Thanks for sharing this Edward! Thank you for your kind words about Flexx and PScript. And thanks for taking the time to write down your struggles. I'll try to boil it down to some points of action in Flexx/#516.
> Almar, please correct me if I am wrong about [using props like this]. Yes, you need to make properties for things that you want to make available from both Python and JS. Regular attributes work, but *only* withing Python or JS (depending on whether its a PyComponent or JsComponent). BTW, you can use flx.ComponentProp() for components. A pattern which I like is to define actions on a "central" PyComponent (I refer to this as the `store` in the docs, but it can be the root app) so that you have a single"entry point" for JS calling out to Python. You can do something similar for the JS side. But I don't know if this works well for your use-case. > Apparently, properties must be used to communicate even between different flx.Widgets. Or actions or events. Properties should be used to represent state. Actions are to "make stuff happen". Sometimes this can be a change in state. E.g by using the standard property setters. But actions don't have to mutate properties. Beware that actions are asynchronous; they don't apply the moment you call them (unless called from an action). This means that an action like x.delete_line() is better than taking all lines, deleting one, and setting the lines property again. Custom events are probably rare, but can be used for things that "happen" (e.g. some form of user input). > Both the CSS and the inline style honor the color settings, but not the width and height settings. This was answered already, but just to confirm: Flexx indeed overwrites these values. Any layout must be done using Flexx' layout classes. Also see e.g. the Widget.minsize and Widget.maxsize properties. > leoflexx.py is causing files to be downloaded. You can also use local assets (put the ace.js etc. in the repo and include that). Someone recently made an howto for that: https://flexx.readthedocs.io/en/stable/examples/local_assets_src.html#local-assets-py -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
