provide a way for DP to communicate with the client outside of presentation models

Open blackdrag opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Right now DP provides one-way communication for a client to talk with the server with dolphin actions. But the server has only presentation models to communicate with the client. What is missing is a communication way outside of the presentation models.

Example: Let us assume I do have to load a list which will take 10 minutes of loading time on the server. Of course I do want to inform the user when all the data is finally available. I may want to do this independent of what is displayed at the current time. Which means I would have a presentation model for something that is not being displayed. Which means I have to misuse presentation models. Thus it would be nice to have a more general system, maybe with events, to send information from the server to the client. Especially for delayed actions and notifications.
