Hi all, Just a quick advance notice that we are getting something very similar to Swiz before too long. There is a new branch called feature/Crux
We can still explore other possible ways to incorporate Swiz code in Royale (we have looked at having the code donated in the past), but for now at least it is as a derivative work, differentiated by name as 'Crux' and hence the name of the branch. 'Crux' means a main or pivotal point - something important - and a common English expression that can express that is when someone says ""the crux of the matter" - it means an important thing to focus on. The name is what it is now - it is short and has a powerful meaning. But certainly we can review that too. The branch has the beginnings of the original Swiz functionality which supports metadata driven Injection (including runtime Binding Injection), EventHandlers, main Dispatcher etc. Those things are already shown in 3 examples [1] in examples/crux in the branch, (but I did not check the ant builds for those yet- I will get to that). Beyond those features, I have not ventured far yet, and perhaps some of the others may not be relevant for Royale. In case it's useful elsewhere, there is also a new JSStageEvents 'stage events' simulator bead which works from the main application level, and provides bubbling 'addedToStage' events which Crux listens to at the top level. These can be filtered (so not everything generates the events, for example). Not sure if that might be useful for other things, just mentioning it for now... It does dispatch 'removedFromStage' as well, but too late for bubbling, so I will investigate if I can do something a bit sneaky to see if I can make that work. Otherwise it is always possible to add removedFromStage listeners directly to the target of interest inside an 'addedToStage' listener. I expect there will be bugs, and I of course there will be many things I can continue to improve, so this is just an early announcement for your awareness. Carlos sponsored a large chunk of my time on this, so you have him to thank for that, but I have also contributed a lot of my own time, and will continue to do so. Thanks also to Alex for recent guidance on licencing issues, this was uncharted territory for me. Anyhow, Carlos will, I am sure, provide more info, he is very familiar with Swiz from the past. -Greg 1. https://github.com/apache/royale-asjs/tree/feature/Crux/examples/crux
