custom extension not showing properties

Thu, 06 Aug 2015 13:05:06 GMT

Hi all!

i'm working on a extension.

first of all if have defined the proprieties for that extension:

define([],function(){"use strict";

var measures={uses:"measures",min:2,max:2};

var aminationOn = {

ref: "props.animazione.attiva",

label: "Attiva l'animazione",

type: "boolean",

expression: "optional" },

animationTiming = {

ref: "props.animazione.tempo",

label: "Tempo di animazione",

type: "number",

expression: "optional" };

var animationSection={

component: "expandable-items",

label: "Animazione",

items: {

header1: {

type: "items",

label: "Animazione",

items: {

aminationOn: aminationOn,

animationTiming: animationTiming

}

};

return{

type:"items",

component:"accordion",

items:{

measures:measures,

animationSection: animationSection

}

});

ok, so when i drag and drop my extension in the document it ask me to add the two defined measure.

but later when i click on it the right panel doesn't came out, and i can't modify the proprieties.

i think that the problem is in the proprieties definition, but it seems correct to me.

have you ever found that issue? where i'm wrong?

thanks in advance,

Loris

Do you get any errors in the console?

i don't get any error in console,

the only thing i can see in the console is a log that print the layout object, as i have defined in the extension .js file.

so the extension works correctly, i can check in the log that the 2 measure defined during initializazion are calculated.

I don't know if this is the problem, but try removing 'expression: "optional"'. I think that works only for string properties.

Good!

You might also add a defaultValue.

yeah sure!

btw.. i found out that the properties definitions is the worst part in extensions developement.

maybe in my spare time i will develop a light app for compose that json, so i don't have to reinvent the wheel all the time..
