    Widget library

    techdojotechdojo Guru
    edited March 2013 in Code snippets
    Some of you may have noticed, that "the other sdk" has just released a new improved widget library, and in doing so has decided to make their old v1 widget library open source so that any existing developers who still need that support can still use it.

    https://github.com/coronalabs/widget-v1

    The code isn't the best example of Lua in the world, but... if anyone who is interested in writing more "business" type apps might be able to make use of it (or at least learn from it) to help them create their own widget library.

      Hmm, for some reason I've expected it to be native widget library.

      One of the interesting things I've found is these error messages through out the code:
      if not self then print( "WARNING: The correct way to call method is with a ':' not a '.'" ); return; end
      Really thoughtful and helpful

      @ar2rsawseen But if the function accepts any parameter, this check is useless:
      myObject.setX(10) --> here self is 10 and therefore it doesn't print any warnings
      But it can be improved by:
      if type(self) ~= "table" and type(self) ~= "userdata" then error("...") end
      But I like the idea :)

      From Github

      "We should warn you that this code is very spaghetti-like. It's not clean and is highly unmaintainable"

      Hmm, I wonder what the *rest* of the Corona source code looks like...?

      I was interested mainly to see how the "picker" widget was implemented.
      Still looks like there's lot to be learnt (even if it's how not to do it!)

      Very cool, now if I can find the time to dig through some spaghetti code for the tidbits that matter :)

      I'm new to Gideros.
      Other than this corona widget library, are there standard Gideros widgets available?
      One thing I want to build is something which allows editing data using widgets. Ideally a set of classes/functions/api which allows creating something akin to the android setup screens (Allowing textboxes, dropdowns, radio buttons, etc). Does anything exist like this in Gideros?
