Intents

Use widgetIntents for user-triggered actions from buttons.

Rules

• Register intent functions under widgetIntents.
• Generate intent values from the object returned by Await.define.
• Intent parameters must be encodable values: strings, numbers, booleans, undefined, arrays, or plain objects containing encodable values.

Example

import {Button, Text, VStack} from 'await';

function add(step: number) {
	const count = AwaitStore.num('count', 0);
	AwaitStore.set('count', count + step);
}

function widget() {
	const count = AwaitStore.num('count', 0);
	return (
		<VStack spacing={8} maxSides padding={16}>
			<Text value={count} fontSize={28}/>
			<Button intent={app.add(1)}>
				<Text value='Add'/>
			</Button>
		</VStack>
	);
}

const app = Await.define({
	widget,
	widgetIntents: {add},
});

Animation Notes

• Use stable id values for visual entities that move or animate.
• Widget animation duration is capped at 2 seconds.
• For moving entities, prefer a stable outer shell with id and offset.
• Do not put offset and transition='scale' on the same node.
