Haxe

oh isn't this the x window system thing icon

yeah the deleting the build files was the trick for that error

hard to say really... there is the hello world on haxeui.org

```haxe
@:build(haxe.ui.ComponentBuilder.build("assets/main-view.xml"))
class MainView extends VBox {
    public function new() {
        super();
        button1.onClick = function(e) {
            button1.text = "Thanks!";
        }
    }
    
    @:bind(button2, MouseEvent.CLICK)
    private function onMyButton(e:MouseEvent) {
        button2.text = "Thanks!";
    }
}
```

bruh I should deal with @build and @bind <:blobsad:964199767787860028>

@:bind is haxeui specific, @:build is a haxe thing

so that's a constant in a haxeui application, I just code normally without messing with them?

@:bind just registers event listeners for you, its mainly just to keep things clean...

Someone made Rust bindings for libclang, so I went down the rabbit hole and AppKit bindings are coming whenever I find the time to finish this.

wow, that could be super nice, will have to play with this when / if it becomes usable

Ok, so the final question is what's the diff between

 `app.addComponent(new MainView());`
&
`var mainView:Component = ComponentMacros.buildComponent("assets/main-view.xml");
    app.addComponent(mainView);`

when you transitioned to the add more components section in HelloWorld, that's what confuses me

so they are just different methods of doing similar things... ...

ComponentMacros.buildComponent takes an xml file and creates a bunch of haxe code from it and puts "in situ"... the @:build method _kinda_ does the same thing (except it adds it to the constructor) but it also does a bunch of other things

(like @:bind stuff, and creating member variables, etc)
