Suggestions / Re: FET as program library
Last post by Volker Dirr - November 16, 2025, 09:37:42 AMI guess the "best" variant for this is using a REST api. But I fear both (your and also my idea) will be very difficult, since you don't need to write only the api, you also need to care that fet will run all request on the same time. So internally it must be able to generate 2 and more different timetables at the same time. I fear timetabling is much too difficult for this, since it is not a "static" database. The generating part is highly dynamic and all guys want to start and stop their own generating at the same time.

Last post by Liviu Lalescu - November 16, 2025, 07:39:16 AMDear Michael,
Indeed, lack of financial support is the big problem. Also, I don't have much knowledge with these (I don't even know what "callbacks" mean), but I would be willing to learn and collaborate.
But I will add your words in the TODO list.

At the design stages, I just did not consider these as necessary. But I will add your suggestions in the TODO, thank you!

Suggestions / FET as program library
Last post by gradgrind - November 16, 2025, 06:39:30 AMOK, while I'm making suggestions ...
I guess this one might be quite a bit more work (so I could understand you wanting sponsorship for something like this), but I think it might be a good idea for those cold, dark winter days ...
My suggestion is to make a library version of FET, rather like the command-line version, but interfacing via some communication mechanism (callbacks, messaging, whatever, ...). Or it could be an HTML server, using JSON messages for example ...
Anyway, this FET version would create no files, but pass all generated data and progress information back to the client, which could do with it whatever it wanted. Control of the processes, setting of options, etc., would be done by messages from the client.

Last post by gradgrind - November 16, 2025, 06:18:43 AMHello Liviu,
Having done some work on interfacing FET with other software, it seems to me that it might be useful in some cases to have Code and Comments fields on more elements.
The current state seems to be:
Day and Hour elements have neither Comments nor Code.
Activity elements have no Code.
Constraint elements have no Code – and also no unique identifier like Id or Name.
You probably had reasons for your choices, but if it is not too much work, perhaps it might be helpful to some people if these fields were also available on these elements (I may have missed something ...).
Best regards,
Michael
