by using the NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs.

                case "Center":
                    RaisePropertyChanged("Center");
                    break;
-                case "DefaultValueEnabled":


what was the reason to get rid of this?

DefaultValueEnabled was removed on the NodeModel, so the change event can be removed here. The property was removed from NodeModel in favor of using the more precise DefaultValue == null.

-            InPortData.Add(new PortData("reductor", Resources.ReducePortDataReductorToolTip));
-            InPortData.Add(new PortData("seed", Resources.ReducePortDataSeedToolTip));
-            InPortData.Add(new PortData("list1", Resources.PortDataListToolTip + " #1"));
+            InPorts.Add(new PortModel(PortType.Input, this, new PortData("reductor", Resources.ReducePortDataReductorToolTip)));


just curious... what happens when a zero touch node author adds a PortModel of type Output to the InPortscollection... do we crash?

Nothing. This design is not great and needs to be cleaned up, but I didn't want to do it as part of this PR. We should remove PortType because it doesn't have any real meaning. Whether a port is an "input" or an "output" can be determined by whether it's in the InPorts or the OutPorts collections respectively.

mjkkirschner · 2016-10-31T19:07:10Z

@ikeough this looks good to me. I have a few questions though, see some of the comments, also, does this effectively break all nodeModelnodes made by third parties, or any other others up until now. For example, the Dynamo Samples repo will need to be updated and Revit UI nodes?

Is there any work necessary for zero touch node authors?

ikeough · 2016-11-01T12:35:36Z

@mjkkirschner Yes. This will break third party nodes, the samples, and Revit. That is why this is a 2.0 change. Fortunately, the InportData and OutportData collections have been marked as deprecated for several versions.

…ort collection change in view model.

…on sync.

- Remove Connect and Disconnect methods in favor of allowing connectors to be added to the Connectors collection. - Consolidate port connect and disconnect handling logic into collection changed handlers. - Remove methods on NodeModel which allow finding whether a port is connected by index, in favor of one method on PortModel, IsConnected. - Fix collapse logic on custom node manager.

+                    outputs.Where(x => x.InPorts[0].IsConnected).Select(x => Tuple.Create(0, x as NodeModel)));


API Change: NodeModel.HasInput(...) has been removed. Use PortModel.IsConnected instead.

                            node =>

-                                .Where(node.HasConnectedInput)
+                                .Where(index=>node.InPorts[index].Connectors.Any())


We can't use the PortModel.IsConnected method here because that assumes default values as part of connection. Here we really want to know if the port has any connectors, so we use the more idiomatic Connectors.Any()

ikeough · 2016-11-03T20:12:29Z

        /// </summary>

        /// without raising port disconnection events.</param>
-        internal void Delete(bool silent = false)


The silent parameter was never used.

src/DynamoCore/Graph/Nodes/CustomNodes/CustomNodeController.cs

-            var inputs = Definition.DisplayParameters.Zip(Definition.Parameters, (dp, p) => Tuple.Create(dp, p.Description, p.DefaultValue));
-            foreach (var p in inputs)
-                model.InPortData.Add(new PortData(p.Item1, p.Item2, p.Item3));
+            var inputs = Definition.DisplayParameters.Zip(Definition.Parameters, (dp, p) => Tuple.Create(dp, p.Description, p.DefaultValue)).ToList();


The following logic originally lived on NodeModel in RegisterOutputs(). We move it here for custom nodes so that their ports are not deleted when the underlying function definition changes, but the ports are updated.

I've got one concern here and this is a lot of zt node authors desire to actually use null as a default value... maybe that design decision is out of scope for this PR and this won't actually change the behavior (I dont think it will) just wanted to mention it.

because this change will effect our internal libraries and many external ones, should we create an issue to track public documentation / update notes on this change and what internal repos still need to be updated?
