Let's change the AeroGear Twitter account handle
by Hylke Bons
"@AeroGears" can cause confusion about what the project name really is.
Options to fix:
- Ask the owner of @AeroGear if he or she want to give up the handle
- Change the handle to "@AeroGearTeam" or "@AeroGearProject", or
something else
Thoughts?

Mutable vs Immutable for AGMemoryStore and AGPropertyStore
by Corinne Krych
Hello Guys,
Using AGPropertyListStorage in Xmas app [1], I run into this interesting issue:
In the app I retrieve a NSArray of NSMutableDictionary, I get a mutable copy of the NSArray and I save encrypted data in it.
I decrypt some of the data in memory BUT I actually don't want those to be saved decrypted into permanent storage.
And then let's say I add some more data with encrypted value then I save this dato to my AGProperListStorage. Just this one.
But surprise, if I look in my permenet …
[View More]storage, I see my newly data encrypted but the other data I ecrypted in memory were saved decrypted.
What happened?
In one word: shallow mutable copy of NSArray.
My mutable array still point to original MSMutableDictionary and when saving one data to permanent storage the all memory is dumped into plist resulting in decrypted value to be stored.
How did I fixed it?
Using deep mutable copy see in [2].
In AGMemoryStorage (and its inherited AGPropertyListStorage) we use NSMutableDictionary because you can save item (represented as Key/Value with NSMutableDictionary) without id, the store will take care of generating this id and assign it back into the item.
Even the AGMemoryStorage which returns a NSArray of NSMutableDictionary is misleading because you can actually do
NSArray myArray = [store reallAll]
and then modify the contain of the memory storage without using save.
That experience brings the topic whether it's a good pratice to use mutable object
Options
- option1: stick to immutable objects whithin the AGStore and let the save method return an immutable NSDictinary containing the item
- option2: leave it as it is, responsability of user to do deep copy
- others ?
Personal Preference go for option1 which I found less confusing.

Fwd: Website restructure
by Erik Jan de Wit
Hi,
What I get from this thread is that we like the colour section idea, but we don’t want to re structure the entire site. So what we need to discuss is how are we going to use these sections if we don’t restructure. What I like about them is that it emphasises that our API’s are similar for all platforms and that we only have one document explaining for instance what pipes are. But the menu, doesn’t fit into this new colour scheme, so we need some decisions about how we are going to move …
[View More]forward.
Based on the work Corinne did with the introduction of sass I’ve had a go at implementing a bit what Hylke proposed, have a look at my sass branch https://github.com/edewit/aerogear.org/tree/saas and the page I’ve updated http://localhost:4000/docs/guides/aerogear-android/AerogearAndroidPipes101/ to be in section layout. Don’t look at the header and footer as I haven’t changed those.
There are a couple of things that I don’t like about the current implementation, to enable the code blocks I’ve added some html into the asciidoc and some jquery magic in the layout. Maybe we could make this better by chaining the rendering/backend or by introducing some sort of plugin into asciidoc? Other then that, I’m sure Hylke sees a lot of things that are still off, but it’s a start.
What do you think?
Cheers,
Erik Jan

bower repos for custom builds
by Lucas Holmquist
so i created this JIRA https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AGJS-133
It would kind of neat if we offered some custom builds in bower,
this way it could make it super easy for someone to pull in just data manager for example
$ bower install aerogear-datamanager
each "custom" build would be in it's own repo, but they don;t have to be "aerogear" repos, similar to how the bower ember repo isn't actually an ember official repo
wdyt?
would be somewhat easier to get "new" features out without …
