Controlled activation of interdependent bindings

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising memory with executable computer instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a request to populate a graphic user interface with a view associated with a set of bindings each associated with a component property of a real-world physical component;
• determining an order to load the set of bindings to account for a startup lag caused by loading bindings and dependencies associated with the bindings by first loading bindings without dependencies and afterwards loading each dependent binding only after each binding on which the dependent binding depends has produced valid data, wherein the order further accounts for a detected binding dependency loop by randomly selecting an order in which bindings within the binding dependency loop are loaded;
• loading the set of bindings within the view based on the determined order;
• and
• while loading the set of bindings, monitoring configuration results from loaded bindings using a programmable logic controller physically coupled to the real-world physical component and configured to monitor and control one or more physical states associated with the real-world physical component, and delaying loading of a set of subsequent bindings until the monitored configuration results include successfully returned outputs detected by the programmable logic controller from all bindings on which the set of subsequent bindings depend.

A computing system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for detecting and blocking a pop-up loop, the instructions when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform steps including:
• receiving a request to populate a graphic user interface with a view associated with a set of bindings each associated with a component property of a real-world physical component;
• determining an order to load the set of bindings to account for a startup lag caused by loading bindings and dependencies associated with the bindings by first loading bindings without dependencies and afterwards loading each dependent binding only after each binding on which the dependent binding depends has produced valid data, wherein the order further accounts for a detected binding dependency loop by randomly selecting an order in which bindings within the binding dependency loop are loaded;
• loading the set of bindings within the view based on the determined order;
• and
• while loading the set of bindings, monitoring configuration results from loaded bindings using a programmable logic controller physically coupled to the real-world physical component and configured to monitor and control one or more physical states associated with the real-world physical component, and delaying loading of a set of subsequent bindings until the monitored configuration results include successfully returned outputs detected by the programmable logic controller from all bindings on which the set of subsequent bindings depend.
