10/23/2021, 9:40 AMHey @darkmoon_uk! Just created a sample DC project in IJ to try....
I do like the look of Compose, and its more formidable backing! Nice to see it's just made Beta!

10/23/2021, 9:48 AMWelcome to the party! 😆 Let me know if you have any questions, I don't have all the answers but have been using it for a while.

Kebbin
10/23/2021, 9:50 AMWell that will be a good start! 😄

10/23/2021, 9:55 AMOh I never got back to you about the serialisation thing
darkmoon_uk
10/23/2021, 9:56 AMSo if you want to store a train layout in your designer, you'll be looking to define a data model for the track and serialise that
yes black 1
darkmoon_uk
10/23/2021, 9:56 AMI wouldn't be trying to serialise the UI components themselves, if that's what you had in mind?
darkmoon_uk
10/23/2021, 9:57 AMI don't know what understanding you have of UI architecture but MVVM style works well with Compose.

10/23/2021, 9:58 AMModel your data, have a ViewModel that takes your data and further models the on screen representation of it, then finally a View that binds to the ViewModel
darkmoon_uk
10/23/2021, 9:58 AMAnd it's only that last View bit that you define in Compose

10/23/2021, 9:59 AMJust got into researching the variations of MVC the last couple of months. Been into relational databases before, so quite similar concepts.

10/23/2021, 10:00 AMYour hints above have clicked, so will give me some direction thanks!

10/23/2021, 10:01 AMSo much to learn, so much grass to mow, so much mower to fix...

darkmoon_uk
10/23/2021, 10:03 AMHaha literally or figuratively!? I was down the mower shop today leaving my chainsaw chains outside to get sharpened (contactless)

Kebbin
10/23/2021, 10:04 AMBoth sadly. Well happily the drought has broken so last summer I had to get my ride-on out again! But now I'm impatiently waiting on a new ignition coil for it to try and catch up!

Kebbin
10/23/2021, 10:05 AMI found it was cheaper to buy new chains than pay to get them sharpened!
Kebbin
10/23/2021, 10:05 AMI usually sharpen my own until it gets all out of balance.

darkmoon_uk
10/23/2021, 10:06 AMI should probably do the same but to many things to do and they do it quite cheap down the road
k
Kebbin
10/23/2021, 10:06 AMUsually a better result.

10/23/2021, 10:07 AMUsing their machine I mean.
Kebbin
10/23/2021, 10:07 AMYeah mate, I should jump in too, but just want to test this app!
Kebbin
10/23/2021, 10:07 AMGoodnight!

10/23/2021, 10:07 AMLook forward to hearing more about your project some time 😊

Kebbin
10/23/2021, 10:07 AMWill do, mate. Thanks!
Kebbin
10/23/2021, 10:21 AMWell, that sample app was rather painless! Not like all the fiddling I had to do to get a #&110 VV0R1|) out of Tornado!
