-App Builder
-
-This is a Seed based application builder.. - currently basically a prototype..
-
-
-The idea is that it can build applications both web based (using roojs) and Desktop based using Gtk
-and the gobject introspection bindings.
-
-It's kind of like Glade on steroids..
-
-----------------------------------------------------
-Usage:
-
-seed gtkrun.js Builder
-
--> create a project
--> add a folder to the project
--> add a file to the project..
-Files are JSON data files at present..
-
------------------------------------------------------
-Where it is..
-
-* basic builder app runs - you can build a tree of elements making up a interface for roo and gtk.
-* listeners are created correctly.
-* listeners with gtk prototypes
-* Gtk properties that are enums - now show a combo selector..
-* application is used to write itself...
-* Projects can be created and deleted (basically a directory)
-* sourceview to uses spaces rather than tabs. (and autoindents..)
-* Help view - load docs..
-* highlight in gtk preview - works but is klunky..
-* Support for extra code in Roo HTML is done by "Set extra HTML in rendere"
-
-
------------------------------------------------------
-INSTALL
-GTK3
-
-git clone git://github.com/roojs/app.Builder.js.git
-cd app.Builder.js
-git clone git://github.com/roojs/gir-1.2-gtk-3.4.git gir-1.2
-cd gir-1.2
-sh install-girs.sh
-** This file may need running as root if sudo fails..
-cd ..
-
-seed gtkrun.js Builder3
-
-
-
------------------------------------------------------
-
-TODO (Gtk)
-* Tables are not rendering first time round..
-* Dialog buttons - need special rendering on preview.
-* Icon-size (should be an enum...??)
-* (Image|....??? ).stock - should be a list of stock icons..
-* fix pulldowns for types.. - it's a bit hap hazard with the delayed / loading of settings.
-* packing - gather from methods to find out which match.. (including false)
-* adding a file does not display on project tree straight awya..
-* templates for elements... - eg. defaults for classic elements.
-* sort out add heirachy for Gtk..
-* Project Tree needs to work perhaps like a left hand popout.
-* make heirachy editor...
-* new file = should specify type (eg. gtk window etc..)
-* Help view - next/back.. url?
------------------------------------------------------
-
-TODO (Roo)
-* file properties - title, parent etc..
-
------------------------------------------------------
-
-Thoughts...
-* Widget definition files.. (to replace our 'Usage.txt' files)
--> defaults { ... }
--> onAdd(name_of_parent, cfg) { modifies defaults.. }
--> validParents : [ .... ]
--> validChildren???: [ .... ]
-
-* how to handle stuff like GtkTable.. -
- - needs cols,rows in constructor.
- - child properties do not appear to work? -- investigate?
-
-* XObject - Use Buildable interface???
-
-* Preview area - use glade widgets?
-
------------------------------------------------------
-Concepts
-
-Basically both Roo and JS are built using a tree of elements (tagged with xtype/xns)
-sub elements always go in the items array..
-we have some special properties of elements, eg.
-
-*prop (a property of the parent)
-xtype (element type) eg. Window / Button etc..
-|xns (namespace) = eg. Gtk/Roo etc.
-
-|**** anything starting with a pipe is raw data field rather than quoted..
-
-
-each element can have a property listeners which is where the listeners go...
