# haxe-ui
  • b
    something like that?
  • b
    thats really old now, i had a newer one somewhere, but lost as part of SSD nonsense
  • b
    i think there is something on twitter somewhere, but will have to have a dig
  • o
    that kind of tells me more of how cross platform haxe works than haxeui?
  • o
    You don't have to cover all of haxe, keep that minimal there are other places for users to find that.
  • b
    if you get 5 mins maybe can sketch out what you mean exactly - or point in the direction of what you mean - what im failing to "get" is what type of diagram can show how haxeui works...
  • o
    How would you explain how the abstract render and layout of modules / components works and the user input and control.
  • o
    so what is important in how a visual module is laid, what common aspects do they have
  • o
    give the user an insight into the internals and some idea of how they are controlled.
  • o
    I can't sketch it because I have looked before but not really understanding.
  • o
    But I think if you can get accross how the design works and how you can approach it. So somewhere between concrete and abstract. The drawing about is purely abstract it tells me nothing about the render flow, the layout flow or the real use flow.
  • o
    the drawing above is...
  • o
    sorry typo
  • o
    Is that make more sense.
  • o
    At moment I don't have a perspective on how haxeui approaches the problems it solves, I think providing that perspective will help users understand more around it's use.
  • o
    Maybe just think about which classes are crucial and how they relate to the end goal. Ofcourse I don't think away3d ever explained how the internals worked but they just explained the structures needed to get it working so it can depend.

    happens with this line when I try to push a plain button into the component list
    Copy code
    app.addComponent(button);
  • u
    are you using the new-component-method branch of haxeui or the haxelib version ?
  • m
    the git version @User
  • m
    I'm looking at the component example to learn how to create a haxeui project within openfl
  • b
    Sorry, didnt see this
  • b
    So you are using "new-component-method" branch? with which version of haxe?
  • b
    fyi, Component (in haxeui-openfl) is extended from Sprite, so, you can create a UI in various ways, but the easiest, is just:
  • b
    Copy code
    haxe
Toolkit.init();
var button = new Button();
button.text = "Test";
stage.addChild(button);
  • b
    (assuming you wanted to add a UI to an existing app)

    Also, what's the best place to look into for getting started? If there is one...
  • b
    i think, as far as getting started guides there is little to nothing... :( Im writing docs, so i guess this would be an ideal time to as what you would look for in a getting started guide... there is this: http://haxeui.org/guide/start.html But its unfinished and doesnt really convey alot of information... when you are looking to start using any framework and looking for a guide to start, what sort of things would expect from that guide? (Im awful and writing documentation, so any help here is always useful / welcome)
  • b
    "I'm awful and writing documentation" - well, at least you're writing documentation 😉
