Famous-angular New Famous Engine with mixed mode status?

[kevbaker]

What is the status of Famous-angular now that the new Famous Engine with mixed mode has been released?

Has the famous-angular project been updated to the new engine? If not does it make sense to use famous-angular on a new project?

Thanks

@AlanWasTaken, this link goes to the previous Famo.us / Angular page. The
page is amazing, but has not been updated at all to reflect any changes for
mixed-mode.

I think the outstanding question is, "Will famous-angular be updated for
the new Famous Engine with mixed-mode?"

@AlanWasTaken, the mixed-mode features are amazing for sure, mostly
interested in Famous integration with Angular though. Thanks

Out of curiosity, who would be interested in giving back to this open source project to make it compatible with MixedMode?

What do you mean>

[jordanpapaleo]

Famous-Angular was not built by Famo.us but by a third party. It is an open source project that numerous developers have contributed to. I expect that if this project really wants to grow and thrive, the Famous-Angular community will need to be apart of that. So instead of asking if Famo.us will be integrating Mixed Mode with Famous-Angular, I think what we should be asking how do we integrate Mixed Mode with Famous-Angular. So to my initial question: who would be interested in contributing to this open source project to make it compatible with MixedMode?

[AlanWasTaken]

uh... wait wait wait wait... lol

why waste your time doing that when there is already a Famo.us/Angular Mxed-mode.
Why create the exact same thing? that's redundancy

Rather invest your time in adding to OR utilizing the tools to make something awesome

[jordanpapaleo]

Famo.us only just released Mixed Mode a couple of weeks ago. So I am not sure what you are referring to about it already existing. Famo.us, released their latest version of their render engine which abstracts the DOM & WebGL, allowing you to do custom rendering with DOM & WebGL under a single coordinate system. The current Famous-Angular project does not use the latest and greatest version of Famo.us. This issue is about how/if Famous-Angular will implement the latest engine from Famo.us. Sorry for any confusion that you may have had.

Not sure if this got side tracked at all, certainly would like to support
any effort to get this working with Mixed-Mode. Here's the scoop:

• Yes, Famous-Angular was a project originally created by Thomas Street
  http://thomasstreet.com/blog/famous-angular/2014/04/28/famous-angular.html.
  They did an amazing job and had help from the open source community.
• Famo.us definitely embranced it as they have a whole page
  https://famo.us/integrations/angular/#/intro on their legacy site
  dedicated to the technology as AlanWasTaken has pointed out.
• The Famous-angular project is actually on the Famous github account
  https://github.com/Famous/famous-angular, so I figured it was
  appropriate to ask about it in this forum.
• The new Famous.org site has no mention of the Angular support it
  previously had. Which is fine of course if they are going in another
  direction.
• There was a lot of potential value in the Famous-angular project that
  is still hosted on github here https://github.com/Famous/famous-angular.
  It seems to make good sense to port to the new Famous Engine.
• The reason for the question was simply to ask if anyone knew of the
  status so as to not duplicate any efforts.

Jordan,

Thanks for your direct answer. I'll check back later then and hopefully
have some time/ability to contribute as I continue to be interested in
famous-angular.

I've been reviewing the changes in Mixed Mode and found that it will require an extensive restructuring of Famous/Angular. For instance, Surface and Modifier which are some basic building blocks will have to be completely deprecated to support DOMElement and Components that are responsible for the transforms once relegated to Modifiers. This is just the tip of the iceberg. This is probably not just a problem for F/A but also the other integrations announced last year. I imagine the team who built the Meteor integration is having the same issues. It would have been nice for Famo.us to release a Migration guide, however daunting that may seem for a the amount of changes to the framework. I do have to commend Famo.us for putting together much better documentation and the new CLI is really interesting proposition.

One thing we should ask ourselves: Does it make sense to support Mixed Mode in Angular 1.4 when Angular 2.0 is just over the horizon? Or does it mean the project needs to support both 1.4+ and 2.0+ moving forward?

It makes more sense to me to integrate the new Famo.us Engine with a complete rewrite of Famo.us/Angular. This may mean the community needs to band together to create an entirely new project.
