From Rails to Erlyweb - Part III

3. The Magic Behind Erlyweb

With dynamic typing, hot code swapping, built-in parsing and compilation tools, Erlang is also suitable for dynamic meta-programming. Erlyweb uses a small convenient tool smerl to generate db record CRUD code automatically.

The music example on erlyweb.org shows the magic:

Define a simple musician.erl module (just one line here):

-module(musician).

Then, you will get a long list functions for musician module after erlyweb:compile("apps/music"). Sounds similar to Rails.

I like to watch magic show, but I can't stand that I do not know the things behind magic in programming. For Rails, the magic behind it always makes me headache, it's too difficult to follow who, where, some code are injected into a class or module. But in Erlang, it's super easy.

I add a simple function to erlyweb_app.erl (please see my previous post):

-export([decompile/2]).

decompile(AppName, Beam) when is_atom(AppName) ->
    decompile(atom_to_list(AppName), Beam);
decompile(AppName, Beam) when is_list(AppName) ->
    BinFilename = "./apps/" ++ AppName ++ "/ebin/" ++ atom_to_list(Beam),
    io:format("Beam file: ~s~n", [BinFilename]),
    {ok, {_, [{abstract_code, {_, AC}}]}} = beam_lib:chunks(BinFilename, [abstract_code]),
    SrcFilename = "./apps/" ++ AppName ++ "_" ++ atom_to_list(Beam),
    {ok, S} = file:open(SrcFilename ++ ".erl", write),
    io:fwrite(S, "~s~n", [erl_prettypr:format(erl_syntax:form_list(AC))]). 

Now type erlyweb_decompile(music, musician) under the Erlang shell, I get a file: music_musician.erl under folder myproject/apps/ (I put these decompiled source files under /myproject/apps/ to avoid that they are auto-compiled to beams by erlyweb again ):

-file("musician", 1).

-module(musician).

         Extras).

With this decompiled file, you get all things clearly behind the magic, such as, you have pair getter/setter functions for each field, for example:

Musician = musician:find({name, 'like' "Caoyuan Mus"}),
%% get the 'name' field of record Musician
Name = musician:name(Musician), 
%% set the 'name' field to "new name" and bind to a new record Musician1.
Musician1 = musician:name(Musician, "new name"),
%% Or,
Musician2 = musician:set_fields(Musician, {name, "new name"}, {birth_day, "1940/10/9"}),
%% then save one of them
musician:save(Musician2).

Finally, some notices for new comer to Erlang and Erlyweb:

  1. In Erlang, the Variable can only be bound(set value) once , so, only Musician1 and Musician2 have the "new name", Musician will keep the original value
  2. For efficiency reason, if the field is varchar/text type, the getter will return a binary rather than string, which can be printed on browser directly in Erlyweb, but, if you want to use it as a string, you can apply binary_to_list(Name) on it.
