Hi, Although the Eo API is not stable to outside, it's able to provide these properties... as elm external is generated and shipped by the same repo/build as the libelementary, I'd say you better invest time into creating an automatic generator.
before you commit the generator/generated version, check that if some properties broke, in that case we may need to work around to keep a legacy behavior (although there aren't many users...) the great part is that this would work for other Eo, like 3rd party libs, etc. On Fri, Apr 21, 2017 at 5:44 AM, Viacheslav Reutskiy <reutskiy....@gmail.com> wrote: > > On 04/13/17 08:35, Cedric BAIL wrote: >> On Wed, Apr 12, 2017 at 10:22 PM, Viacheslav Reutskiy >> <reutskiy....@gmail.com> wrote: >>> On 04/13/17 00:23, Cedric BAIL wrote: >>>> On Wed, Apr 12, 2017 at 1:36 AM, Viacheslav Reutskiy >>>> <reutskiy....@gmail.com> wrote: >>>>> On 04/11/17 01:12, Cedric BAIL wrote: >>>>>> To address this, we have come up with a serie of idea.
