Add more flexibility to array_model when using BindItems and BindRepeat

Problems:
Filtering array_model
Often you have an array of items but you don't want to show them all in the GUI...
BindItems and BindRepeat currently show the entire array of items, requiring a 'shadow model' that only has the visible items inside.
Dynamic array_model
Sometimes your array_model needs to be generated dynamically. For example it may be composed of array_a + array_b
to generate array_ab
. This requires extra glue function in your Component to generate the extra array_ab
model that needs to get updated any time array_a
or array_b
is modified.
Proposal:
Allow the ()
suffix to call a Callable when specifying the array_model
property of BindItems
and BindRepeat
classes.
E.G.: array_model
= array_ab()
array_ab
should be aCallable
on theowner
that takes no arguments.- Calls to this callable should be tracked. If
new_result.hash() == old_result.hash()
then returnold_result
to prevent extra change detection.
