Elemental2 and JsInterop base beta releases available.

[Julien Dramaix]

The beta version of Elemental2 using the JsInterop specification has been released on Sonatype today and is available on Maven central.

This release introduces the concept of union types (which are heavily used in JavaScript) and many more improvements. More information about union types can be found in this document.

We also split Elemental into smaller jar files:

Jar file	artifact-id	GWT module
elemental2-core.jar	elemental2-core	elemental2.core.Core
elemental2-promise.jar	elemental2-promise	elemental2.promise.Promise
elemental2-dom.jar	elemental2-dom	elemental2.dom.Dom
elemental2-svg.jar	elemental2-svg	elemental2.svg.Svg
elemental2-webgl.jar	elemental2-webgl	elemental2.webgl.WebGl
elemental2-media.jar	elemental2-media	elemental2.media.Media
elemental2-indexeddb.jar	elemental2-indexeddb	elemental2.indexeddb.IndexedDb
elemental2-webstorage.jar	elemental2-webstorage	elemental2.webstorage.WebStorage

You can try them by downloading the jar files or adding Maven dependencies:

<dependency>

 <groupId>com.google.elemental2</groupId>

 <artifactId>${artifact-id}</artifactId>

 <version>1.0.0-beta-1</version>

</dependency>

Then inherit the right gwt module in your gwt.xml file.

This beta version works only with the latest HEAD_SNAPSHOT release of GWT.

We’ve also released a beta version of JsInterop.base. This library contains base classes and utilities that provide access to JavaScript language constructs that are not available in pure Java.

You can try it by downloading the jar file or use the following Maven dependency:

<dependency>

 <groupId>com.google.jsinterop</groupId>

 <artifactId>base</artifactId>

 <version>1.0.0-beta-1</version>

</dependency>

Don’t hesitate to report any bugs, issues, concerns you have on this mailing list.

Important note: They are beta releases and future updates (up until the final release) may break code!

Huzzah!!

I'll be taking this for a spin on my week off; see if I can make custom elements completely hack free (at long last)!

Many thanks good sirs.

Hmm, I have just built gwt head from source and used the above jars but SDM tells me:

 Errors in jsinterop/base/Js.java

     [ERROR] Line 56: JsProperty 'void Js.debugger()' should have a correct setter or getter signature.

Can anyone confirm?

-- J.

[Julien Dramaix]

good catch! It's a bug in GWT. Roberto is fixing it and will propose a patch for that.

Yep, same problem here https://github.com/ibaca/dndfiles-gwt. BUT! if you compile GWT do not fails, only throws this error the codeserver.

Anyway, good work! independent libs and specially base lib are really good news! thanks.

[Roberto Lublinerman]

We relaxed restriction checking to allow void return type from getters.

Hi, a question about JsPropertyMap.

It does not have a keys() method, ideally using Object.keys, this is on purpose?

And, the unique method to obtain the keys is the forEach method, but current implementation iterates over all properties wich might be dangerous, why this method do not use Object.keys or isOwnProperty? 

Thanks!

[Goktug Gokdogan]

jsinterop.base doesn't try to replace elemental, just provide methods that would normally require special syntax in js. You can find Object.keys in the related elemental class (JsObject)

Elemental 1 has this goal (http://www.gwtproject.org/articles/elemental.html):

Elemental also includes high-performance collections and a new JSON library. These libraries work equally well in a browser or in a server (JVM) environment.

Is this still true for elemetal2? I use JsInterop to define DTOs, they area easy and clean, but collections are still a small problem, if elemental solve this will be awesome, but not sure if this is going to be true. New union types can be influenced to be used easily in the JVM too if this is true (I mean, that elemental2 should take care of collections in the browser and the server).

So far elemental2 does not do any magic. It is just JsInterop for browser APIs. IMHO it is fine that elemental2 is small and focused. Anything else should be developed in separate projects.

Elemental 1 won't be retired until we have a replacement for elemental.json and possibly "lightweight collections". Could possibly be as easy as moving them to their own project.

[Daniel Harezlak]

HI, what are the replacements for elemental2.Global.window and similar in this new release?

elemental2.DomGlobal.window (in elemental2-dom dependency) 

[Daniel Harezlak]

Thanks!

Another inconsistency with the previous release of elemental2 which broke my code is the use of elemental2.core.Function for the onreadystatechange field in the elemental2.dom.XMLHttpRequest type which prevents providing the function as a lambda. Other function fields in the mentioned type (e.g. onprogress or onloadstart) seem to keep the functional interface semantics. Is this intended or is it an oversight?

[Thomas Broyer]

I believe it's due to how they're declared in the Closure externs:

onreadystatechange and onerror: https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/blob/8ac08c03cd695b84f8a79ac3a1338172df00003f/externs/browser/w3c_xml.js#L393-L403

vs all the other callbacks: https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/blob/b85c29855a714cae446f61c8a7b2ccaac747722b/externs/browser/html5.js#L2828-L2862

Yes, the externs use the Function object as type instead of using a function type like {function():any}.

We'll fix that for the next version.

I forgot to mention: as a workaround, you can create your own JsFunction callback and cast it to Function:

@JsFunction

interface MyJsFunction {

  void onInvoke(....);

  

  default Function asFunction() {

    return (Function) this;

  }

}

[Goktug Gokdogan]

BTW, if you are using elemental2, keep in mind that these are beta releases to get feedback and APIs will keep changing until we finalize it. So be prepared for breakages in releases until we do the final release cut.
