@:uiComp metadata behavior

[ncannasse]

If you do this you need to import BlinkComp in your SRC first.

Can you give an example please, as I don't understand how it will properly resolve the class if the tag name (<blink>) is different from the class name (BlinkingComp) from looking at the code here:

domkit/domkit/Macros.hx

Line 70 in e8c6d31

var uname = MetaComponent.componentNameToClass(name);

I think that if the Component has already been typed it will be in the RESOLVED_COMPONENT Map, but that might be subject to type ordering. We mainly use @:uiComp in order to rename "top level" components that are not used in DomkitML

@ncannasse Could you clarify what you meant here? I also found this issue confusing and I would like to make a PR to make the documentation clearer.

[ncannasse]

Components are resolved using packages registered with --init MyMacro.init() that will call for example the following :

domkit.Macros.registerComponentsPath("$");
domkit.Macros.registerComponentsPath("ui.comp.$");

Alternatively, instead of using automatic component resolution you can simply import BlinkingComp so it's part of the scope and accessible.

[tobil4sk]

Ah, yes, importing seems to make components in other packages accessible.

However, it still does not work if the component class is called BlinkingComp and the given component name is blink instead of blinking, like in the example from above:

@:uiComp("blink")
class BlinkingComp extends h2d.Object implements h2d.domkit.Object {}
