This is a small demo application that demonstrates how you can easily use qooxdoo from a TypeScript project. This application can also serve as a template to build your own application.
The easiest way is to try it out and get started is:
All you really need to do is implement a function with the following signature:
someFunctionName(app: qx.application.Standalone): void
and then register it:
qx.registry.registerMainMethod(someFunctionName);
Within this function you can use all the qooxdoo widgets you like and it is behaves just like a normal qooxdoo application. The benefit is that because of TypeScript you get all kind of benefits like code completion, type checking and easy navigation. You can use the provided application (application.ts) as an template to see how to create some simple widgets.
To compile your code after editing (assuming you have installed TypeScript) and then see your application in action, use the following two commands:
tsc npx http-server
There might be a cases where the declaration file doesn’t cover all possible use cases, typically because qooxdoo doesn’t always follow sound OO principles. But if you encounter such scenario, it is easy to work around them:
// Produces error because c() is unknown const x = a.b().c() // Work around const b = a.b() as any b.c()
If you don’t want to enter the fully qualified name, you can import it:
import Button = qx.ui.form.Button
const b1 = Button("label 1")
const b2 = Button("label 2")
const b3 = Button("label 2")
This application uses much of qooxdoo and for those part the same license applies as qooxdoo. So either LGPL or EPL. See also qooxdoo.org for more details.
For the remaining part the Apache License is applicable (mainly the qooxdoo.d.ts file).
