[FlexJS] FlexJSStore

[Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com>]

Today I checked in a port of the FlexStore example into the flex-asjs repo
(in examples/FlexJSStore). FWIW, the original MX-based version of
FlexStore is in the flex-examples repo in the develop branch.  I ported
the MX version to Spark (also in the flex-examples repo). Then I ported
the Spark version to FlexJS.

Only the AS version runs at this time.  My next task is to build out the
JS classes until it runs there as well.  It isn’t perfect, there’s lots of
visual errors around margins/paddings and the default look of components.
We’ll eventually iron that stuff out as we port the new FlatSpark theme to
FlexJS.  But lots of things now are operational: changing states now plays
transitions, you can drag/drop objects, tooltips appear although the need
better visuals.

When I get the JS version up and running, I’ll post running versions
somewhere and start a discussion of the patterns and paradigms that are
used to create such an app.

Anyone who wants to help tune the visuals or port FlatSpark to FlexJS is
welcome to join in the fun.

FWIW, the Spark version of the FlexStore SWF (exported for release) weighs
in at 955K.  The FlexJS release SWF weighs in at 72K.  Yes, we have to add
more code to tune visuals and fix bugs, but these numbers indicate that
there are advantages to breaking down functionality into basic pieces and
building back up.  It doesn’t take 955K to do simple data-binding, states,
effects, transition, drag-drop and tooltips.

Thanks,
-Alex

Once FlexJSStore is up and running, it would make sense for volunteers to
start on such a thing.

Maybe it's worth thinking of a TourDeFlexJS soon?

The DataBindingTest example, which allows you to choose from a small list
of stocks and fetch the price and see a few other things should still be
running on http://people.apache.org/~aharui/FlexJS/DataBindingTest/

FlexJSStore is still a work in progress, but when it gets to a point where
I think it is worth showing off, I will post it on my people.a.o folder as
well.

Hi Alex,

One of my colleague asked me where he can see FlexJS example - I know that I
could compile them on my own, but it would great if some of them we could
see online.

Saying - "When I get the JS version up and running, I’ll post running
versions 
somewhere" do you mean online working version or just source code ? 

Piotr
