Hey I am trying out redwood and I am a bit confused as to how to implement widget schemas

[Marc]

@Widget(2)
data class Button(
    @Property(1)
    val type: ButtonType,
    @Property(2)
    val content: ButtonScope.() -> Unit
)

object ButtonScope

enum class ButtonType {
    Primary,
    Secondary,
    Tertiary,
}

Looks like when I add the ButtonType it breaks. If I use primitives (ie: a String) everything works as expected

[jw]

Breaks how?

[Marc]

The build itself. It starts not finding imports etc. A bit weird.

[Marc]

Do I need to annotate the enum somehow?

[jw]

It needs to live in a shared module that the schema, composables, and widget interfaces can all reference

[Marc]

oh, so i should create an ie: api module

[jw]

Yep, precisely. I think that's what we call ours.

[Marc]

okay so something like

- schema: contains stuff annotated with @widget
- compose: build schema into composables 
- api: contains models and enums used by the above so it's imported in both

[Marc]

one more question that's a bit unrelated. i noticed instead of enums you ofter use value classes (with ordinal). that is required for the protocol or is there any other reason?

[jw]

It's just for extreme efficiency on our part. We want the overhead of the library to be as small as possible.

I wouldn't bother for your own stuff unless it becomes a problem later on.

[Marc]

The trick worked 😄

kind of more related to kmm than redwood, but do you know why my kotlin.native import is in red? i am only building for jvm at the moment - just testing

[jw]

Which kotlin plugin are you using to compile the generated sources?

[Marc]

multiplatform

[Marc]

im using jvm for the schema, and multiplatform for api, compose and widget

[jw]

The JVM stdlib doesn't have that annotation, but the common one does. It should still compile though, it's just the IDE that is confused

[Marc]

yeah, everything compiles it looks like

[Marc]

thanks for the help!
