May 24 14:42:37 <pmarsh> morning
May 24 14:48:37 <dimk> hello
May 24 18:53:05 <summatusmentis> List fitting setupi is the wrost
May 24 18:53:07 <summatusmentis> worst*
May 24 19:01:23 <GodGinrai> lol
May 24 19:01:31 <GodGinrai> leaving work, cya guys
May 24 22:31:43 <_|Nix|_> Hey! I got started with enyojs about 12 minutes ago. I would liike to make the front page of my app a list of 100 items. So, I took the bootplate code and I changed the kind of the App to enyo.List, and I specified count: 100, and an onSetupItem: function( inSender, inEvent ) { this.$.name.setContent( "Item " + ( inEvent.index + 1 ) ); }
May 24 22:31:52 <_|Nix|_> Yet, I'm still getting a blank page.
May 24 22:31:58 <_|Nix|_> How do I get a list to have items?
May 24 22:32:21 <summatusmentis> can you put it in jsfiddle?
May 24 22:32:29 <summatusmentis> my _guess_ is that your list needs a height
May 24 22:32:33 <summatusmentis> but I want to look to be sure
May 24 22:33:01 <_|Nix|_> summatusmentis: Not sure how to make a jsfiddle ... I'm using the bootplate stuff, which has a whole structure of things.
May 24 22:33:28 <_|Nix|_> summatusmentis: Is there a jsfiddle/jsbin template where I can just add my App definition and the bit of code that renders it to the body?
May 24 22:33:45 <summatusmentis> you can set the library type in jsfiddle to enyo
May 24 22:33:48 <summatusmentis> then put your kind in there
May 24 22:33:55 <_|Nix|_> OK.
May 24 22:34:09 <summatusmentis> then below your kind, so something like: new App().renderInto(document.body);
May 24 22:35:55 <_|Nix|_> summatusmentis: http://jsfiddle.net/qyHbR/
May 24 22:36:28 <summatusmentis> you're missing the components block
May 24 22:37:23 <_|Nix|_> summatusmentis: Oh, OK. I thought onSetupItem sets up the item.
May 24 22:37:34 <summatusmentis> and you you need to trigger the event handler
May 24 22:37:56 <summatusmentis> http://jsfiddle.net/qyHbR/1/
May 24 22:38:30 <summatusmentis> List works by making a "setupItem" event for every row
May 24 22:38:43 <_|Nix|_> summatusmentis: Awesome! Thanks!
May 24 22:38:47 <summatusmentis> you need to set a function that'll handle every row
May 24 22:39:00 <summatusmentis> which is what your onSetupItem function was, but you needed to hook it up
May 24 22:39:13 <summatusmentis> you also have to define, in the definition of the List, what each row item will be
May 24 22:39:25 <_|Nix|_> summatusmentis: OK, I see, and components[] is basically the template for a single row, right?
May 24 22:40:05 <summatusmentis> components: [] is essentially the definition of all the children. In this case, yes, you're defining the component that'll be every row
May 24 22:40:11 <summatusmentis> I'd recommend you go read https://github.com/enyojs/enyo/wiki
May 24 22:40:24 <summatusmentis> it'll give you some good starting background information
May 24 22:40:44 <_|Nix|_> summatusmentis: Yeah, I went here when it started to get hard to understand: https://github.com/enyojs/enyo/wiki/Lists
May 24 22:40:59 <_|Nix|_> summatusmentis: ... and sure enough, there the list also has components.
May 24 22:41:04 <summatusmentis> yes
May 24 22:41:05 <summatusmentis> :)
May 24 22:41:25 <_|Nix|_> summatusmentis: I would've probably figured it out in the end, but a human can make things clear much faster than any document. Thanks!
May 24 22:41:46 <summatusmentis> I'd start by reading through the everything in the "Getting Started", "Tutorials", and "Key Concepts" sections before you jump into the deep end
May 24 22:41:53 <summatusmentis> there are some concepts in Enyo that are fundamental
May 24 22:42:08 <summatusmentis> and would have helped your list issue initially
May 24 22:42:42 <summatusmentis> the rest you can reference as necessary
May 24 22:42:55 <summatusmentis> but I'm happy to help, I'm not trying to come off as preachy
May 24 22:43:49 <_|Nix|_> summatusmentis: Thanks. You're right, of course, and normally I would go more in-depth. This time, I was just trying to throw together a quick example that can be scaled up easily to stress-test the page loading.
May 24 22:43:58 <summatusmentis> sure sure
May 24 22:44:04 <_|Nix|_> summatusmentis: Like, what happens when I set the count to 1000 instead of 100.
May 24 22:44:19 <summatusmentis> with a List, should be nothing :)
May 24 22:44:46 <summatusmentis> they use a Flyweight code pattern, which helps reduce the overhead
May 24 22:44:47 <_|Nix|_> :)
May 24 22:45:03 <summatusmentis> if you want a comparison, setup a Repeater as well
May 24 22:45:15 <summatusmentis> and do something big, like 1,000,000 rows
May 24 22:47:59 <summatusmentis> _|Nix|_: I've gotta head home, so I'll be gone for a bit, but I idle here, so if you've got other questions, I'll get back to you later this evening
May 24 22:57:09 <_|Nix|_> summatusmentis: Thanks!
May 24 22:57:16 <_|Nix|_> summatusmentis: Have a good one!
