[jira] [Commented] (CB-11965) Remove WinJS dependency
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11965?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16363986#comment-16363986 ] Philipp Kursawe commented on CB-11965: -- ah ok, well WinJS is just a tiny wrapper around the native WinRT API. You can use the native WinRT API from Win 8.x to 10.x Not sure if its worth the effort though. As I said... Windows Mobile/UWP is pretty much dead.

The UWP code also contains mentions to WinJS (or at least the tooling used to create and fill them), so I was just curious to understand what your suggestion would apply to. My current understanding: UWP still uses it for smaller things via npm (and copies it to `www`), 8.1 uses it via SDK. > Remove WinJS dependency > --- > > Key: CB-11965 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11965 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: cordova-windows >Reporter: Philipp Kursawe >Priority: Minor > > As far as I can see cordova uses WinJS only for managing life-cycle events, > which can be easily handled without WinJS using native WinRT. > I propose to get rid of the (discontinued) WinJS library dependency to reduce > package deploy size and runtime overhead. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@cordova.apache.org

WinJS in general is dead. It's only barely maintained. What a waste of resources in the end :( But MS has no intention to further develop any of this in the JS space. They fully concentrate on C#/Xamarin. They pretty much abandoned JS as a first class Windows app citizen. For what Cordova does here with the help of WinJS could already back then done with plain WinRT. So if by Win10 you mean Windows UWP apps then you could leave it as it is, it still works. Or, as this issue intended remove WinJS and go with plain WinRT. After all there are not a lot of life-cycle events Cordova needs to handle. But maybe you can clarify your question again. > Remove WinJS dependency > --- > > Key: CB-11965 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11965 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: cordova-windows >Reporter: Philipp Kursawe >Priority: Minor > > As far as I can see cordova uses WinJS only for managing life-cycle events, > which can be easily handled without WinJS using native WinRT. > I propose to get rid of the (discontinued) WinJS library dependency to reduce > package deploy size and runtime overhead. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@cordova.apache.org

The effort that would have to be put into this is not worth my time, anyone's times I guess.

Searching for "WinJS" in the code base I get quite a lot of hits, so this is definitely a change that would have to be properly tested. Would this apply to both Win8.1 and Win10 (UWP) projects? Would you be up for tackling this and maybe creating a PR with the necessary changes? > Remove WinJS dependency > --- > > Key: CB-11965 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11965 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: cordova-windows >Reporter: Philipp Kursawe >Priority: Minor > > As far as I can see cordova uses WinJS only for managing life-cycle events, > which can be easily handled without WinJS using native WinRT. > I propose to get rid of the (discontinued) WinJS library dependency to reduce > package deploy size and runtime overhead. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@cordova.apache.org
