Druid 0.3.0:

  • Druid:final() now is important function for correct working

  • Add swipe basic component

    • Swipe component handle simple swipe gestures on node. It has single callback with direction on swipe. You can adjust a several parameters of swipe in druid style.
    • Swipe can be triggered on action.released or while user is make swiping (in process)
    • Add swipe example at main Druid example. Try swipe left/right to switch example pages.
  • Add input basic component

    • Input component handle user text input. Input contains from button and text components. Button needed for selecting/unselecting input field
    • Long click on input field for clear and select input field (clearing can be disable via styles)
    • Click outside of button to unselect input field
    • On focus lost (game minimized) input field will be unselected
    • You can setup max length of the text
    • You can setup allowed characters. On add not allowed characters on_input_wrong will be called. By default it cause simple shake animation
    • The keyboard for input will not show on mobile HTML5. So input field in mobile HTML5 is not working now
    • To make work different keyboard type, make sure value in game.project Android:InputMethod set to HiddenInputField (https://defold.com/manuals/project-settings/#input-method)
  • Add two functions to basic component: increase_input_priority and reset_input_priority. It used to process component input first in current input stack (there is two input stacks now: INPUT and INPUT_HIGH). Example: on selecting input field, it increase input self priority until it be unselected

  • Add two new component interests: on_focus_gain and on_focus_lost

  • Add global druid events:

    • on_window_callback: call druid.on_window_callback(event) for on_focus_gain/lost correct work
    • on_language_change: call druid.on_language_change() (#38) for update all druid instances lang components
    • on_layout_change: call druid.on_layout_change() (#37) for update all gui layouts (unimplemented now)
  • Add button on_click_outside event. You can subscribe on this event in button. Was needed for Input component (click outside to deselect input field)

  • Add start_pos field to button component

  • Changed input binding settings. Add esc, enter, text and marked_text. Backspace now is different from android back button event. Check the README setup section

  • Renamed on_change_language -> on_language_change component interest

  • Add several examples to druid-assets respository (see live example here): https://insality.github.io/druid-assets/)

  • Known issues:

    • Adjusting text size by height works wrong. Adjusting single line texting works fine
    • Space is not working in HTML5

Druid 0.4.0:

  • Add Drag basic component

    • Drag component allow you detect dragging on GUI node
    • Drag will be processed even the cursor is outside of node, if drag is already started
    • Drag provides correct handle of several touches. Drag can switch between them (no more scroll gliches with position)
    • Drag have next events:
      • on_touch_start (self)
      • on_touch_end (self)
      • on_drag_start (self)
      • on_drag (self, dx, dy)
      • on_drag_end (self)
    • You can restriction side of dragging by changing drag.can_x and drag.can_y fields
    • You can setup drag deadzone to detect, when dragging is started (by default 10 pixels)
  • [Breaking changes] Druid Scroll component fully reworked. Input logic moved to Drag component

    • Update scroll documentation
    • Change constructor order params
    • Change scroll:set_border to scroll:set_size
    • Scroll now contains from view and content node
      • View node - static node, which size determine the "camera" zone
      • Content node - dynamic node, moving by Scroll component
    • Scroll will be disabled only if content size equals to view size (by width or height separatly)
    • You can adjust start scroll size via .gui scene. Just setup correct node size
    • Different anchoring is supported (for easier layout)
    • Function scroll_to now accept position relative to content node. It's more easier for handling. Example: if you have children node of content_node, you can pass this node position to scroll to this.
    • Resolve #52: Content node size now can be less than view node size. In this case, content will be scrolled only inside view size (can be disabled via style field: SMALL_CONTENT_SCROLL)
    • Fix #50: If style.SOFT_ZONE_SIZE equals to [0..1], scroll can be disappeared
  • Druid Grid Update

    • Anchor by default equals to node pivot (so, more component settings in .gui settings) (#51)
    • Function grid:clear now don't delete any GUI nodes. Druid will not care about gui.delete_node logic anymore (#56)
  • Druid Hover component now have two hover events (#49):

    • on_hover is usual hover event. Trigger only if touch or mouse action_id pressed on node
    • on_mouse_hover action on node without action_id (desktop mouse over). Works only on desktop platform
  • Styles update:

    • Styles table now can be empty, every component have their default style values
    • Remove component:get_style function. Now you can only set styles
    • To get style values in component, add component:on_style_change function. It's invoked on component:set_style function
    • You can look up default values inside component:on_style_change function or style component API on Druid API
  • Druid update:

    • Now function druid:remove remove instance and all instance children components. No more manual deleting child components (#41)
  • Fix: Blocker component bug (blocker had very high priority, so it's block even button components, created after blocker)

  • Fix #58: Bug, when druid instance should be always named druid (ex: self.druid = druid.new(self))

  • Fix #53: Bug with final Druid instance without any components

Druid 0.5.0:

Besides a lot of fixes (thanks for feedback!) two components was add: StaticGrid and DynamicGrid instead of usual Grid component (it is deprecated now). Add component:set_input_enabled for basic component class. So you can enable/disable user input for any component. Finaly implemented on_layout_changed support. Druid components now will try keep their data between layout changing! You also can use this callback in your custom components. Also check component.template.lua what you can use for your own custom components!

  • #77 Grid update:
    • The grid component now is deprecated. Use static_grid instead. Druid will show you deprecated message, if you still using grid component
    • [BREAKING] Remove the grid:set_offset grid functions. To adjust the distance between nodes inside grid - setup correct node sizes
    • Add static_grid component
      • The behaviour like previous grid component
      • Have constant element size, so have ability to precalculate positions, indexes and size of content
      • By default, not shifting elements on removing element. Add is_shift flag to static_grid:remove function
      • This grid can spawn elements with several rows and columns
    • Add dynamic_grid component
      • Can have different element size. So have no ability to precalculate stuff like static_grid
      • This grid can't have gaps between elements. You will get the error, if spawn element far away from other elements
      • The grid can spawn elements only in row or in column
      • The grid node should have West, East, South or North pivot (vertical or horizontal element placement)
      • Able to shift nodes left or right on grid:add / grid:remove functions
  • Scroll update:
    • Add scroll:set_vertical_scroll and scroll:set_horizontal_scroll for disable scroll sides
    • Add scroll:bind_grid function. Now is possible to bind Druid Grid component (Static or Dynamic) to the scroll for auto refresh the scroll size on grid nodes changing
  • #37 Add on_layout_change support. Druid will keep and restore GUI component data between changing game layout. Override function on_layout_change in your custom components to do stuff you need.
  • #85 Move several components from base folder to extended. In future to use them, you have to register them manually. This is done for decrease build size by excluding unused components
  • Fix #61: Button component: fix button animation node creation
  • Fix #64: Hover component: wrong mouse_hover default state
  • Fix #71: Blocker: blocker now correct block mouse hover event
  • Fix #72: Fix return nil in some on_input functions
  • Fix #74: [BREAKING] Fix typo: strech -> stretch. Scroll function set_extra_stretch_size renamed
  • Fix #76: Add params for lang text localization component
  • Fix #79: Fix druid:remove inside on_input callback
  • Fix #80: Fix hover:set_enable typo function call
  • Fix #88: Add component:set_input_enabled function to enable/disable input for druid component. Now you can disable input of any druid component, even complex (with other components inside)
  • Add component.template.lua as template for Druid custom component
  • Update the example app

Druid 0.6.0:

Hey! Are you tired from Druid updates? (It's a joke)

Finally, got a time to release component to process huge amount of data. So introducing: DataList component. It can help solve your problem with GUI nodes limit reached and helps with scroll optimization. Give feedback about it!

The next important stuff is EmmyLua docs. I'm implemented EmmyLua doc generator from LuaDoc and Protofiles, so now you can use EmmyLua annotations inside your IDE instead of website API looking or source code scanning.

Also the Druid examples is reworked, so each example will be in separate collection. Now it's become a much easier to learn Druid via examples. A lot of stuff in progress now, but you already can see on it!

Input priority got reworked too. Now instead of two input stacks: usual and high, Druid use simple input priority value.

And I should note here are several breaking changes, take a look in changelogs.

Wanna something more? Add an issues! Have a good day.

Changelog 0.6.0

  • #43 Add DataList Druid extended component. Component used to manage huge amount of data to make stuff like infinity scroll.
    • This versions is first basic implementation. But it should be enough for almost all basic stuff.
    • Create Data List with druid:new_data_list(scroll, grid, create_function).
      • scroll - already created Scroll component
      • grid - already created StaticGrid or DynamicGrid component
      • create_function - your function to create node instances. This callback have next parameters: fun(self, data, index, data_list)
        • self - Script/Druid context
        • data- your element data
        • index - element index
        • data_list - current DataList component
    • Create function should return root node and optionaly, Druid component. It's required to manage create/remove lifecycle
    • Set data with data_list:set_data({...})
    • In current version there is no add/remove functions
  • Add EmmyLua annotations (ta-daaa). See how to use it FAQ!
  • Add context argument to Druid Event. You can pass this argument to forward it first in your callbacks (for example - object context)
  • Add SHIFT_POLICY for Static and Dynamic Grids. It mean how nodes will be shifted if you append data between nodes. There are const.SHIFT.RIGHT, const.SHIFT.LEFT and const.SHIFT.NO_SHIFT.
    • [BREAKING] Please check your StaticGrid:remove and DynamicGrid:remove functions
  • #102 [BREAKING] Removed component:increase_input_priority component function. Use component:set_input_priority function instead. The bigger priority value processed first. The value 10 is default for Druid components, the 100 value is maximum priority for acquire input in drag and input components
    • Add constants for priorities: const.PRIORITY_INPUT, const.PRIORITY_INPUT_HIGH, const.PRIORITY_INPUT_MAX.
    • [BREAKING] If you use in you custom components interest: component.ON_INPUT_HIGH you should replace it with component.ON_INPUT and add const.PRIORITY_INPUT_HIGH as third param. For example: before:
       local Drag = component.create("drag", { component.ON_INPUT_HIGH })
      after:
       local Drag = component.create("drag", { component.ON_INPUT }, const.PRIORITY_INPUT_HIGH)
  • Lang text now can be initialized without default locale id
  • Input component: rename field selected to is_selected (according to the docs)
  • #92 Setup repo for CI and unit tests. (Yea, successful build and tests badges!)
  • #86 Fix a lot of event triggers on scroll inertia moving
  • #101 Fix scroll to other node instead of swipe direction with scroll's points of interest (without inert settings)
  • #103 Add helper.centate_nodes function. It can horizontal align several Box and Text nodes
  • #105 Add Input:select and Input:unselect function.
  • #106 Add Input.style.IS_UNSELECT_ON_RESELECT style param. If true, it will be unselect input on click on input box, not only on outside click.
  • #108 Add component interests const to component.lua
  • #116 You can pass Text component in Input component instead of text node
  • #117 Move each Druid example in separate collection. It's a lot of easier now to learn via examples, check it!
    • Examples in progress, so a lot of stuff are locked now, stay tuned!
  • #118 Druid.scroll freezes if held in one place for a long time
  • #123 Add scroll for Scroll component via mouse wheel or touchpad:
    • Added Scroll style params: WHEEL_SCROLL_SPEED, WHEEL_SCROLL_INVERTED
    • Mouse scroll working when cursor is hover on scroll view node
    • Vertical scroll have more priority than horizontal
    • Fix: When Hover component node became disabled, reset hover state (throw on_hover and on_mouse_hover events)
    • By default mouse scroll is disabled
    • This is basic implementation, it is work not perfect
  • #124 Add Scroll:set_click_zone function. This is just link to Drag:set_click_zone function inside scroll component.
  • #127 The druid:create is deprecated. Use druid:new for creating custom components

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

Druid 0.8.0

Hello!

In this Druid update no any huge special features. Mostly the bug fixes and reworking the component's interest points. If you used interests in your custom components, you should remove it from component.create and all should works as before.

Also added last row allignment in Static Grid component with "dynamic content poses" style enabled. You can look how it is work here: https://insality.github.io/druid/druid/?example=grid_static_grid_dynamic_pos

You can say thanks to me via stars on GitHub! 😉 Wanna something more? Add an issues! Have a nice day!

Changelog 0.8.0


  • #160 [BREAKING] Remove component interests list
    • The component interests now setup via function declaration inside your components. The functions are still the same.
    • Now component.create function have next signature: create(component_name, input_priority)
    • Your should remove interests list from your custom components if exists
      • From component.create("custom", { component.ON_INPUT, component.ON_LATE_INIT }, const.PRIORITY_INPUT_HIGH) to component.create("custom", const.PRIORITY_INPUT_HIGH)
  • #166 [Input] Fix issue with Cyrillic symbols in range "[А-я]"
  • #162 [Static Grid] Add last row alignment with dynamic content poses enabled
    • Add style param: static_grid.IS_ALIGN_LAST_ROW, true by default. Works only if static_grid.IS_DYNAMIC_NODE_POSES enabled. See the "Static grid with dynamic poses" example.
  • #163 [Lang Text] Set default locale_id value from text node
  • #147 [Lang Text] Remove ... from lang_text to fixed arguments, add format function to change only string format arguments
    • There are some issues with .... Now Lang Text will support up to 7 string.format arguments
  • [Lang Text] Add more self chaining to Lang text component (set_to, translate and format functions)
  • #151 [Text] Fix text adjust by height
    • It still have not perfect fitting, but it's good enough!
  • #164 #150 [Scroll] Fix scroll:scroll_to_percent by Y position
  • #148 [Scroll] Remove scroll inertion after scroll animate or set_to functions
  • [Input] Add current text argument to on_input_unselect event

    • Add initial_state argument to Checkbox component constructor
    • Update Checkbox style, add is_instant param
  • #149 [Button] Call button style functions after actual callback
  • #153 System: Mode Druid acquire input to late_init step
    • Required to solve issues, when go input acquire can be later, when gui input acquire (on init step)
  • #154 System: Change text adjust const to strings
  • #155 Fix: Add margin to total width calculation in helper.centrate_nodes

Druid 0.9.0

Custom components update

Hello!

Here is the long awaited update! Finally I implemented some ideas how to make easier creating custom components. There is a bunch of improvements you can be interested in.

I wanna make a point that Druid is not only set of defined components to place buttons, scroll, etc. But mostly it's a way how to handle all your GUI elements in general. Custom components is most powerful way to separate logic and make higher abstraction in your code.

Usually - custom components is set of GUI template and lua code for this template. I've added editor script, that can make a lua component file from your GUI scene (all boilerplate and usage code, also some component that can be defined right in GUI scene).

Auto layout from GUI script should be a powerful tool too! Also it's brings some code structure and style across all your files. Auto layout works from node names. If its starts or equal to some string, it will add code to generated lua file. For example, if you have in your scene node with name "button_start", it will create the Druid button, stub function and annotations to this. Sounds good!

For more information see Create custom components documentations.

Also this update have some breaking changes: you should no more pass full tempalte name in inner components and the second one is renaming text:get_text_width to text:get_text_size.

The Defold 1.3.0 solves the old my issue with slider component. Now you can define input zone (not only the slider pin node) to interact with slider. It's because of inroduction gui.screen_to_local and gui.set_screen_position in default GUI api. If you using previuos Defold releases, this piece of logic will be ignored.

The Druid Assets repository will be closed and I move some components right in Druid repository. You can now use custom components in your game if your need. Right now it's Rich Input (input field with cursor and placegolder) and Pin Knob (Rotating node for set value). And slowly working on adding new examples and improvements of existing ones.

You can say thanks to me via stars on GitHub! 😉 Also you can help with testing new functions and leave feedback. Wanna something more? Add an issues! Take care of yourself

Changelog 0.9.0


  • #119 Add Create Druid Component editor script (python3 with deftree required)
    • The headliner of current update. This editor scripts allows you to create Custom component lua script from you .gui scene file. It will create component file with the same name as GUI scene and place it nearby. Inside this generated file you will find the instructions how to start usage this (require and create code).
    • This code contains GUI scheme, basic component boilerplace and generated code for components, used in this GUI scene (see #159)
    • See Create custom components for more info
  • #159 Add auto layout custom components by node naming
    • The Create Druid Component script will check the node names to create Druid components stubs inside generated code
    • The generator will check the node name, if it's starts from special prefix, it will create component code for you
    • Currently support the next components: button, text, lang_text, grid, static_grid, dynamic_grid, scroll_view, blocker, slider, progress and timer
  • #158 [BREAKING] Auto get_node inside inner components with template/nodes
    • Before this update, if your component with template using another component with template, you had to pass full template name (current_template .. "/" .. inner_component_template). From this update you should pass only the inner_component_template name. It's will auto check the parent component template name to build full template path
    • If you don't want migrate code for this, this option can be disabled via druid.no_auto_template in your game.project file. By default it's enabled now
  • #171 Add component:get_template() function to Druid Base Component
    • Now it's able to get full component template name. This function has "protected" scope, so you should use it only inside your component code.
  • #173 Fix GUI nodes usage inside inner templates
    • Now you can pass the node name instead of node itself to Druid components inside your Custom Components. Before this update Druid didn't check the nodes in parent component (usually for basic components such as button, text inside your components)
    • So you can use now self.druid:new_button(SCHEME.BUTTON) instead of self.druid:new_button(self:get_node(SCHEME.BUTTON)) inside your custom components
  • #174 Add assert to nil node on self:get_node()
    • It's required for easier debuging components, when GUI node path is wrong and your got the nil. The error with node path will appear in console.
  • #169 [System] Fix on_layout_change event
    • It was broken, now the on_layout_change event is working as expected
  • #165 [StaticGrid] Add static_grid:set_in_row(amount) function
  • #44 [Slider] Click zone on all slider node, not only pin node
    • Finally! Added the slider:set_input_node(node) function. Now slider can be interacted not only with slider pin node, but with any zone you will define.
    • It will work only from Defold 1.3.0. If you use earlier version, nothing is happened. It using new gui.screen_to_local and gui.set_screen_position functions.
  • #178 [BREAKING][Text] Rename text:get_text_width to text:get_text_size. Now it return two numbers: width and height
  • #114 Add default component templates
    • Added templates for fast prototyping. Use GUI templates to place buttons, checkbox, input and sliders on your GUI scene. You still have to create component with druid:new functions inside gui_script.
  • #168 Add button to open code of current example
    • Inside every example added button to open code of this example on GitHub
  • #140 Better documentation for custom components
  • #172 Update documentation with links to components
  • #175 Remove Druid Assets repository, move to Druid library
    • Added folder druid/custom. It will have the complex custom components. Usually you should to use default GUI template or create your own with similar GUI scheme. Currently add RichInput and PinKnob components from druid-assets repository.
    • Usually to use custom component you have to require lua file first and create it's via druid:new(Component, template_name, [nodes]). See component docs to see constructor params.
    • This components will be included in build only if used
  • #176 Keep last scene and scroll position in Druid example
    • Probably, it's useful for faster debug, but anyway. The example now keep the last scene and scroll position.
  • Add new examples: Checkboxes, Swipe, Grid, Rich input, Pin knob
  • Now editor scripts are available in Druid as dependency
  • Move emmylua annotations inside Druid dependency folder. You can copy it from Defold Editor outline
  • Optimize different stuff(Scroll, Druid Event, Druid instance and Base component)
  • Force Data List component to IS_DYNAMIC_NODE_POSES = false style

Druid 0.10.0

Hello! Here is new Druid update. It's brings to you two new components: Layout and Hotkey. Both components are "extended", so to use it, you should register it first (when you try to use it, in console will be prompt with code you should use)

In general:

local layout =  require("druid.extended.layout")
druid.register("layout", layout)

The Drag component now knows about window scaling, so now it have more accuracy dx/dy values depends on the screen size. The scroll and other components should work better :)

Now you can change the input priority of components temporary. For example while you interact with them (input fields, drag on select etc).

Also the update brings several bug fixes and now Druid have stencil_check mode enabled by default. It should be more easy to use input components with stencil nodes without manual set_click_zone functions.

And yeah, the new Druid logo is here!

Changelog 0.10.0


  • #133 [Hotkey] Add new extended component: Hotkey
    • It's allow you set hotkeys to call callbacks
    • You should pass one action key and several modificator keys (left shift, right ctrl etc)
    • List of modificator keys ids setup via component style (you can change it)
    • You can add several hotkeys on one callback via hotkey:add_hotkey with additional params
  • #98 [Layout] Add new extended component: Layout
    • It's allow you to extend standart Defold node adjust modes
    • Layout mode can be next:
      • const.LAYOUT_MODE.STRETCH_X - Stretch node only by X
      • const.LAYOUT_MODE.STRETCH_Y - Stretch node only by Y
      • const.LAYOUT_MODE.ZOOM_MIN - Zoom node by minimal stretch multiplier
      • const.LAYOUT_MODE.ZOOM_MAX - Zoom node by maximum stretch multiplier
      • const.LAYOUT_MODE.FIT - Usual Defold Fit mode
      • const.LAYOUT_MODE.STRETCH - Usual Defold Stretch Mode

Druid 0.11.0

Hello! What a wonderful day for the new Druid update!

Alright, let's get straight to the point. Look at what I have for you!

Druid Rich Text has finally been released. The main difference from the existing Bjorn's Rich Text is that all visual parameters are customizable directly in the GUI. This allows you to integrate Rich Text more accurately and quickly. Additionally, this Rich Text aligns pixel perfect (well, almost) with regular GUI text node.

This version is the most basic one. Honestly, just wanna to publish current version for your and polish it later. Read RichText API here

Another addition is the ability to enable the "HTML mode" for the Button component. In this mode, the button's action occurs in the context of user action, allowing operations like "copy and paste text" "show the keyboard" and more. However, in this mode, the button only responds to regular clicks due to the technical implementation of it (so no double clicks or long taps for this button).

The huge work was done on documentation. Now it's more clear and have more examples. All documentation now moved to the API section. The separate componentd.md manual will be deleted soon as all documentation will be moved to the API section.

The API section now filled with overview and usage examples. I've started with the basic modules, in future I will add more examples for all modules.

Also, I've added the Unit Tests. It's not cover all Druid code, but it's a good start! 🎉

Have a good day!

Changelog 0.11.0


  • #191: [RichText] Finally add Druid Rich Text custom component. Component is used to make formatted text in your's GUI. This Rich Text mostly adjusted visually in GUI and have almost pixel-perfect match with similar GUI text node
  • #39: [System] Finally add Unit Tests. Yeah, it cover not all Druid code, but it's a good start! 🎉
  • #219: [System] UTF-8 performance optimization. Now Druid will try to use utf8 native extension over lua utf8 library if exists. If you wanna use native utf8, just add the extension in your game.project dependency.
  • #156: [Button] Now button can work in HTML5 with html5.set_interaction_listener.
    • The API is button:set_web_user_interaction(true). In HTML5 mode button have several restrictions. Basically, only the single tap event will work.
  • #227: [System] Update current URL in HTML5 example
    • Now if you will open the example from direct URL, it will be updated to the current URL in your browser. So now it's much easier to share the example link with each other.
  • #183: [Docs] Documentation about GUI in World Space
    • Also not only the GUI in World Space, but overall How to GUI in Defold article.
  • #234: [BREAKING] [Blocker] Now blocker:set_enabled and blocker:is_enabled affects only inner state of component. To consume input, the blocker component should be enabled and the node itself should be enabled.
    • Breaking due the changes can affect your current logic. Please if use this re-check Blocker component usage.
  • #235: [Drag] Fix Drag coordinates on streched screen.
  • #236: [Hover] Fix nil return in hover:on_input.
  • #237: [Layout] Add layout:set_max_gui_upscale function.
    • This functions will scale down element, if current GUI scale is bigger than max_gui_upscale value. It can be useful for adapt mobile device to desktop screen.
  • #238: [System] Add Helper documentation.
  • [System] Now the documentation contains the Druid size. The current size as dependency is around 67KB. It counted without extended components, which is not included by default in the build.
