Royale libraries with JS only
Hi,
I was surprised today that I found that I can compile a library (SWC-JS)
with the pure JS version of the framework.
I thought that I needed the SWF+JS version to be able to do that.
That's a great surprise and usefull to split and reuse comum parts of the
code.
Since a SWC it's a zip file, what's thw reason to use the library.swf
inside of the file ?
I guess that the catalog.xml it's used by IDE (on my case VS Code) ?
Why not call the file something different like JSL (Java Script Library) or
ARL (Apache Royale Library) ?
I see that I can easly debug the library with VS Code (that it's expanded
on the application project) but I'm debuging you JS only that's not bad but
would be great if we can debug the AS3/MXML files => Perhaps a new
asconfig.json variable to build with the necessary metadata as source files
to debug.
Regards,
Hugo.

How do you launch the build?
This would be an example of a build task with asconfigc including the path to the sdk (tasks.json)
{
"label": "build with asconfigc",
"type": "shell",
"command": "asconfigc",
"args": [
"--sdk=${config:as3mxml.sdk.framework}"
],
"presentation": {
"echo": true,
"reveal": "always",
"focus": true,
"panel": "dedicated"
},
"problemMatcher": [
"$nextgenas_nomatch"
],
"group": "build"
}

Hugo,
Can't debug, can you share your asconfig.json?
Do you have debug=true & sourcemap options?
Look, this is the asonfig.json of the example project I have published:

That's make sense, because the IDE know where to grab the original source
code.
I'm splitting now a project and I will test but for your example I'm
confident that will work :)

We are missing something because I can...
Do you have a main project with one asconfig and the library with another asconfig?
In the asconfig of the main project you have to put all the paths where the code can be found in the conditional compile option "source-path".
Ex:
{
"config": "royale",
"compilerOptions": {
"debug": true,
"targets": ["JSRoyale"],
"html-template": "src/main/resources/royale-echarts-examples-template.html",
"source-path": [
"src/main/royale",
"../royale-echarts/src/main/royale/" <--- *********** physical route to the library ****************
],
"namespace": [
{
"uri": "library://ns.apache.org/royale/community/echarts",
"manifest": "../royale-echarts/src/main/resources/echarts-manifest.xml"
}
],
"library-path": [
"${royalelib}/libs/MXRoyaleBase.swc"
],
"js-library-path": [
"${royalelib}/js/libs/MXRoyaleBaseJS.swc"
],
"define": [
{
"name": "BUILD::buildNumber",
"value": "'buildNumber'"
},
{
"name": "BUILD::buildVersion",
"value": "'project.version'"
}
],
"source-map": true
},
"files":
[
"src/main/royale/App.mxml"
]
}

Yes, I can debug with VS Code, however the library (code in SWC) is open in
JS files and not the AS source code.
It's not a huge issue, because the similarities between JS and AS.

Asunto: Royale libraries with JS only
Hi,
I was surprised today that I found that I can compile a library (SWC-JS) with the pure JS version of the framework.
I thought that I needed the SWF+JS version to be able to do that.
That's a great surprise and usefull to split and reuse comum parts of the code.
Since a SWC it's a zip file, what's thw reason to use the library.swf inside of the file ?
I guess that the catalog.xml it's used by IDE (on my case VS Code) ?
Why not call the file something different like JSL (Java Script Library) or ARL (Apache Royale Library) ?
I see that I can easly debug the library with VS Code (that it's expanded on the application project) but I'm debuging you JS only that's not bad but would be great if we can debug the AS3/MXML files => Perhaps a new asconfig.json variable to build with the necessary metadata as source files to debug.
Regards,
Hugo.

Our compiler can read/understand the bytecode in the SWF file format, and
this process does not rely on Flash Player in any way, so there will be no
issues in the future.
I don't know the purpose of catalog.xml. I assume the compiler uses it in
some way, but I've never had a reason to investigate that file specifically.
