| Feb 10, 2016 at 14:05 | comment | added | foobarbecue | I guess soapi.js is dead now? Someone should edit this to make that clear if so... And preferably suggest an alternative that works with API 2.2, if there is one. I can't seem to find any :-( | |

| Jul 20, 2010 at 12:22 | comment | added | Steffen Opel | @code poet - that's great news, congrats for release 1.0 :) Thanks much for the heads up and persistently tackling this crucial issue in the first place, and thanks even more for the great library again! | |
| Jul 20, 2010 at 6:00 | comment | added | Sky Sanders | @steffen - heads up. throttle issue resolved - soapi.js released. now just need to flatten some closures to tighten up the memory footprint. Thanks for you feedback and support. | |

release 1 finally
|
| Jul 19, 2010 at 5:09 | comment | added | Sky Sanders | @geo - sure, when I next update the question I will also update the list with all apps that are listed under the 'more' item. | |
| Jul 19, 2010 at 2:01 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | @code: Heh-heh... missed that. Can you please add StackCenter to your list of apps that use Soapi.JS? | |
| Jul 19, 2010 at 0:46 | comment | added | Sky Sanders | @geo - Date handling in Soapi.js - no more unix timestamps. All dates, all the time. -> stackapps.com/questions/494/soapi-js-date-handling/977#977 | |
| Jul 18, 2010 at 22:47 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | Please bold the "unix timestamps are converted to/from JavaScript Date transparently" part. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why something wasn't working... and this was why. | |
| Jul 18, 2010 at 12:22 | comment | added | Yacoby | @code I don't seem to be having any problems with the latest version :) | |

@yacoby - in the meantime, try function isArray(obj) { return (typeof (obj) != 'undefined') && obj.constructor && obj.constructor.toString().indexOf("Array") != -1; }
|
|
| Jul 6, 2010 at 14:05 | comment | added | Sky Sanders | @yacoby - also it would help me understand the problem and perhaps identify potential issues if you would state the OS/Browser that you are using when this error occurs. Please do so in a ticket and we will get this resolved. | |
| Jul 6, 2010 at 13:55 | comment | added | Sky Sanders |
@Yacoby, while the internal code should not be calling isArray on an undefined value, I probably should guard it a little more. Keep in mind that undefined can be assigned to anything, so obj!==undefined is considered weak compared to typeof(obj)=='undefined'. You should open a ticket here: soapijs.codeplex.com/workitem/list/basic so that we can document this
|

@code poet Sometimes undefined is passed to isArray which causes an error. I changed line 621 to return (obj !== undefined && obj.constructor.toString().indexOf("Array") !== -1); and deleted lines 622 to 629. I don't yet know why undefined was passed to the function. I suspect it is an error in my code.

| Jul 1, 2010 at 19:34 | comment | added | Steffen Opel | @code poet - Awesome, thanks so much! It would have been a real pity not being able to built upon your excellent work, which isn't just extremely productive, but really opened new design options regarding my project architecture, very inspiring! So thanks again, I really hope there's something in it for all of us in the long run, aside from all the fun, anyway :) | |
| Jul 1, 2010 at 14:35 | comment | added | Sky Sanders | @steffen - licensing has been updated here and in the package. thanks. | |

amended license
|
| Jul 1, 2010 at 13:57 | comment | added | Sky Sanders | @steffen - thanks for bringing this up and adding some well researched context to your question. Yes, initially i released soapi dual licensed ala jquery. I don't know when/why this changed in my mind but it just seemed to propagate throughout without questioning it. I will make it clear that it is (again) dual licensed and that until the next release where this will be codified, feel free to amend any license notice accordingly with my blessing. | |
| Jul 1, 2010 at 11:27 | comment | added | Steffen Opel | To add some context: GPL licensing with JavaScript is obviously a complex matter, highlighted pretty well e.g. in Is this scenario in compliance with GPLv3?. A more concise summary might be GPL and Javascript. See Richard Stallmanns position regarding the The JavaScript Trap too, eventually, as he refers to input from John Resig of jQuery fame specifically. | |
| Jul 1, 2010 at 10:58 | comment | added | Steffen Opel | I just realized that Soapi.JS is licensed under the GPL v2 only. That's generally fine, appreciated and your choice anyway, however: I'm currently in the prototyping phase regarding some larger projects and have to decide which components to build these upon. While I intend to open source most derived components too (hard to avoid with JS anyway ;) the assembled apps might not be for various reasons (think e.g. GAE/GWT here). Are you considering dual licensing Soapi.JS in the future, e.g. (ideally ;) with the MIT License like jQuery or (understandably) a commercial license option? Thanks much! | |

| Jun 26, 2010 at 23:51 | comment | added | Sky Sanders | @yacoby - yes, the stackauth methods will be folded in the next version. for reference, the routes are named similarly to the url so /users/{id}/answers would be usersByIdAnswers. You can use beta 4 to get acquainted with the library but since the API is frozen, I have suspended code generation and am manually refactoring the library. I am not taking anything out, just consolidating. I will release it as beta 9. should be in | |
| Jun 26, 2010 at 23:02 | comment | added | Yacoby | @code One last question... How do I get answers by user id? | |
| Jun 26, 2010 at 22:19 | comment | added | Yacoby |
@code Np. Are you also working on a wrapper around the /sites method? (I may have just missed it in the current version)
|
|
| Jun 26, 2010 at 18:35 | comment | added | Sky Sanders | @Yacoby - sorry about that. updated to beta 4. have yet to incorporate the stackauth methods in js. am working on refining the code generation and will inform when update is available. | |

| Jun 16, 2010 at 10:41 | comment | added | Sky Sanders | @system - the displayname property was removed from the /stats return. so, yeah, I guess it is correct. ;-) | |
| Jun 16, 2010 at 7:34 | comment | added | systempuntoout | @code: is it correct to see Undefined on top of the widgets of this page? soapi.info/Code/JS/Stable/StackExchangeStatusMonitor.htm | |
| Jun 14, 2010 at 3:55 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | @code: You should drop by #stackapps on Freenode :) | |
| Jun 14, 2010 at 3:49 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | @code: I'd offer to make something, except my plate is quite full :) [what with your contest and all!] | |
| Jun 14, 2010 at 3:27 | comment | added | Sky Sanders | @george - last time I checked it did not support javascript xml comments. I will take another look. I certainly do not look forward to managing this myself. I have other things I would like to do. Thanks for the heads up. | |
| Jun 14, 2010 at 3:18 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | @code: Wouldn't Doxygen be more what you're looking for? IIRC, it can generate CHM, HTML, LaTeX, etc. from Javascript code. | |
| Jun 14, 2010 at 2:30 | comment | added | Sky Sanders | @farseeker - the method names are not the prettiest, but as I intend all of the Soapi libraries to serve as solid core foundations upon which higher level libraries can be built I felt it would be best to generate all of the identifiers directly from the api specs. Once I have the core libraries up I will post examples of extending Soapi with lazy loaded object graphs. say, start with a Users, dot Questions will load questions if empty (Users.Questions.load/refresh are explicit directives) and so on throughout the object graph enabling fluent dot navigation across the entire api. | |
| Jun 14, 2010 at 2:02 | comment | added | Mark Henderson |
Turns out I was just being dense. I was using singlar instead of plurar (getQuestionById instead of getQuestionsById)
|
|
| Jun 14, 2010 at 1:33 | comment | added | Sky Sanders | @farseeker - I am finishing up the beta3 of soapi.cs and soapi.sl and getting that documentation generated. Then I will have to break out my old proof of concept javascript documentation generator, get it up to date and generate .chm and html docs for Soapi.JS as well. FWIW the method names are generated directly from the route path with a few formating conventions. With a little examination the pattern will become clear. | |

@code, maybe I'm going blind, but how do you retrieve just a question? I see AnswersById, but this is only valid for answers, not questions, and I'm not using VS so I can't see the intellisense hints, and I've scoured the soapi.generated.js file to try and find the parameter and maybe I'm just tired... sigh
