Re: [FlexJS] IntelliJ Integration
This discussion was incredibly long and I had trouble following how to get going.
I’m trying to set myself up with FlexJS for the first time. I’d like to figure out how I can develop working off the repo so I can work on the SDK while I go. Since I’m first starting with FlexJS, I’d like to try and do so with IntelliJ rather than FB.
I took a look at the wiki and the page on using IntelliJ is empty: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/Using+FlexJS+with+IntelliJ+IDEA
So here’s what would be helpful:
Instructions on getting going working off the source:
1) Assuming flex-asjs is checked out from the repo, what steps do I need to do to build from source to be able to use it.
2) How do I link this to FB/IntelliJ?
3) What else needs to be done?
Additionally:
1) How do you get the nightly build?
2) How do you switch targets?

OK, I rushed through (mostly from memory) an update of that status page.
Give it a try and see if it works.

Well, grab the repo, and see if the README can get you to the point of
compiling examples/DataBindingTest and seeing both the SWF and JS versions
run.
I don’t know that we have good instructions on how to use IDEs on the
repos. The repos really don’t look like Flex SDKs. Folks do take
individual SWCs and use them as FB projects but I’m a command-line junkie

Re: [FlexJS] IntelliJ Integration
Posted by Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com>.
IMO, if you just want to build apps on top of the libraries Mike, Fred,
Josh and the rest of the FlexJS crew are building, you won’t need to know
about externs. You will just grab SWCs that have the right API surfaces
and code like you used to.
Right now you have at least two choices of library sets:
-FlexJS Libraries:
-Native JS Libraries
The FlexJS libraries abstract a lot of HTML and browser APIs and support
MXML and AS. That’s what Peter and I have been primarily focused on. You
start with a <js:Application> tag and add your widgets and HTTPService and
AS code and write and test it all in FB and now IJ as a SWF and when you
are happy with the SWF version, you cross-compile an HTML/JS/CSS version.
We have component sets that wrap Jquery components and CreateJS components
as well as the new set of widgets we are writing. There is no
almost-Spark library yet so porting existing UI is a bit of work.
The NativeJS Libraries are created from the ‘externs’. Here you will
write AS as if you were writing JS for an app. You can write direct to
Jquery APIs or browser/DOM APIs but you do it in AS instead of JS. There
is no SWF or Flash involved in the workflow at all. This is essentially
the same thing as TypeScript.
For sure, there are lots of bugs and missing features so you won’t be able
to “code like you used to” right away, but we need folks like you to try
it, help fix it, and make it better.

In my testing, XML is an order of magnitude slower and fatter than AS
classes. I’m not expecting it to be any better on the JS side. So,
depending on how much XML manipulation your app does, it might pay to
convert the XML to data classes before manipulation and convert back on
the way to the server, or have a proxy do some of the work for you.

Well, if there is an externs file for Easel, we can create the SWCs pretty
easily and you won’t have to know learn about it.

The problem is I need to consume the XML and then push it back out. I’ve been thinking about the problem a lot and I think some normal classes that are reminiscent of XML and XMLList are the cleanest way to go. I’m probably going to punt on some of the stickier aspects of E4X, but I think I can get pretty far.

Well I think we shouldn't add Xml-to-Pojo or Pojo-to-Json to BlazeDS as there are enough really good frameworks out there already that you can simply combine.
For Xml-to-Pojo i would feffinitely use CXF and for Pojo-to-Json the support in Spring is so seemless that I don't even remember the name of the framework.

I am currently using libraries from BlazeDS and GraniteDS to convert XML to
POJOs to AMF and JSON for my REST based webservices server. Adding this

Is there no way to convert to using JSON instead of XML? FWIW, I’ve
pondered the notion of a servlet that acts like a proxy server, grabs XML
from the actual server and converts it to JSON.

Re: [FlexJS] IntelliJ Integration
Posted by Harbs <ha...@gmail.com>.
Makes sense.
From my perspective, here’s what I’m looking to do:
I have a rather large application which has a pretty clean divide between business logic and view.
1) I’m looking to adapt the business logic part so it’ll cross-compile into Javascript, pretty much as-is. I expect to have to work on some of the capabilities and classes to make them cross-compilable. XML processing is one example.
2) I’d like to port the view into ActionScript which would compile to Easel.js-compatible Javascript. My understanding is that folks have already been working on the Easel.js problem.
3) I will likely be interested in using and expanding the FlexJS components as well for UI components, although straight
I expect there to be lots of gotchas along the way, but I’m prepared to get my hands dirty. Who knows maybe I’ll even learn a thing or two about the compiler (although those discussions are way over my head).

Re: [FlexJS] IntelliJ Integration

Harbs,
Externs is just a fancy way of saying, you can use a .swc that contains API
for the JavaScript DOM in your as to js projects. You must include this swc
when cross compiling for type checking and such.
So what happened was, Fread and I worked together to get a way to just
cross compile straight javascript using the DOM.
FlexJS to me has become a couple things, Alex and Peter are working on a
component framework that works in SWF and JS. We just created a way to use
ActionScript to make straight Javascript applications.
Note; For now there is a google base.js dependency that is from FlaexJS
framework but eventually, I plan on making the type of javascript
dependency options and configurable, like allowing RequireJS or AMD if you
don't want to use Google base.js
Make sense?

To tell you the truth, I have not understood much of the discussion regarding externs. I think I got the basic idea, but I’m not really sure.
Since I’m starting from scratch, I’m totally open to suggestions on how I should jump in. I’m just clueless as to how to start. Jumping into something new is always the hardest part for me… ;-)
FYI, I expect to be devoting a large percentage of my time on targeting JS in the coming months, and I have a vested interest in the AS to JS approach. After my initial orientation and basic project setup, I think my first goal will be creating some classes to handle XML processing (similar to XML and XMList, but probably a bit more limited and more (modern) Javascript friendly.
This is not really pressing for this week. I don’t have a hard deadline on when I need to be setup, but this project has been working its way up my priority list, and it’s currently pretty much at the top.

Hi Harbs,
I won't be able to do anything regarding the wiki before next week, actually I as waiting for the FlexJS release but I'm fine to give some informations about setting up FlexJS project using IntelliJ before.
It wasn't in my plan to do it for ASJS projects though especially that now we have 2 ways to code the JS part, either directly in GOOG JS or in AS3 via externs, with the first approach, I had to create 2 projects, with the 2nd one, 2 build configurations, I proposed to change the compiler that it could handle this last one in one step (which would mean only 1 project / 1 build configuration in IntelliJ) as soon as COMPILE:JS and COMPILE:AS3 were defined to AUTO which would eliminate the need to define the js output type as I could infer it.
Anyway, I guess this would deserve another wiki page than the one mentioned before.
