Use Royale to build the Royale website?
Hi:
At the moment the Royale website depends on a private server running
WordPress. I wonder if it is time to build and deploy it using Royale
itself.
We don't need the great strengths of Royale--dynamic display, subtle
data-processing, and so on--to support the site. It is (as all projects
sites are intended to be) a flat, relatively static website. That should
mean that running our own website with the aid of our own tool should be
far from impossible.
What is required? If I understand correctly, we would need Infra to provide
a virtual machine on which we could install and run a stable instance of
Royale, and a repository of the site's source code in MXML and AS
files, just like a real Royale application.. Each time we updated a page or
a file in the website repository, Infra's automated tools would set off a
build and deployment of the updated site.
Some time ago a proof-of-concept was partly built to do this very thing, so
we have some resources to start from.
Benefits:
-- Since it is a simple website, it should probably be an exercise
contributors and committers at many skill levels could help work on.
-- It would give us a "brag" to point to.
-- We would move over to open-source resources, rather than those of
WordPress..
-- Infra has an efficient and stable CI process in place that can work with
Royale's command-line to trigger builds and deployment.
-- Other????
Costs:
-- Time to migrate the existing site into Royale assets.
-- Other?????
What do you all think of such a proposal?

Hi Andrew,
It is possible build our website with Royale. We are unfortunately suffer
with lack of volunteer who can do this - this is the main problem in my
opinion.
Thanks,
Piotr

Today my wife and I have appointments, a long drive from home, to get our first COVID-19 injections. This will probably use up most of the day, leaving aside possible side-effects, so I likely will not have the wiki page about the web site ready to receive ideas and concerns until tomorrow at the earliest.

Let's use the existing wiki page [1] as a sort of status-update page, if

Re: Use Royale to build the Royale website?

Ah, ok, so you do want to prove out a new paradigm. Go for it and good luck!

That’s something I’m not very inclined to do… ;-p
Snip...
The reason I’m inclined to make the effort to do the Markdown parsing is two-fold.
1. It would be a great opportunity for me to teach my daughter some concepts.
2. I think it would make Royale more suitable for websites. Editing website content is a pain point and Jekyll, while good, requires an extra build step to get the website updated. What attracts me to the parse-markdown-at-runtime approach is that website updates are as simple as updating (or adding) markdown files with no post-processing. I don’t know of anything out there which takes this approach and it might be an attractive one.

Yeah. That’s a risk, but I hope to do it quickly… ;-)

My train of thought was that doing a Royale/Markdown thing might be enough work that it isn't guaranteed to get done before some other thing takes priority in your life, and it might only help Royale's website and not so much the folks using Royale. Thus, I was trying to ask if it would be faster and less work to just rewrite the Royale website in a way that was more similar to how Royale is being deployed in websites already.

> I'm pretty sure I set up the royale-docs repo with some Jekyll script to convert the markdown to html so you can preview your changes. So it might be easier to copy that Jekyll code to a royale-site repo, rewrite the Royale site in markdown, convert it to HTML and publish the HTML instead of adding Royale capability to parse markdown on the fly. And then have one or more of the web pages be a Royale SPA. Could just be a contact form, and/or maybe our ASDoc, and someday maybe a sandbox, but that might be a long-term effort, now that I think about it. I think every committer can pitch in on rewriting individual Royale webpages in markdown now, instead of waiting on you to get the markdown conversion working.

If you aren't using markdown, and are just using some HTML around the Royale app, it might be better if the Royale site does the same thing so the site source serves as a template of how to integrate a Royale app in a production site. Then build out a Royale app for the "Contact Us" or "Ask a Question" form of the site. Or if you are really ambitious, a sandbox/playground/RoyaleFiddle.

Re: Use Royale to build the Royale website?
Posted by Harbs <ha...@gmail.com>.
Hi Alex,
> And feel free to just ignore me…
That’s something I’m not very inclined to do… ;-p
I’m not sure that anyone is using Royale for a “website” currently. Every use I have is an app embedded in an iframe or apps that run within Adobe CC apps.
Well, there’s also this: https://unhurdle.github.io/spectrum-royale/ <https://unhurdle.github.io/spectrum-royale/>
But it’s still an “app” rather than a “website”.
I’d also be curious to know if others are using Royale differently.
The reason I’m inclined to make the effort to do the Markdown parsing is two-fold.
1. It would be a great opportunity for me to teach my daughter some concepts.
2. I think it would make Royale more suitable for websites. Editing website content is a pain point and Jekyll, while good, requires an extra build step to get the website updated. What attracts me to the parse-markdown-at-runtime approach is that website updates are as simple as updating (or adding) markdown files with no post-processing. I don’t know of anything out there which takes this approach and it might be an attractive one.
> it isn't guaranteed to get done before some other thing takes priority in your life
Yeah. That’s a risk, but I hope to do it quickly… ;-)

My train of thought was that doing a Royale/Markdown thing might be enough work that it isn't guaranteed to get done before some other thing takes priority in your life, and it might only help Royale's website and not so much the folks using Royale. Thus, I was trying to ask if it would be faster and less work to just rewrite the Royale website in a way that was more similar to how Royale is being deployed in websites already.

Royale allows the specification of a custom HTML wrapper to mimic that pattern.

> I'm pretty sure I set up the royale-docs repo with some Jekyll script to convert the markdown to html so you can preview your changes. So it might be easier to copy that Jekyll code to a royale-site repo, rewrite the Royale site in markdown, convert it to HTML and publish the HTML instead of adding Royale capability to parse markdown on the fly. And then have one or more of the web pages be a Royale SPA. Could just be a contact form, and/or maybe our ASDoc, and someday maybe a sandbox, but that might be a long-term effort, now that I think about it. I think every committer can pitch in on rewriting individual Royale webpages in markdown now, instead of waiting on you to get the markdown conversion working.

If you aren't using markdown, and are just using some HTML around the Royale app, it might be better if the Royale site does the same thing so the site source serves as a template of how to integrate a Royale app in a production site. Then build out a Royale app for the "Contact Us" or "Ask a Question" form of the site. Or if you are really ambitious, a sandbox/playground/RoyaleFiddle.

Re: Use Royale to build the Royale website?
Posted by Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com.INVALID>.
Hi Harbs,
I'm not really trying to propose anything as much as brainstorm about Royale and its website. My train of thought was that doing a Royale/Markdown thing might be enough work that it isn't guaranteed to get done before some other thing takes priority in your life, and it might only help Royale's website and not so much the folks using Royale. Thus, I was trying to ask if it would be faster and less work to just rewrite the Royale website in a way that was more similar to how Royale is being deployed in websites already.
In Flex, every SWF pretty much had to have an HTML wrapper, so foo.com/index.html might have HTML wrapped around the SWF, or foo.com/index.html was HTML/JS (no SWF) and linked to foo.com/app.html which was an SPA that was HTML that loaded a SWF. Royale allows the specification of a custom HTML wrapper to mimic that pattern.
I'm curious to know how folks are setting up sites that involve Royale. Sounds like there are multiple ways of generating the HTML for the index.html (you are using WordPress) and then does the index.html link to an SPA on a separate page is more fully written in Royale?
I'm pretty sure I set up the royale-docs repo with some Jekyll script to convert the markdown to html so you can preview your changes. So it might be easier to copy that Jekyll code to a royale-site repo, rewrite the Royale site in markdown, convert it to HTML and publish the HTML instead of adding Royale capability to parse markdown on the fly. And then have one or more of the web pages be a Royale SPA. Could just be a contact form, and/or maybe our ASDoc, and someday maybe a sandbox, but that might be a long-term effort, now that I think about it. I think every committer can pitch in on rewriting individual Royale webpages in markdown now, instead of waiting on you to get the markdown conversion working.
But if it turns out that Royale is already being used to create the index.html on web domains so that the entire domain is an SPA, then having a Markdown-to-Royale conversion could be useful to more people.
And feel free to just ignore me...

Hi Alex,
I’m not personally using Royale for anything besides SPAs. Our website has gone through a couple of iterations, but is currently a Wordpress site.
I know the biggest pain-point of our website has been updating content (by non-web-devs). None of the CMS solutions are perfect (we tried Drupal at one point and that was very painful).
Editing raw HTML is also not really a good solution.
Currently, we’re using Wordpress with the Elementor to update content. It’s the best solution we’ve had to date, but it’s still a little fiddly. It’s not bad for a corporate site, but not really a good solution for an open source project.
It would be interesting to see if Markdown might be a better solution. It’s hard to know exactly what I’ll run into until I try, but I suspect it’ll work pretty well.
I’m not sure if I understand exactly what you’re proposing. Are you suggesting a JIT compile of Royale to display?
I do like the idea of a sandbox which would render Royale markup in real time. I seem to recall that someone started work on that a long time ago.

If you aren't using markdown, and are just using some HTML around the Royale app, it might be better if the Royale site does the same thing so the site source serves as a template of how to integrate a Royale app in a production site. Then build out a Royale app for the "Contact Us" or "Ask a Question" form of the site. Or if you are really ambitious, a sandbox/playground/RoyaleFiddle.

Re: Use Royale to build the Royale website?
Posted by Harbs <ha...@gmail.com>.
Hi Alex,
I’m not personally using Royale for anything besides SPAs. Our website has gone through a couple of iterations, but is currently a Wordpress site.
I know the biggest pain-point of our website has been updating content (by non-web-devs). None of the CMS solutions are perfect (we tried Drupal at one point and that was very painful).
Editing raw HTML is also not really a good solution.
Currently, we’re using Wordpress with the Elementor to update content. It’s the best solution we’ve had to date, but it’s still a little fiddly. It’s not bad for a corporate site, but not really a good solution for an open source project.
It would be interesting to see if Markdown might be a better solution. It’s hard to know exactly what I’ll run into until I try, but I suspect it’ll work pretty well.
I’m not sure if I understand exactly what you’re proposing. Are you suggesting a JIT compile of Royale to display?
I do like the idea of a sandbox which would render Royale markup in real time. I seem to recall that someone started work on that a long time ago.

If you aren't using markdown, and are just using some HTML around the Royale app, it might be better if the Royale site does the same thing so the site source serves as a template of how to integrate a Royale app in a production site. Then build out a Royale app for the "Contact Us" or "Ask a Question" form of the site. Or if you are really ambitious, a sandbox/playground/RoyaleFiddle.

Re: Use Royale to build the Royale website?
Posted by Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com.INVALID>.
Hi Harbs,
No objection from me if you want to do that, but I'm wondering how often markdown is being used on the sites that are hosting Royale apps, like the one you are working on for your business. If you aren't using markdown, and are just using some HTML around the Royale app, it might be better if the Royale site does the same thing so the site source serves as a template of how to integrate a Royale app in a production site. Then build out a Royale app for the "Contact Us" or "Ask a Question" form of the site. Or if you are really ambitious, a sandbox/playground/RoyaleFiddle.
Just throwing out an alternative, and I am curious to know what integration patterns folks are using around their Royale apps.
My 2 cents,
-Alex

OK. I’ll hopefully start on this sometime this week.
Once I make some progress I’ll probably try and coordinate with you on how to best document it.
If anyone has further thoughts, please let me know.

Re: Use Royale to build the Royale website?
Posted by Andrew Wetmore <co...@gmail.com>.
Excellent. We will need both maintenance and user-facing documentation, but
once we have this in place Royale will be much stronger and more suitable
to many more uses.

Re: Use Royale to build the Royale website?
Posted by Harbs <ha...@gmail.com>.
Great.
After spending some time looking at existing implementations, I think I’m going to port the parsing code from https://github.com/jonschlinkert/remarkable <https://github.com/jonschlinkert/remarkable>
It’s well organized and the performance is very good.
https://www.measurethat.net/Benchmarks/Show/8434/0/markdown-performance-comparison#latest_results_block <https://www.measurethat.net/Benchmarks/Show/8434/0/markdown-performance-comparison#latest_results_block>
Only Snarkdown is faster, but that implementation seems very bare-bones and outputs directly to html.
Here’s the approach that I’m considering:
1. Markdown gets parsed into nodes.
2. We have a mapper class which maps nodes to corresponding IParentUIBase components. This map will be customizable.
3. We walk down the node tree and create and populate the components.
4. I’d like to hook this into a Router for navigation.
I’m probably going to do this with my daughter who is in school to serve as a practice lesson in generating and using document trees. B-)

Re: Use Royale to build the Royale website?
Posted by Andrew Wetmore <co...@gmail.com>.
I would be happy to help with this. I started to build such a parser myself
a few months back, but got swamped with work. It would be an excellent
demonstration of how adaptable Royale is.

Re: Use Royale to build the Royale website?
Posted by Harbs <ha...@gmail.com>.
I’ve been thinking about the website and I had an idea.
The problems we have with the website currently:
1. You need to loging to Wordpress to make changes.
2. It relies on external resources.
3. There’s no way to make pull requests to improve the website.
4. It doesn’t showcase Royale. If we could "eat our own dogfood”, that would be great.
Royale *can* be used to generate a website, but it’s not really great for writing or updating content.
The best way (IMO) to write content is using markdown. We can create a Royale app which loads markdown files to populate content. We can route based on the URL to specific markdown files to determine which content to load.
The content can be formatted by mapping markdown nodes to Royale components. You could have multiple mappings in a single document so multiple markdown files can be used to populate content in different areas (i.e. sidebar, footer, main content, etc.)
I’m willing to volunteer to write the parser and mapper if others like the idea and are willing to participate in other aspects. There’s a couple of appropriately licensed projects that I can borrow code from for the parsing logic. https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it https://github.com/showdownjs/showdown
Thoughts?

Re: Use Royale to build the Royale website?
Posted by Andrew Wetmore <co...@gmail.com>.
Hi, all:
I have created a wiki page [1] where we can scope out developing the Royale
website as built using Royale. I have suggested some requirements, some
"nice to have" things and some things that are not required; however these
are just my ideas. Input from others until we reach consensus would be
useful.
Here is one specific point: there are a couple of abandoned efforts to
build the Royale site using Royale. Do we use these repositories, or create
a new one for this effort?

Re: Use Royale to build the Royale website?
Posted by Alina Kazi <al...@gmail.com>.
Congrats Andrew.
Yes we can add viewstates (includeIn), phone/tablet/desktop Numerator
denominator to adjust the view on different devices, common header and
footer and much more.
We'll be waiting for the wiki page tomorrow to get started.
Thanks,

Today my wife and I have appointments, a long drive from home, to get our
first COVID-19 injections. This will probably use up most of the day,
leaving aside possible side-effects, so I likely will not have the wiki
page about the web site ready to receive ideas and concerns until tomorrow

Asunto: Re: Use Royale to build the Royale website?
This is great.
To start, I think I will create a wiki page so we can capture what we must have and what we would like to have in the website. For me, our website must communicate useful and engaging information about our project and what one can do with Royale. I would also like to include some features to demonstrate a little bit of what Royale can do--maybe viewstates to manage what displays when, localization (at least some of the site), responsive so it appears well on laptops and mobile devices, use of CSS, and other stuff...and then we can use the website itself as a demonstration of Royale's versatility.
The Infra guidelines say a project's site should not be dynamic, in the sense of using HTTP calls to get data that it then displays: the site should be "flat". But we may find that Royale code compiled to JavaScript can do lots of interestng things wiithout breaking the Infra rules.
I will set up the wiki page tomorrow and let you all know that it is available for adding ideas.

Re: Use Royale to build the Royale website?
Posted by Andrew Wetmore <co...@gmail.com>.
This is great.
To start, I think I will create a wiki page so we can capture what we must
have and what we would like to have in the website. For me, our website
must communicate useful and engaging information about our project and what
one can do with Royale. I would also like to include some features to
demonstrate a little bit of what Royale can do--maybe viewstates to manage
what displays when, localization (at least some of the site), responsive so
it appears well on laptops and mobile devices, use of CSS, and other
stuff...and then we can use the website itself as a demonstration of
Royale's versatility.
The Infra guidelines say a project's site should not be dynamic, in the
sense of using HTTP calls to get data that it then displays: the site
should be "flat". But we may find that Royale code compiled to JavaScript
can do lots of interestng things wiithout breaking the Infra rules.
I will set up the wiki page tomorrow and let you all know that it is
available for adding ideas.

Hi,
Great Maria and really its very good to show it in ApacheCon 2021.
Great Idea Andrew, I would also love to contribute in any way I can.
Also, If you have some design in mind. Share with us.
Create a source repository,so we can start with jewel basic flat theme or
any other option that community suggests. We start migrating wordpress
website step by step. Until we have virtual machine or other stuff ready.

Hi guys,
Andrew, I can help, I think the community has to make an effort if we want to get to ApacheCon 2021 😝
Have you thought about a redesign of the website or a "translation"?
How could I contribute?

Asunto: Use Royale to build the Royale website?
Hi:
At the moment the Royale website depends on a private server running WordPress. I wonder if it is time to build and deploy it using Royale itself.
We don't need the great strengths of Royale--dynamic display, subtle data-processing, and so on--to support the site. It is (as all projects sites are intended to be) a flat, relatively static website. That should mean that running our own website with the aid of our own tool should be far from impossible.
What is required? If I understand correctly, we would need Infra to provide a virtual machine on which we could install and run a stable instance of Royale, and a repository of the site's source code in MXML and AS files, just like a real Royale application.. Each time we updated a page or a file in the website repository, Infra's automated tools would set off a build and deployment of the updated site.
Some time ago a proof-of-concept was partly built to do this very thing, so we have some resources to start from.
Benefits:
-- Since it is a simple website, it should probably be an exercise contributors and committers at many skill levels could help work on.
-- It would give us a "brag" to point to.
-- We would move over to open-source resources, rather than those of WordPress..
-- Infra has an efficient and stable CI process in place that can work with Royale's command-line to trigger builds and deployment.
-- Other????
Costs:
-- Time to migrate the existing site into Royale assets.
-- Other?????
What do you all think of such a proposal?
