Re: Last few problems converting browser project to JS

[doug777]

Oh yes of course, silly me. I've actually used this method to replace missing
parameters like 'data' in lots of other places in the app.

Many thanks for all your help.

Good idea.

I’ll try to do that…

Re: Last few problems converting browser project to JS

It would be great to identify a bead from this pattern so others can just
drop a bead in their code instead of having to add a parameter and use
bracket access.

I forgot that EscapedFragmentBead extends URLParameterBead.  The
URLParameter bead currently just returns the entire query string, but some
other API could have it generate a ValueObject which would prevent naming
problems or have a query API like getParameter that would force you to use
string IDs that wouldn't be renamed.

We want to try to package just about any solution as a bead so others
don't have to repeat the same set of steps.

My 2 cents,

Re: Last few problems converting browser project to JS

[Harbs]

Just add the following to your main class:

public var parameters:Object;

Also: Make sure you use bracket access (i.e. this.parameters[“anything”] 
instead of this.parameters.anything) to the parameters var to prevent renaming 
problems when it’s minified.

HTH,
Harbs

Here’s how I do it:

I have the following markup in the html template I’m using for my app:

My main application class has a parameter setter which does the “right” thing 
with the parameters (very similar to how it works in Flex).


  
function queryURL() {
  // This function is anonymous, is executed immediately and 
  // the return value is assigned to QueryString!
  var query_string = {};
  var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
  if(!query){return {};}
  var vars = query.split("&");
  for (var i=0;i

It reads well in the application I think which counts for something, I’m sure 
there are many other ways of doing the same thing.

That code was written in the FLexJS days so there may be a better way to do it. 
I recall playing with the html-template compiler option but I couldn't get it 
to do what I wanted but can’t recall why. Is it supported in maven?

Thanks,
Justin

Re: Last few problems converting browser project to JS

[Alex Harui]

It will work, but IMO it is a bit of a hack.  No real need to add a class
to your app just to inject HTML in your app.  That's why we have the
-html-template compiler option.  Normally inject_html is used to inject
HTML needed to operate the rest of the code in the class.

Not sure it makes sense to subclass BeadViewBase either since it isn't a
View.

My 2 cents,
-Alex

Cool! I just wanted to have clarification. Maybe Royale JS only ;) Not
sure. I'm really happy that you were able to goes so far and you are using
Moonshine. :)

Thanks, Piotr

Re: Last few problems converting browser project to JS

[doug777]

Hi Piotr,

I hope I can do that but I think I'm still some way from finishing. Although
I've been testing snippets as I've gone along, I'm pretty sure there will
still be lots of problems once it all has to work together. But I can't test
that till I can get the whole thing to compile.

But having got this far I am very confident that it will all work
eventually. I'm really keen to see how close it will be in looks and
functions to the original Flex project.

And I have to say how much I'm enjoying doing it all in Moonshine. It's
still a little bit buggy, but I love using it and it keeps getting better
and better. Really hope to see version 1.10 soon!!

Doug

Hi,

Sorry this bounced, so my emails will be out of order, trying again.

> Re EmbedFont : Actually it's not that important. We use it to get special

In that case something like this may work:


  

   
   
   
...

In fonts/Catamara.as

package fonts {
import org.apache.flex.core.BeadViewBase;

public class Catamaran extends BeadViewBase {
/**
 *  
 *  https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Catamaran:400,500,600,700;>
 *  
 */
public function Catamaran() {
   super();
   }
}
}

Thanks,
Justin

Hi Doug,

Great to hear that! Once you finished and if it will be possible share with
us link, screens etc. Maybe we can place it somewhere as a great news. :)

Thanks,
Piotr
