Druid 1.0

Description

Hello! The long-awaited update for Druid is finally here! The Druid now is finally 1.0 version! 🎉 This was a long path to achieve current state!

This update brings a lot of improvements, so let's dive in:

New Example Page
I’ve updated Druid's main examples page. Since Druid has become quite popular, I wanted to ensure the examples meet high standards of quality and aesthetics. The examples are now clearer and provide more information. I’ve also added many new examples. Check them out! Share your feedback and suggestions for new examples. Now it's much easier to learn Druid!

Component Reworking
Several components have been reworked. While I generally avoid introducing breaking changes, sometimes they are necessary for progress.

  • Rich Text is now applied directly to the text node, rather than using a Rich Text Template. This makes setup and usage much easier! I’m still working on figuring out how to apply this approach to Rich Input.

  • The Layout component has been completely replaced. It now functions similarly to Dynamic Grid but with more settings and modes. This layout now works similarly to Figma Auto Layout, allowing you to arrange nodes in various ways.

  • Dynamic Grid will be deprecated in the future, with the new Layout component serving as its replacement.

  • Data List now works exclusively with Static Grid, making it more stable and optimized. Additionally, a new cached version is available, which optimizes node reuse. However, the cached version requires using on_add_element and on_remove_element events to properly set up nodes.

Code Cleanup
I’ve finally removed middleclass from Druid. If you were using it for some reason, you’ll need to copy the "middleclass" code into your project.

Annotations
Druid’s annotations were originally created when there were no Lua language servers. These annotations are of the older LDoc type and not EmmyLua. In the future, I aim to get rid of annotations altogether and rely on annotated code, which is easier to read, maintain, and feature-rich. The Defold will support the LLS (Lua Language Server) as well as VSCode with amazing Defold-Kit extension.

Changelog 1.0

  • New Druid logo!
  • [Example] New Example Page with 40+ examples.
  • BREAKING [Rich Text] Now applied directly to the text node instead of using a Rich Text Template (which previously contained three nodes: root, text, and image prefabs). This simplifies usage in the GUI.
  • BREAKING [System] Removed middleclass.lua. If you were using it, you’ll need to copy the code into your project.
  • BREAKING [System] Removed: checkbox, checkbox_group, and radio_button components. These components can be easily created using the Button component. Check the examples for implementation.
  • BREAKING [Layout] Reworked the Layout component. The new version allows arranging nodes in various modes (vertical, horizontal, horizontal wrap) and includes more settings (margins, padding, justification, pivots, and content hugging options). This will replace Dynamic Grid in the future.
  • [Data List] Reworked Data List to work only with Static Grid. It’s now more stable and has an extended API.
    • Added a Cached Data List option, which uses less memory (highly optimized) but requires on_add_element and on_remove_element events for node setup. All components must be of the same class in this case.
  • [Rich Input] Updated with new features such as selection and cursor navigation. New input keys can be configured in Druid (arrows, ctrl, shift).
  • [Input] Users can now switch between text input areas with a single click, instead of needing to tap twice (once to close the focus and once to open the new input).
  • [Dynamic Grid] Deprecated in favor of the new Layout component.
  • [Drag] Added a touch parameter to Drag callbacks, making it easier to add custom logic with input action data.
  • [Scroll] Added scroll.view_size, scroll:set_view_size(size), and scroll:update_view_size() functions for better management of the scroll input area and visible part.
  • [Static Grid] Added grid:set_item_size(size) and grid:sort_nodes(comparator) functions.
  • [Text] Adjustments for multiline text height seem to be working correctly now.
  • [Progress Bar] Improved accuracy when scaling progress bars for images with slice9 parameters.
  • [Slider] Fixed several slider setup issues.
  • [System] Updated and fixed annotations.
  • [System] Removed: pin_knob custom component. It mostly was created as an example and now is not needed.
  • [System] Added self:get_druid(template, nodes) to replace self:set_template(template) and self:set_nodes(nodes) calls in custom components.
  • Various improvements and fixes.
