Hi, I am trying to use MaterialDesignLite (master branch in Pharo 7). The demo works perfectly. Now, I thought I would start writing a small web app by subclassing MDLApplication, since that seems to set up things properly. Is that class finished ? How am I supposed to use it ? There are screens, but how are these rendered ? Do I have to do this myself ? Must there not be an idea of a current screen ? MDLScreen is in fact an empty class. Although there are units tests for MDLApplication, there is no subclass, so no actual user. It feels a bit as if the demo should/could use it. Sven
Hello Sven, Did you try https://github.com/jecisc/MDBaseGenerator ? It generates a nice template for starting a new MDL webapp. I do not know about MDLApplication. Cheers, Julien Le 28/11/19 à 11:16, Sven Van Caekenberghe a écrit :

OK that works fine, thanks !
I do not know about MDLApplication.
It is in the package Material-Design-Lite-Core, which seems to suggest it is an important class
Cheers,
Julien

To help with discoverability, I migrated the project from my repository to DuneSt. The previous link should still work with Github redirections.

Hi, This class was introduced at the beginning of MDL and was used by its creator. This person does not contribute anymore and I never really used it so I do not know how useful it is. I will add an issue to take a look and either improve it or deprecate it to not make people lose time. https://github.com/DuneSt/MaterialDesignLite/issues/292 As Julien told you, I usually start a standard MDL application with the generator I wrote to get the basic infrastructure. I hope it helps you getting started smoothly.

Thanks Cyril, I suspect it was not finished and it was a bit confusing.
