Hi Stephen,

You can look at the JSON Library extension that we ship with LiveCode 8 
as an example of an LCB library.  The source code is here on GitHub:


https://github.com/livecode/livecode/blob/develop/extensions/libraries/json/json.lcb

Basically, you declare the module as a "library" instead of a "widget".

All "public" handlers are then added to the LiveCode message path, after 
everything else.


That's it!

Peter

LCB library tutorials?

[Stephen MacLean]

Hi All,

Looking to see if anyone has put up a tutorial for making an LCB library 
extension?

I’ve been able to find Trevor Devore’s url_parser lib on github, but haven’t 
seen much else.

If no tutorials, can someone describe the differences that need to be changed 
from widget to library?

Thanks,

Steve MacLean
