The below ticket originally came in as an ALOY ticket, and is still referenced as ALOY-822. The developer wants the ability to unset properties on a Titanium UI proxy. While I will be addressing the fact that
undefined
can't be used in TSS, the rest of the scope of the ticket is outside that of ALOY and needs to be handled at the platform level.
Use case
I would like to be able to *un*set properties via TSS (and XML).
I want all windows to be heavyweight by default so my
app.tss
has:
"Window": {
modal: false
}
But I have one widget which absolutely needs its window to be lightweight. Right now there is no way to do this. I can set
modal
to a different value like
true
, but even setting it to
null
won't make the window lightweight again.
I tried setting
modal
to
undefined
but it throws a syntax error:
Expected "Alloy", "L", "Ti", "Titanium", "WPATH", "[", "false", "null", "true", "{", comment, end of line, number, string or whitespace but "u" found.
Proposed solution
My suggestion is to accept
undefined
as a valid value, but instead of actually setting it, use it to trigger removing the property.
That way, for that specific window I can set
modal
to
undefined
which would remove that property from the dictionary passed to
Ti.UI.createWindow
.
