Packaged qooxdoo.js

[vegansk]

Thank you for that project. Qooxdoo development is much easier with typescript.

Can you give some information about the building of qooxdoo.js lib? I can make similar package using source-hybrid goal from some application for example. But qx.registry.registerMainMethod is not a qooxdoo function. How this function works?

If you look at the file "Application.ts", you will see at the bottom the following line:

qx.registry.registerMainMethod(qooxdooMain);

You will observe, that it sits outside any class or function so that it will be executed when the transpiled Javascript is loaded. Just make sure the qooxdoo.js is loaded first.

The question is not when this function will be called. For example, I want to use qooxdoo mobile with typescript. In that case, I need qooxdoo.js with another implementation of qx.registry.registerMainMethod. So, the question is how to white the bootstrap similar to registerMainMethod.

Found the solution. Thanks to JSBeautify :-) Application.js:

var a = "__app",
      b = "__method",
      c = "base.Application";
qx.registry = {
    registerMainMethod: function(d) {
      qx.registry[b] = d;
      var e = qx.registry[a];
      if (e) d(e);
    },
    registerApp: function(f) {
      qx.registry[a] = f;
      var g = qx.registry[b];
      if (g) g(f);
    }
};

plus in main:

qx.registry.registerApp(this);
qx.ui.basic.Atom;
qx.ui.basic.Image;
qx.ui.basic.Label;
// And so on...

See you figured it out your self. But indeed there are two parts:

1. The registration method for the main. Done this so it makes no difference if you first load your own javascript of first load qooxdoo library.

qx.registry = {
    registerMainMethod : function(mainMethod) {
                qx.registry["__method"] = mainMethod;
        var app = qx.registry["__app"]; 
        if (app) mainMethod(app);
    },

    registerApp : function(app) {
        qx.registry["__app"] = app;
        var method = qx.registry["__method"];
        if (method) method(app); 
    }

};

2. Trick the compiler by including all the required classes. Please note that these are in a clause that will never be executed. Just so the qooxdoo tools put all these classes in the resulting javascript file.

var aaa = 12 * 32 / 5 + 4;
if (aaa===0) {
   qx.ui.basic.Atom;
   qx.ui.basic.Image;
   qx.ui.basic.Label;
   qx.ui.container.Composite;
...
}
