ah I was trying to use aliasing, the guide still mentions you can do it at the end

ah, aliasing is gone

the way haxeui finds components now is totally different so aliasing wasnt feasible anymore

if you really need to use aliasing, you can just create a copy of the component with a different name

class MyAlias extends MyComponent

so if I use module.xml and point it to a class

MyCustom

in

MyCustom.hx

, do I use

<import resource="path/to/MyCustom.xml" />

or

<mycustom />

?

just

<mycustom />

haxeui will resolve the classes and when its building code

<mycustom/>

will resolve to

my.component.pkg.MyCustom

(or whatever it is)

(fyi, the just imports one xml file into another, nothing to do with custom components really)

I'm trying the module.xml bit and getting this error when trying to use it in a different XML layout:

source/editor/EditorState.hx:1231: characters 1-8 : Warning : no class found for component: tiletoolbar
/home/matt/.local/share/haxe/lib/haxeui-core/git/haxe/ui/macros/ComponentMacros.hx:289: characters 70-83 : Unknown identifier : c4
/home/matt/.local/share/haxe/lib/haxeui-core/git/haxe/ui/macros/ComponentMacros.hx:289: characters 70-83 : ... For function argument 'child'
source/editor/EditorState.hx:1232: lines 1232-1238 : ... Defined in this class

does it still need a

TileToolbar

class defined somewhere?

can i see your module.xml? Also, where is your module.xml? On the classpath?

well, yeah, i mean, what is tiletoolbar?

module.xml:

xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module>
    <components>
        <component file="assets/ui/custom/tile-toolbar.xml" />
        <!-- alternative method for entire package (without aliases)
        <component folder="custom" />
        -->
    </components>
</module>

it will certainly need to resolve to a component for haxeui to know what it is

oh, ok, so you are using the "classless" method

could be a bug

ah yeah sorry, seemed like the easier way to manage over time

can you remove the hypen from the .xml file just to see if thats the issue

nope, still same error without the hyphen

right, feels like a bug

tiletoolbar.xml

is just this:

xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<hbox id="tileRow" width="100%" horizontalAlign="center">
    <button height="32px" icon="assets/images/player1_preview.png" />
    <button height="32px" icon="assets/images/player2_preview.png" />
</hbox>

i havent played with the "create a class from xml file" in a bit... maybe i broke it at some point

it all seems valid... where is your module.xml file located?

is it on a classpath of your project? Ie, probably not your root dir, but like src or something

I put it in

src

in my flixel project

right, should be fine then

feels like a bug in the "file" stuff

bear with me, ill have a play

cheers, thought I was doing it wrong for half of last night 😌

seems fine by what you pasted, just trying it out myself
