dojo.hitch documentation is missing

[Adam Peller]

http://dojotoolkit.org/api/dojo/hitch leads to an error

[Adam Peller]

could this have something to do with the vararg syntax in the docs {/*,...*/}? ttrenka, are there any errors showing up?

[Tom Trenka]

Um, dojo.hitch shows up just fine--but you'll find it under the dojo object itself (since it is a method of dojo):

http://dojotoolkit.org/api/1.5/dojo

(look in the methods summary list and click on it).

I agree that this may not seem the most intuitive and may be something to add in later on as an additional feature, but the *only* things that are addressable by URL at this point are actual objects. Then again, there are cases (dojo.query comes to mind) where it *seems* like it's just a method but the doc parser system sees it as an object; in that particular case, it is because there is a "_psuedos" property attached directly to the function.

I've been confused by this too, or rather, confused that functions like dojo.hitch() don't show up in the tree on the left. Perhaps we should change this to an enhancement request to make everything accessible by URL and from the tree on the left?

Either that or close the ticket as invalid?

[Tom Trenka]

Actually, this doesn't lead to an error anymore; I set some things up so that if I'm not finding the actual object initially I go digging in fields, and try to scroll to it if I find it. So I'll close the ticket as fixed.

As far as the tree is concerned, I would call it "wontfix" because the overhead of the tree is huge as it is, and I'm already not including any private objects in it. Current tree data weighs in at something like 350K; I would really hate to push it any further.

I see you are downloading all the tree data up front, rather than on opening each node, which would be better.... still, it's only 35K, not 350K.
