07/24/2021, 9:27 PMdoes that lib work without a browser? - u
user
07/24/2021, 9:28 PMNah but I could map something like that to haxeui's css - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/24/2021, 9:28 PMi mean, are you leveraging the browsers css? - u
user
07/24/2021, 9:28 PMThis lib is generating a plain css file - u
user
07/24/2021, 9:28 PMWith classes that are injected in my components - u
user
07/24/2021, 9:29 PMit's like css-in-js, but 100% compile time - b

07/24/2021, 9:29 PM... ... interesting - u
user
07/24/2021, 9:31 PMHow do I get access to DefaultLayout.repositionChildren() from a Box instance? (I'll have to use @:privateAccess but I don't have direct access to this method) - u
user
07/24/2021, 9:31 PMAssuming that's the correct one for Box.. - u
user
07/24/2021, 9:31 PM...
, right? x).layout - u
user
07/24/2021, 9:34 PMHmm I tried to do
(and some other stuff) after my UI is ready, but padding still isn't appliedbox.layout.refresh() - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/24/2021, 9:36 PMyou shouldnt ever need to refresh the layout directly - u
user
07/24/2021, 9:36 PMbox.style.padding == null, box.customStyle.padding == 10 - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/24/2021, 9:37 PMinvalidate the layout, sure, but not refresh it - u
user
07/24/2021, 9:39 PMIt's not a good sign that style.padding doesn't get the value from customStyle.padding, right? - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/24/2021, 9:41 PMit doesnt make alot of sense, but it depends when you are querying it... in reality ".style" should be a private field named ".computedStyle" - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/24/2021, 9:42 PMand if you set a custom style and then instantly read it, it likely isnt going to be reflected in .style because of the invalidation sequence - u
user
07/24/2021, 9:44 PM
?comp._style - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/24/2021, 9:44 PMthats just the var for the getter / setter - u
user
07/24/2021, 9:45 PMI see nocomputedStyle - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/24/2021, 9:45 PMthere isnt one, what im saying is that .style should be called .computedStyle and .customStyle should be called .style - u
user
07/24/2021, 9:46 PMOh ok So yeah, style.padding should get the value.. - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/24/2021, 9:46 PMyeah, assuming a validation sequence has happened - u
user
07/24/2021, 9:47 PMShould be, unless customStyle is applied way later than what I thought - u
user
07/24/2021, 9:47 PM.. uh, it happens when component is already "ready", seems to be late - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/24/2021, 9:47 PMthings dont invalidate in haxeui on a timer tick, they happen in an invalidation queue - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/24/2021, 9:49 PMjust ignore .style, its internal, its (essentially) read only (for the user) - u
user
07/24/2021, 9:49 PMYeah that's exactly what I want to do: read it x) - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/24/2021, 9:50 PMbut that also doesnt make sense, if you set a style property on a custom style, then its invalidated - then the invalidation cycle kicks in, then you will likely have the correct value - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/24/2021, 9:50 PMbut there is no reason for you to be reading from .style in the first place... its a naming mistake and an access mistake
