Hi Andrew,
That's cool! Thank you for demonstrating that such a thing can be done.
I'm not sure there is a "best approach" for doing something like this. It
really depends on how much time you want to put into it. If you want to use a
3rd-party component in your app and only want to use a few APIs, then the
approach you took is fine and solves your problem quickly.
On the other hand, if you want to make it complete and offer it to others to
use you may find that creating typedefs for the options and calendar objects
and other objects you are wrapping will eliminate the need to use bracket
access such as 'options["defaultView"] = _defaultView;' and thus allow the IDE
to offer better code-assist and catch typos so you don't later waste time
debugging why 'options["defaultview"]' is not working.
Thanks,
-Alex

Hi
Something that Dany Dhondt wrote recently, about using the "fullcalendar"
React component, got me to wondering how easy it was to wrap these sorts of
third party components into Royale.
The answer turned out to be: it's pretty straightforward. I'm not sure I've
used the best approach (no 'typedefs' or anything) but I've created some
wrapper classes that can be used from MXML to drop in a calendar component and
add events etc. Lots of extra work to do to get it to the stage where it's as
functional as the JS/React etc versions, but the lack here is (a) time and (b)
documentation (I can't see a full API for the various FullCalendar classes..!)
Hope it's useful for folk to see how quickly this can be done...

(the wrapper classes are in src/io/fullcalendar, and the mxml file that
uses them is just src/CalendarProject.mxml .. I've been using Moonshine and
just uploaded the whole project so there's lots of irrelevant files in there
too!)
thanks
Andrew
