> What is "js-package"? If the "js" isn't JavaScript, what is it?
I used "package" in the sense of npm. Most packages are modules https://docs.npmjs.com/how-npm-works/packages And yes, js is short for javascript, the usual file ending. Using the browser widget enables HTML5 as a superset of javascript for us. For example HTML5/canvas2d supplies very fast dataURL-methods that we can use via javascript to access the raw data. This is faster than working with 'directly' created Uint8ClampedArrays. Interesting in this context is the original name of js: "LiveScript". > But if we look at the types of externals most commonly used in LC at > the moment, we have tsNet, the MER collection, and others, most of > which provide some pretty great functionality but are rarely creating > GUI controls. "Creating GUI controls" is rather seldom. I write more about "using LC as a GUI" for some 'outsourced' actions, quite different and inherent to most if not all MER-externals. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
