Hi, ClassListSelector could be ok, but think that depending on the components in both MDL and JEWEL the class selector names added/removed/toggled could go to positioner or to element. There's various examples of this in each library. We should not lost that capability since is key.
In order to bake in UIBase, my opinion is that devs will use this a lot in their apps, so for me I'm ok to have it. If it was an API partially used, I'd think about it, but actual JS development is so much focused in add/remove class selectors. I'll be waiting for the final touches thanks Alex for working on this, and sorry if I'm a bit focused but I think this point is important since in Royale we try to make easy things and encapsulate best practices and code, and this seems to me something that people will use in library APIs and in final Apps thanks 2018-04-16 10:18 GMT+02:00 Piotr Zarzycki <piotrzarzyck...@gmail.com>: > If I could decide - that class should be used as an util outside UIBase. > UIBase should be as much technology agnostic as we can.
