Dawn 6.0, Ideas, Plans, and To-dos

[Hawmex]

Hi everyone!

It seems like Dawn is getting more impressions lately.

Generally, as of Dawn 5.6, I'm happy with Dawn's foundation, widgets, animations, CLI, and source code readability.

To-dos

Some things need to be addressed:

dawn.animation

This library looks good IMO.

dawn.foundation

• Implement strongly-typed styles
• Implement safer event listeners via PaintedNode.addEventSubscription API.

dawn.widgets

• Implement Video
• Implement Input
• Implement full extensibility via SingleChildNode, MultiChildNode, ChildlessPaintedNode, SingleChildPaintedNode, and MultiChildPaintedNode. Users can now fully implement their own widgets like Input, Video, etc.

dawn

• Add documentation to the public API
• Rewrite and improve the CLI by refactoring the dawn create command and removing the dawn compile command.

Dawn's Website

• Update the color scheme according to Dawn's new logo.
• Serve markdown content.

We can have a button widget. Just like the native web Button but it can have section properties as here

Dawn's intention is to provide minimal, unstyled, and essential widgets. Thus, Video and Input widgets have to be added. More design-specific widgets can be published as separate packages.

Button implemented for Dawn's website

Basic example:

class Button extends StatelessWidget {
  final String value;
  final EventListener? onTap;

  const Button(this.value, {this.onTap, super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(final BuildContext context) {
     return Text(
       value,
       onTap: onTap,
       style: Style({
         'padding': '4px 8px',
         'background': 'grey',
         'cursor': 'pointer',
       }),
     );
  }
}

This is tailwind css used directly in the framework. It has many advantages such as building UI at a higher speed

It looks great. You can add a pull request for your implementation with some code examples.

I guess a lot of improvement has been made, I have been busy with other things but I will look into the update @Hawmex

Thanks @rexthecoder; Honestly, I hadn't been doing things professionally in this repo since the start. I had thought of it as a hobby and a personal project. I really tried to put things together professionally for Dawn 6. The main new APIs besides the tasks of this issue are SingleChildNode, MultiChildNode, ChildlessPaintedNode, SingleChildPaintedNode, and MultiChildPaintedNode.
