StablexUI backend for HML

Installation

haxelib git hml https://github.com/profelis/hml.git
haxelib git stablexui-hml https://github.com/StablexUI/Hml master

Special cases

• Values for metric properties can be specified with units (DIPS by default):

<Widget left="20%" top="100px" height="200dip" width="300" />

• StablexUI enums are imported automatically, so you can use them without fully qualified names:

<Box align="Right & Bottom" orientation="Horizontal" />

• Signal handlers
  • If you dont need to use signal arguments

  <Button onTrigger="trace('Button triggered!');" />

  • If you need to use signal arguments, then you must define a closure with the same amount of arguments

  <Button name="'myButton'" onTrigger=" function(btn) trace(btn.name + ' triggered'); " />

  • If you need to define multiple handlers for the same signal

  <Button>
      <onTrigger>trace('first handler');</onTrigger>
      <onTrigger>trace('second handler');</onTrigger>
  </Button>

• destroyHml() will be automatically called when you dispose() widget created via xml

Using with hxml project files

Put your xml files in <project_root>/hml/xml. Generated files will be written to <preject_root>/hml/gen. Add it to your classpaths.

Now if your build.hxml looks like this:

-main Main

-cp hml/gen
-lib someLib
-lib anotherLib
-swf bin/app.swf

You need to create hml.hxml like this:

-main sx.hml.Generator
--no-output
-lib stablexui-hml

-cp hml/gen
-lib someLib
-lib anotherLib
-swf bin/app.swf

And run it with haxe hml.hxml before haxe build.hxml.

Using with OpenFL and NME

Add to your project configuration file this section:

<source path="hml/gen" />
<section if="hml">
    <haxelib name="stablexui-hml" />
    <app main="sx.hml.Generator"/>
    <haxeflag name="--no-output"/>
</section>

And run openfl build <platform> -Dhml before openfl build <platform>.
