robotlegs-framework-starling's Introduction

Robotlegs Framework for Starling and Feathers

This is a complete port of Robotlegs version 1.x targeting Starling Framework instead of the classic display list. Unlike the robotlegs-starling-plugin, which extends the existing Robotlegs library to add support for Starling display objects, this fork changes the core internals of Robotlegs to specifically target Starling only.

Notable Changes and Features

Uses starling.events.EventDispatcher instead of flash.events.EventDispatcher for all events, including the context.
Support for Starling's event pooling, to reduce garbage collection and increase performance (especially on mobile!).
Can take advange of the data property on Starling events and the optional strongly-typed data argument on Starling event listeners to avoid the creation of many event subclasses.
Adds a dispatchWith() convenience function next to the existing dispatch() convenience function on things like commands and mediators to quickly dispatch pooled events.

Requirements

Built with Starling Framework 1.8. Feathers 2.2.0 or newer is required to work with Feathers components. Feathers is completely optional when using Robotlegs for Starling.

Compatible with Starling Framework 2.

Credits

Based on the hard work of the original Robotlegs contributors. Ported to Starling by Josh Tynjala, creator of the Feathers open source user interface components for Starling.

Examples

The following open source applications are built with robotlegs-framework-starling:

feathers-weather is a mobile app built with Starling, Feathers, and Robotlegs that uses weather and location APIs from Yahoo.
The official Feathers SDK Manager is an application that simplifies installation of the Feathers SDK by downloading all of its dependencies.

robotlegs-framework-starling's Issues

Does it work with the latest Starling 2.3?

Hello Josh,
Does it work with the latest Starling as it's mentioned in the readme that it's built with Starling 1.8. Thanks.

is there any luck you have already ported robotlegs-utilities-Modular?

Hi Josh!.
I have been using robotlegs-framework-starling and it's great! I am needing to use a modular approach, so I tried to port https://github.com/joelhooks/robotlegs-utilities-Modular to use starling.display.* and starling.events.*.
I compared robotlegs against robotlegs-framework-starling, and tried to do the same changes to robotlegs-utilities-Modular but I finally gave it up, it does not work for me, I don't understand many things.

Any luck you already have ported it? or maybe you have ay suggestion to use robotlegs-framework-starling with modules?

Thanks in advance for your time!
Diego

commandMap injection always errors

Is there any working examples using this? I've used RL dozens of times outside of starling as well as s9tpepper's library with success, but when i try to replace it with this library, I always end up with the;

Error: Injector is missing a rule to handle injection into property "event" of object...

error every time I dispatch an event that is mapped to a command if that event has an injection.

ex.

in Context Class:
commandMap.mapEvent(SystemEvent.STARTUP_COMPLETE, StartupCommand, SystemEvent);

in Command Class:
[Inject] public var event:SystemEvent

Thoughts?

Can't create childs mediator

Hello Josh, i am new in Robotlegs,and now i try to use it with Starling, but have problem here...
framework creates only ContextVIew mediator,but not a childrens mediators, which added to ContextView.
This is code i use:
override public function startup():void
{
this.mediatorMap.mapView(StarlingRootScene, StarlingRootSceneMediator);//this one i created
this.mediatorMap.mapView(MainMenuView, MainMenuMediator);//this one no!
super.startup();
}
public class StarlingRootScene extends Sprite
{
private var _currentScene:MainMenuView;
private var _context:RobotlegsContext;

    public function StarlingRootScene()
    {
        super();
        addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onAddedToStage);
        _context = new RobotlegsContext(this);
    }

// ===============================================================
private function onAddedToStage():void
{
_currentScene = new MainMenuView();
addChild(_currentScene);
}
}
Can you help me in this?

Support for Robotlegs 2.x

Will there be support for Robotlegs 2.x?

Tests just not uploaded, or not existing?

Hi Josh,

thanks for this! I'm moving from desktop to mobile and happy to continue using RL1 as it hasn't yet let me down in several years of development!

Did you write some tests and just not include them in the repo, or are tests still on the todo list? If the latter then I may start adding some.

Thanks,

Stray
