Defold Druid v0.7.0

Druid 0.7.0:

Hello! Here I'm again with new Druid stuff for you!

The feature I want a long time to deliver for you: the different Text size adjust modes. Druid use the text node sizes to fit the text into this box.
There are new adjust modes such as Trim, Scroll, Downscale with restrictions and Downscale + Scroll. You can change default adjust mode via text style table, but by default there is no changes - it's downscale adjust mode as before.
I'll hope it can be useful for you for in different cases and now it will be much easy to fit all your texts for different languages!

The next features is made for add more control for availability of user input. So meet the whitelists, blacklists and custom check functions for Buttons. Now you can easily choose the more suitable way to enable/disable/restrict input for you users. I'm sure it can be useful for you tutorials.

Another small, but cool feature on my mind is druid.stencil_check. If you did interactive elements inside the Scroll, probably you used component:set_click_zone to restrict input zone by stencil scroll view node. With this feature, Druid will do it automaticaly for you! You can enable this feature in your game.project. It will not override you existing set_click_zone.

Now you even able to remap default input keys! Also there are several bugfixes with Scroll, Text, Grids.

Wanna something more? Add an issues!
Good luck!

Changelog 0.7.0

• #78 [Text] Update Text component:
  • Add text adjust type instead of no_adjust param.
    • const.TEXT_ADJUST.DOWNSCALE - Change text's scale to fit in the text node size
    • const.TEXT_ADJUST.TRIM - Trim the text with postfix (default - "...", override in styles) to fit in the text node size
    • const.TEXT_ADJUST.NO_ADJUST - No any adjust, like default Defold text node
    • const.TEXT_ADJUST.DOWNSCALE_LIMITED - Change text's scale list downscale, but there is limit for text's scale
    • const.TEXT_ADJUST.SCROLL - Change text's pivot to imitate scrolling in the text box. Use with stencil node for better effect.
    • const.TEXT_ADJUST.SCALE_THEN_SCROLL - Combine two modes: first limited downscale, then scroll
• #110 [Button] Add Button:set_check_function(check_function, failure_callback) function to add your custom click condition to button.
  • Button:set_enabled has more priority than this to check button availability
  • The check_function should return true of false. If true - button can be clicked by user
  • The failure_callback will be called if check_function will return false
  • Example with set_check_function in general:buttons example collection
• #66 Add druid:set_whitelist() and druid.set_blacklist() functions. It's affects only on input process step, you can allow/forbid interact with list of specific components
  • You can pass array of components, single component or nil in these functions
• #111 Add autocheck for input and stencil nodes. To enable this feature, add druid.stencil_check = 1 to your game.project file.
  • This feature is using for auto setup component:set_click_zone to restrict clicks outside scrolls zone for example. Now you can don't think about click zone and let Druid do it instead of you!
  • Add helper.get_closest_stencil_node function to get closest parent of non inverted stencil node
  • Add component.ON_LATE_INIT interest. Component with this will call component.on_late_init function once after component init on update step. This can be used to do something after all gui components are inited
• #81 Add ability to interact with Druid input via messages:
  • Currently add for Button and Text component only:
    • Send to gui.script message: druid_const.ON_MESSAGE_INPUT. The message table params:
      • node_id - the name of the node with component on it
      • action - value from druid_const.MESSAGE_INPUT. Available values:
        • BUTTON_CLICK - usual button click callback
        • BUTTON_LONG_CLICK - button long click callback
        • BUTTON_DOUBLE_CLICK - button double click callback
        • BUTTON_REPEATED_CLICK - button repeated click callback
        • TEXT_SET - set text for Text component
      • value - optional field for several actions. For example value is text for TEXT_SET
  • Add Druid component interest: component.ON_MESSAGE_INPUT
  • Implement new interest via function component:on_message_input(node_id, message)
  • See System: Message input example
• #131 [Static Grid] Add style param: IS_DYNAMIC_NODE_POSES (default: false). Always align by content size with node anchor.
  • If true - Static Grid will by always align to content anchor.
  • If false (currently behaviour) - all poses for static grid is predefined and not depends on element's count (see example: static grid and static grid with dynamic poses)
• #125 Now component:set_input_priority() affects on all component's children too
• #143 Update all lang components on druid.set_text_function call
• #112 Allow remap default Druid input bindings via game.project
• #107 [Text] Better scale text adjust by height for multiline text nodes (but still not perfect)
• #144 [Scroll] Fix some glitches with scroll Points of Interest. Remove false detection of scroll stopped.
• #142 [Scroll] Add Scroll style param WHEEL_SCROLL_BY_INERTION (default - false). If true - mouse wheel will add inertion to scroll, if false - set position directly per mouse wheel event.
  • This fix caused because Mac trackpad seems have additional mouse wheel events for simulate inertion. If you uncomfortable with this, you can disable WHEEL_SCROLL_BY_INERTION for more controllable scroll by mouse wheel.
• #132 Add example with grid add/remove with animations
