Everything has pros and cons... but for an ide i am very sold into intellij after so many years on eclipse ..I dont think I will use eclipse anymore unless forced to

howudodat

@howudodat

just curious why you like intellij better than eclipse? (I probably wont switch, but I'd love to know)

Colin Alworth

@niloc132

at least ~8 years ago when I switched, it handled big projects better, and refactoring tools were unbelievably better

better integration with either maven or gradle too

@howudodat

interesting thx for the comments

Intellij also with different flavors and setup provide a single experience for many languages.

@niloc132

SQL debugging is amazing in paid intellij, though I havent done SQL in some time

connect it to your DB and it will autocomplete table names, suggest joins, etc

@howudodat

my primary programming is all internal to our company and is in c/c++/java/php with codenameone as a framework and now domino. I have lost count of total code lines.
but i have several hobby projects that I'm slowly moving to domino

I use eclipse so far for everything. does nice with c/c++/java even php. codenameone was integrated. there is even a sql browser, but I use dBeaver for db stuff, it is absolutely amazing. funny thing is that it uses eclipse underneath.

Always trying to learn, but sometimes I find i take the path of least resistance too much

I understand .. and I love the part that says you are moving to domino. 😄

@howudodat

I haven't picked up the whole MVP framework of domino, but for my apps, I'm not sure I need it. I'm liking it so far, but my head hurts and my wall has dents in it from trying to get layouts right :)

Ahmad K. Bawaneh

Getting layouts right is a pain in what ever tool we use .. but I think a good html/css knowledge is still needed to get them right

howudodat

@howudodat

good html/css knowledge <<<<<<<<< and voila my problem. programming since 1983 and it's all I can do to write <html></html> and get it right....lol...no..C(rying)OL

I cane barely spell C S S

I didnt learn css or html until i did domino

Ahmad K. Bawaneh

@vegegoku

@howudodat I think it might be a good idea to file some issues for those layouts or at least some github discussions WDYT?

Colin Alworth

@niloc132

css is far easier to learn than it used to be, esp if you're just worrying about positioning and sizing

there are a lot of flexbox tutorials out there that let you interactively poke different features and see what it does to the containers and their relative positions and sizes

Ahmad K. Bawaneh

@vegegoku

you mean like this one https://demo.dominokit.org/layout/flex-layout

Colin Alworth

@niloc132

like that, but ideally also assigning pixel or percentage sizes to children (and container, but container should be drag and drop to resize imho, or possibly a toggle to animate as it grows and shrinks)

Ahmad K. Bawaneh

@vegegoku

Also I think we split it into 2 section while there should be only one

Colin Alworth

@niloc132

maybe some presets

Ahmad K. Bawaneh

@vegegoku

yah good idea

Colin Alworth

@niloc132

i know @jhickman has fallen in love with grid too, which i understand to be harder to use (and i havent learned it myself)

Ahmad K. Bawaneh

@vegegoku

grids are more flexible ..i found it hard to put them into a generic component because there is a limitless options and variations

so the best thing is just to learn how to do them with css, but they are very powerful

Justin Hickman

@jhickman

i wrote a component with it. i think it worked out well

Colin Alworth

@niloc132

i think it comes down to a philosophical point, do you want to make "lego blocks" that only go together a certain way, but do the work for you, or more granular components (which you seem to have chosen so far) that can be powered by any css you can imagine

but giving tools like that flex-layout page help to learn, build your own pieces

Ahmad K. Bawaneh

@vegegoku

I use flex a lot which is easy and does the job ... for grids ..you understand the one thing you want to achieve and you build the grid for it..right?

I mean writing a component that uses grid is easy.. writing a grid component that can fit any usecase is hard

Justin Hickman

@jhickman

maybe. Mine is very general. You can set properties on the layout itself ,such as columnGap, rowGap, etc. and when adding children, you include a "GridLayoutData"

public void add(IsWidget, GridLayoutData layoutData) {

Ahmad K. Bawaneh

@vegegoku

what is the GridLayoutData?

Justin Hickman

@jhickman

the GridLayoutData is responsible for applying the individual properties

mainly a bean. It has properties such as 'columnStart', columnEnd, rowStart, rowend, area, justifySelf, alignSelf, etc

Then you have it "apply".

It works for my use case

Ahmad K. Bawaneh

@vegegoku

when I look at MDN docs I see in addition to the grid I see that those also need to be supported in such a coomponent
grid-auto-columns
grid-auto-flow
grid-auto-rows
grid-template-areas
grid-template-columns
grid-template-rows

Justin Hickman

@jhickman

yep

Ahmad K. Bawaneh

@vegegoku

What you did is actually what we do for the Rows and columns in domino, Rows and columns in domino are grids underneath

except for IE11 they fallback to old school float

but this is just a small fraction to what grids can do

Justin Hickman

@jhickman

yeah. I didn't bother with any IE support

Colin Alworth

@niloc132

its not too late for me to remove ie11 support too in that patch for gwt 2.10... (actually yes it is, until next year...)

Justin Hickman

@jhickman

of course. I was mainly wanting to use it for the template-areas

howudodat

@howudodat

what is IE11? ...just kidding of course...but it kind of makes a point about trying to keep support for it

Ahmad K. Bawaneh
