Define For method in arm {} about farmer

[forki]

If you do For, then also please do If

[panesofglass]

Yes, you can call custom operations after a for method. This is how things like query expressions work. I’ve discussed it a bit here. Or I’ve misunderstood the question!

@panesofglass I've enjoyed your CE workshop, found earlier by random googling. Thank you!

[isaacabraham]

Doing this would also remove the need for add_resources.

[isaacabraham]

I don't know if this is possible though - calling custom operations within a For method.

[isaacabraham]

@panesofglass ok, good to know it's possible :-) Is there any example you can point me to? I don't even know what the signature of For should look like, let alone how to hook it into the CE and update the internal state.

[panesofglass]

Looks like you want an actual for loop, so you will need to do something like this, which requires additional members.

[panesofglass]

Iirc, supporting if just means you have to implement Delay, and possibly Combine. However, sometimes mixing standard members with custom operations requires you wrap each in its own expression.

[panesofglass]

Let me know if you want to pair on this or need help.

[isaacabraham]

Yes and yes :-) Maybe wednesday?

[panesofglass]

Doh! Looks like I missed the window. How about Friday morning? I'll be online early.

[isaacabraham]

Having chatted with @panesofglass, I don't think this will easily be possible. We could potentially yield within add_resources but I'm not sure what the use case or benefit that would justify the cost of doing this.

[panesofglass]

I may still try this again. There should be some solution that should work here, though it may not be as lovely as you'd like.

[et1975]

I don't see what value does it bring - generating resources outside of the CE is already possible, unless you somehow benefit from CE context (for example let! within if/for expression).

[isaacabraham]

I think the main benefit might be that we wouldn't need to create single and collection versions of keywords e.g. add_secret and add_secrets.
