# glendix

`glendix` is the JavaScript-target build and rendering bridge for Mendix
Pluggable Widgets written in Gleam.

Its package boundary is explicit:

- **glendix** owns Pluggable Widgets Tools orchestration, widget definition
  editing, external npm React bindings, and the Lustre-to-React bridge;
- **mendraw** owns Mendix client values and bindings generated from installed
  `.mpk` assets;
- **mxpak** owns Marketplace search, package download, cache, lockfiles, and
  workspace deduplication;
- **glendam** owns generic browser automation.

Glendix does not implement Marketplace access or browser automation.

## Install

```toml
[dependencies]
glendix = ">= 5.0.0 and < 6.0.0"
```

Add `mendraw` only when the project uses Mendix client values or installed MPK
components, and add/use `mxpak` only when package acquisition is required.

A widget project's `package.json` normally includes the Mendix Pluggable Widgets
Tools and their React peer dependencies.

## Basic widget

```gleam
import mendraw/mendix
import redraw
import redraw/dom/attribute
import redraw/dom/html

pub fn widget(props: mendix.JsProps) -> redraw.Element {
  let title = mendix.get_string_prop(props, "title")
  html.section([attribute.class("widget")], [html.text(title)])
}
```

This example composes Glendix with Mendraw in the application. Glendix itself
remains independently usable for external React bindings and Lustre rendering.

## Lustre bridge

```gleam
import glendix/lustre as glendix_lustre
import gleam/int
import lustre/effect
import lustre/element
import lustre/element/html
import lustre/event
import redraw

type Model { Model(count: Int) }
type Message { Increment }

fn update(model: Model, message: Message) -> #(Model, effect.Effect(Message)) {
  case message {
    Increment -> #(Model(model.count + 1), effect.none())
  }
}

fn view(model: Model) -> element.Element(Message) {
  html.button([event.on_click(Increment)], [
    html.text("Count: " <> int.to_string(model.count)),
  ])
}

pub fn component() -> redraw.Element {
  glendix_lustre.use_tea(#(Model(0), effect.none()), update, view)
}
```

## External npm React components

Configure exports in `gleam.toml`:

```toml
[tools.glendix.bindings]
recharts = ["PieChart", "Pie"]
```

Install the npm package, then run `gleam run -m glendix/install`. Glendix owns
both component lookup and element construction; Mendraw is not required:

```gleam
import gleam/result
import glendix/binding
import redraw
import redraw/dom/attribute

pub fn pie_chart(
  attributes attributes: List(attribute.Attribute),
  children children: List(redraw.Element),
) -> Result(redraw.Element, binding.BindingError) {
  use module <- result.try(binding.module("recharts"))
  use component <- result.try(binding.resolve(module, "PieChart"))
  Ok(binding.element(component, attributes, children))
}
```

`binding.element_` creates an element with children only, and
`binding.void_element` creates one without children.

## Installed Marketplace widgets

Package acquisition is a separate step owned by mxpak:

```toml
[tools.mxpak]
mode = "extract"

[tools.mxpak.widgets.Charts]
version = "3.0.0"
```

```sh
mxp install
gleam run -m mendraw/install
gleam run -m glendix/install
gleam run -m glendix/build
```

- `mxp install` writes package assets to `build/widgets/`.
- `mendraw/install` generates typed MPK bindings.
- `glendix/install` installs JavaScript dependencies and generates Glendix npm
  bindings.
- `glendix/build` creates the production `.mpk`.

Projects that do not use Marketplace widgets omit the first two steps.
