  • q
    Wish everything I did was simple and straightforward. At least this time it's because I'm not great at JS XD
  • m
    Would be neat if you defined a new format, say "hcss", and then having support for highlighting that in VSCode 😄
  • m
    Obviously it's no so bad to just use css and ignore things like: Unknown property: 'background-opacity'
  • m
    Is it possible to do something like?
    Copy code
    xml
<import ".../header.xml" />
...
<import ".../footer.xml" />
  • m
    I've tried, but it's not compiling and I'm having a hard time figuring out where the problem is
  • b
    that doesnt look like valid xml
  • b
    Copy code
    xml
<vbox>
    <import ".../header.xml" />
    ...
    <import ".../footer.xml" />
</vbox>
  • b
    also not sure if "..." (triple) is intended or just a typo in the eg here?
  • m
    this "..." was just an example of a path
  • m
    So even if the imported xml starts with a VBox component, I should still add a wrapping VBox container component outside?
  • m
    The idea here is for header to open some components, say:
    Copy code
    xml
<box>
  <vbox>
    and then footer close them so I can have content in between
    Copy code
    xml
  </vbox>
</box>
  • m
    Does that make sense?
  • m
    Basically like one would work in html IIRC
  • b
    yeah, thats not how it works... its all xml, so the xml from the import is loaded (as xml) and the node replaces the node
  • m
    Ah I see, you resolve them separately...
  • m
    In other words I can't do what I'm attempting
  • m
    No problem, I can work around that
  • u
    I'm pretty sure that this is not a feature of HTML Maybe of some generator, but base HTML does not have any include features IIRC
  • m
    Sure, I mean, it's a feature of the language that will generate the final html
  • m
    Just as haxe-ui will process xml and turn it into something renderable in the end of the day, so not that different I guess
  • m
    I guess I see your point though, you mean it's not expressed at html level. Makes sense.

    Does anyone use haxe ui with heaps? They say it is also possible to add components directly to any Heaps s2d object, but I couldn't do it. I use addChild and it does nothing.
  • p
    There are some issues with haxeui-heaps, and I believe Ian is planning to overhaul it at some point in the not too far away future.
  • f
    ok
  • b
    Yeah, ill need a few day to finalise the changes ive made so far, seems strange that you see nothing though... can you share your test project so i can see?
  • f
    heaps
  • b
    ok, so you need to add a "mainView.ready()" and it should work, this shouldnt be needed, but in the current version you have it will be needed
  • b
    ... i wonder if some other things will break for you
  • b
    actually, nvm, the rest of your Main.hx looks fine
  • f
    thanks, now it works
