Corrected tsx typings
r41 ## SYNOPSIS
```tsx
import { djbase, djclass, bind, prototype, AbstractConstructor } from "@implab/djx/declare";
import { DjxWidgetBase } from "@implab/djx/tsx/DjxWidgetBase";
import { createElement } from "@implab/djx/tsx";
interface MyWidgetAttrs {
title: string;
counter: number;
}
interface MyWidgetEvents {
"count-inc": Event;
"count-dec": Event;
}
@djclass
export class MyWidget extends djbase(
DjxWidgetBase as AbstractConstructor<DjxWidgetBase<MyWidgetAttrs, MyWidgetEvents>>
) {
@bind({ node: "titleNode", type: "innerHTML" })
title = "";
@prototype()
counter = 0;
render() {
const Frame = (props: any) => <div>{props.children}</div>;
return <div
className="myWidget"
tabIndex={3}
style={ alignContent: "center", border: "1px solid" }
>
<h1 data-dojo-attach-point="titleNode"></h1>
<Frame>
<span class="up-button" onclick={e => this._onIncClick(e)}>[+]</span>
<span class="down-button" onclick={() => this._onDecClick()}>[-]</span>
</Frame>
</div>;
}
_onIncClick(e: MouseEvent) {
this.emit("count-inc", { bubbles: false });
}
_onDecClick() {
this.emit("count-dec", { bubbles: false });
}
}
```
## DESCRIPTION
This package provides you with tools to glue your good-fellow dojo with modern
techniques of building the webapp. The core concept is built around widgets and
using .tsx to write it. Here some features:
* `djbase()`, `@djaclass` - traits to declare your classes with `dojo/_base/declare`
* `@implab/djx/tsx` - traits to build the rendering of your widgets with tsx
* `DjxWidgetBase` - abstract class which supports tsx markup and
`data-dojo-attach-*` attributes.
* `@bind(...)` - annotations provides an easy way of using standard dojo widget
attribute bindings.
### djbase, @djclass
These two traits provides convenient way of using `dojo/_base/declare` in Typescript
for declaring your classes.
`djbase(...constructors)` - this method accepts a list of constructors in its
parameters and returns the **fake** base type which then can be used to derive
your own class. This allows you to provide the Typescript with the correct
information about the base type and even use `super`!. The only one caveat of
this approach is that you **MUST** decorate your class with `@djclass` annotation.
Consider the following example:
```ts
import { djbase, djclass } from "@implab/djx/declare";
import { FooMixin } from "./FooMixin";
import { BarMixin } from "./BarMixin";
import { BoxMixin } from "./BoxMixin";
@djclass
export class Baz extends djbase(FooMixin, BarMixin, BoxMixin) {
writeHello(out: string[]) {
out.push("-> Baz");
super.writeHello(out);
out.push("<- Baz");
}
}
```
All mixins are declared like the one below:
```ts
import { djclass, djbase } from "@implab/djx/declare";
interface Super {
writeHello(out: string[]): void;
}
@djclass
export class BarMixin extends djbase<Super>() {
writeHello(out: string[]) {
out.push("-> Bar");
super.writeHello(out);
out.push("<- Bar");
}
}
```
finally create an instance and call the `writeHello` method
```ts
const baz = new Baz();
const data: string[] = [];
baz.writeHello(data);
console.log(data.join("\n"));
```
you will get the following output:
```text
-> Baz
-> Box
-> Bar
-> Foo
<- Foo
<- Bar
<- Box
<- Baz
```
Let's take a closer look to the `Baz` declaration it uses `djbase` to derive
from three mixins and the class is decorated with `@djclass` to accomplish the
declaration and make a real constructor.
To allow an access to the next sibling method (in terms of multiple inheritance)
Dojo provides `this.inherited(arguments)` method but this approach leads to the
problem with 'strict' mode of ES5 and eliminates the type information about a
calling method. This library solves the problem calling inherited/next method by
utilizing `super` keyword. Under the hood there are proxy methods generated in
the prototype of the declared class which make calls to `this.inherited(...)`
method. This technique is compatible with 'strict' mode.
Mixins are declared the similar, they are also may have the base types although
the most common case is declaring the mixin without any base classes. To allow
the mixin to access the next method you should declare the interface with
desired methods and use the special form of `djbase<Super>()` without arguments.
### DjxWidgetBase<Attrs, Events>
TODO
### Markup (.tsx)
Add to your `tsconfig.json` the following options
```json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"types": ["@implab/djx"],
"experimentalDecorators": true,
"jsxFactory": "createElement",
"jsx": "react",
}
}
```
Import `createElement` into your `.tsx` file
```ts
import { createElement } from "@implab/djx/tsx";
```
You are ready to go!
