user
07/27/2021, 12:34 PMOh, yeah I suppose there's a lot of work with that - b

That, turns into:haxe TestMacro.addBinding(slider2_B, "pos", slider1_B.pos / 2); TestMacro.addBinding(label1_B, "text", 'slider is ${slider1_B.pos} value and ${slider3_B.pos} and ${slider1_B.pos + 100 + slider3_B.pos}'); TestMacro.addBinding(label2_B, "text", 'slider is ${slider2_B.pos} value, and its max is ${slider2_B.max}'); TestMacro.addBinding(label3_B, "text", '(${label1_B.text}) x2 ${Math.round(slider1_B.pos)} -> ${Math.round(slider2_B.pos)} ... ... ${slider3_B.pos}'); - b

07/27/2021, 12:36 PMand i think i can clean it up a little more than that, but first i need to get it wired up from the xml rather than a macro you manually call - u

07/27/2021, 12:36 PMWe have bindings "for free" with coconut (and react for my other projects), it's a game changer - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/27/2021, 12:37 PMyeah, i think to coconut its much deeper too... - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/27/2021, 12:37 PMbut im not going to just remove the binding and go "use coconut", and its there at the moment, so should be converted over to non-hscript - u
user
07/27/2021, 12:38 PMIt only works with dependencies on components, right? - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/27/2021, 12:38 PMyeah, exactly... i think coconut is observable all the way - u
user
07/27/2021, 12:38 PMYeah, for better and worse x) - u
user
07/27/2021, 12:39 PMMostly for better I suppose, but sometimes it's annoying to adapt your data model to have everything be observable (or use hacks to ignore some fields) - b

07/27/2021, 12:39 PMloads and loads - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/27/2021, 12:40 PMobviously, i should have just gone down this route to start with, but the script stuff was added right at the very very beginning and so my macro understanding was still probably pretty weak at that point - u
user
07/27/2021, 12:41 PMhscript is really nice for this kind of use cases - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/27/2021, 12:41 PMhmmm, not sure i 100% agree anymore - u
user
07/27/2021, 12:41 PMI use it for a similar system on which xmls are 100% parsed at runtime - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/27/2021, 12:42 PMyeah, i mean, runtime its useful, and haxeui can defo create components from strings at runtime - u
user
07/27/2021, 12:42 PMhscript is a must-have there - u
user
07/27/2021, 12:42 PMDid you try to add live reload? - u
user
07/27/2021, 12:43 PM(just curious, I wouldn't be able to use it anyway..) - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/27/2021, 12:43 PMand so yeah, ill probably end up encapsulating the hscript stuff better and #if hscript it... but the MAJOR issue (for me - and i guess everyone) is a) runtime errors and b) DCE - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/27/2021, 12:43 PMnope - b
