Hi,
I'm trying to get my head into the "named object" space. I was looking at the container example for a way in and now I'm stuck (again).
nx::Class create SimpleContainer { :property {memberClass ::MyItem} :property {prefix member}
# Require the method "autoname" for generating nice names :require method autoname
# The method new is responsible for creating a child of the current # container. :public method new {args} { set item [${:memberClass} create [:]::[:autoname ${:prefix}] {*}$args] } }
What does the ":require method autoname" do?
I think I understand what [:autoname ${:prefix}] is/does but what on earth is "[:]::[:autoname ${:prefix}]" ?
