I’m trying to learn Purescript by writing a DSL for Titanium UI objects.
My first question is: has anyone else attempted this?
I would to make it a Halogen-compatible Surface so that I can also have HTML implementations & use Halogen components to structure my code.
I’m looking for any suggestions and good examples. Are there any examples of non-HTML RenderSpec implementations?
Have a look at this - https://github.com/ajnsit/purescript-halogen-vdom-independent.
This is a backend-independent implementation of halogen-vdom which can be used to render on any surface by implementing an appropriate HostConfig (https://github.com/ajnsit/purescript-halogen-vdom-independent/blob/master/src/Halogen/VDom/HostConfig.purs). The HostConfig format is the same as React’s hostconfig so theoretically any react backend is easily ported to this.
It should be possible to plug-in Halogen-vdom-independent into Halogen and have the entire framework working on a non-html backend.
