B4J Question [BANano] Assets not added in the .dependsOn file of the b4xlib

[Toky Olivier]

Hello,

When compiling to b4xlib, assets files (font files that I put already in the Files folder) are not added in the file myLibrary.dependsOn in the produced b4xlib file. I need to add them manually after libary compilation or there is a sub to call to add them? I see BANano.DependsOnAsset but it doesn't work. Only files added with the lines below are in the file:

BANano.Header.AddCSSFile("myfile.min.css")
BANano.Header.AddJavascriptFile("myfile.min.js")

What I did is I opened the file in 7-zip and modified them manually but I don't want to do this every time.

Did you press sync in de B4J IDE? BANano does use the info in the .b4j file to build the .dependsOn file. (For this reason you can also not have folders in your assets files as the B4J IDE does not support that).

It is not the functionality of the BANanoDependsOnAsset() method to ADD files. The BANano Transpiler can use these directives and ONLY add them to your FINAL Web App IF you do use a SKDatePicker in your Web App! So if you do not use them, those Assets will not be loaded, hence making your final Web App a lot lighter.

Now I see, thank you so much. I didn't know it.
It's fine now.
?

The next release will have the ability to add a zip file (with subfolders) to the Files tab that will be unzipped on .Build() to the root of your WebApp. Such a system did already exist for final WebApps, but now it will also be possible to do so in BANanoLibraries.

Can you mark my answer as the solution? Thanks!

I'll see if I can make a quick release (lib only) by the end of the week.
