Hi,
Current documentation has this to say about node's createChildren(carr)
argument
"an array of children where the structure of each child [c] takes the form:
c.name = a string containing the name of the child -- usually its
constructor
c.args = a dictionary of attributes and values to be passed to the
constructor of that child
c.children = an array of children for the new child"
None of this seems to be true.
Instead the children seems to have the structure:
c.attrs = a dictionary of attributes and values to be passed to the
constructor of that child
c.class = pointer to the class to be instantiated
When you further inspect the class there is one useful attribute:
tagname. That seems to have the same function as c.name in the above
mentioned documentation.
Further it seems that in the current trunk if you instantiate a class
with a constrained attribute like this
<view height="${foo.height}"/>
It's tagname becomes
"anonymous tagname"
Code:
<canvas debug="true">
<view >
<method name="createChildren" args="children"><![CDATA[
for(var i=0; i<children.length; i++) {
Debug.write(children[i]['class'].tagname);
}
]]></method>
<view height="${canvas.height}"/>
<view/>
</view>
</canvas>
Produces the output in debug window:
anonymous view
view
Is this how it is supposed to be?
Or is this an accident caused by the instance specific mixin development?
