Hi,
I'm playing with a js markdown library [1] to see if is an option to make a
Royale website that load markdown and render it (I'm experimenting to see
if we can't remove wordpress from our website and make a web based on
markdown similar to royale-docs)
I'm having problems trying to create the extern as3 file. I'm trying
something similar to what we did with hljs. Here's my try:
package
{
/**
* marked js library
*/
COMPILE::JS
public class marked
{
/**
*
* <inject_html>
* <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/marked/marked.min.js";></script>
* </inject_html>
*
* @royaleignorecoercion String
*/
public function marked(s:String):String {};
/**
* configure marked with options
*/
public function setOptions(o:Object):void {};
}
}
The problem is
public function marked(s:String):String {};
since the library gets a String and returns a String, but AS3 constructors
must be void
I remember Josh posted alternative ways to create this kind of AS3 stubs,
but he posted in a paste apache that is now gone.
Anyway would be good to know if this is a limitation of AS3 language and we
can't create this kind of AS3 classes that model a JS library with
constructors that return something like a string.
Thanks
