If the Maven build is done in the next week or two, I think we should wait. If it’ll be longer than that, I think we should try and get the current version out the door. On Jun 6, 2016, at 9:15 AM, Alex Harui wrote: > >> >> I think we should get 0.7 out. > > I keep hoping Chris will report

I wouldn’t say that 0.7.0 is all about Maven. It has quite a few odds and ends fixes, XML, Typed Node.js, etc. I think we should get 0.7 out. On Jun 6, 2016, at 12:26 AM, Alex Harui wrote: > > > On 6/5/16, 2:02 AM, "carlos.rov...@gmail.com on behalf of Carlos Rovira" > wrote: > >> Right, >

Right, the problem right now, at least for me, is the same that I pointed some months ago: Code unstable to test and play for users not following the changes or very involved in FlexJS. I think this is a cojuntural problem and soon would be overpassed. I was waiting for 0.7 release to try again. I

2016-06-04 Thread Josh Tynjala
I agree with Carlos. If the framework side of FlexJS is to be successful, it needs a robust and opinionated "main" set of UI components (even if the SDK also means to be flexible and support other JS component sets). That was one of the biggest selling points of the old Flex SDK, and that's what de

You can use React in TypeScript with the type definitions here: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/master/react My team is using React in TSX which references AS libraries typed with as2dts. For my work, the major advantage AS has over TS is the is/as operators which can check

2016-06-03 Thread Josh Tynjala
Yes, exactly. Using ActionScript with a hot new framework like React would be really compelling, in my opinion. Interestingly, React lets you use ES6 classes as long as you extend React.Component. Here's an example from the React docs: class HelloMessage extends React.Component { render() {

Re: [FlexJS] with ReactJS

2016-06-03 Thread Alex Harui
That's interesting. So essentially, you could replace all the JS in the ReactJS examples with AS? I still think there are more productivity gains beyond that for ReactJS. Anytime I look at these framework APIs using a lot of {} objects, that is ripe for a more strongly-typed API surface. -Alex

I had an idea recently that I haven't looked into too deeply, so it might turn out that it isn't feasible. However, I'd like to try adding an optional flag to make the compiler interpret XML literals in ActionScript as JSX instead (obviously, you'd no longer be able to use XML literals for their or

Hi Peter, very interesting read. These days ReactJS seems to be the V library with most traction on the web (overpassing AngularJS 2 and others). I thought you integrated React in FlexJS but as I read I saw is really a comparision and not an integration like the one with CreateJS. Very useful to s

2016-06-03 Thread Peter Ent
Hi, FlexJS has a couple of non-Flash component libraries now, CreateJS and jQuery, along with integration with Apache Cordova. This got me thinking about ReactJS. I did a little investigation to see how it might fit with FlexJS and I wrote a brief page about[1]. My opinion is that ReactJS, espe
