New Menu Control

The new Menu control is a View that contains a vertical list of interactive items. These items notify whenever the user interacts with them using a pointer or the keyboard. This control support a couple types of action items and one that shows a new "sub" menu when the user interacts with it. You specify the contents of a Menu using the MenuFactory, which provides a declarative DSL for defining the structure and behavior of Menus.

val menu = menus(close = { /* close menu */ }) {
    menu("Sub menu") {
        prompt   ("Prompt"            ) { /* handle */ }
        separator(                    )
        action   ("Do something", icon) { /* handle */ }
        menu     ("Sub-sub menu"      ) {
            action   ("Some action"   ) { /* handle */ }
            separator(                )
            action   ("Another action") { /* handle */ }
        }
    }
    action("Execute action") { /* handle */ }
}

TextFields now expose a purpose property

This new property provides a way to specify the use-case for a TextField, which allows its behavior to change rendering or what keyboard to show on mobile.

val textField = TextField().apply {
  purpose = Email
}

Unmanaged Scroll on Browser

NativeScrollPanelBehavior (for Browser) now takes a parameter that indicates whether it should use managedScrolling. Managed scrolling is what Doodle has done for a while now. It lets the framework directly handle positioning the ScrollPanel contents as the user scrolls. This is very powerful and flexible; but it relies on the browser invoking the onscroll event at a high framerate to avoid lag. Unfortunately this isn't always the case. Mobile WebKit does not deliver these events fast enough to make it smooth. So developer can choose to disable this behavior via the new flag.

APIs

• Deprecating previous types in io.nacular.doodle.controls.menu
• Icon's generic bounds have been expanded to Any. This makes it easier to create icons that are based on arbitrary data instead of only Views.
• PathIcon can now be created with a Stroke and Paint, making it more customizable.
• Helper for creating inset Rectangle
