@ephemeris/core v1.0.7
core
The core module of Ephemeris. This provides all generic implementations for platform-specific modules to use, such as page loaders, caching and data types.
Usage
Extending interfaces for custom layouts
CalendarPageSource
CalendarPageSource
is an interface that defines how pages are loaded, and what data is loaded on them. CalendarPageSource
is called to create instances of CalendarPage
.
Currently, the only restrictions on a CalendarPage
is that it contains at least one row and at least one date.
For convenience, we've created a CalendarPage DSL to help build your calendar pages. For examples of usages, check out some of the default CalendarPageSource implementations
Platform UI development
There are currently two requirements for platform UI modules.
- Implement
CalendarState
for standardised controls. - Use
CalendarPageLoader
to load data.
CalendarState
CalendarState
defines a common interface for Ephemeris calendar views. It is expected all calendar views contain these functions in some way. For example, Android's EphemerisCalendarView
implements CalendarState
directly, whereas the EphemerisCalendar
Composable takes a class that implements CalendarState
.
It is expected these core functions work exactly the same across platforms. Any extra functions exposed from UI libraries are not guaranteed to be consistent.
CalendarPageLoader
CalendarPageLoader
is a caching layer around CalendarPageSource
. UI implementations should use an instance of CalendarPageLoader
to handle loading data, rather than loading from CalendarPageSource
directly.
When the CalendarPageSource
changes, it is expected to create a new implementation of CalendarPageLoader
and discard the old implementation.
